1950's Vintage Metal Floor Lamp Revamped in Red

Found this adorable metal floor lamp
Cute swag on the shade.
 Wish I could have kept it, but it needed a redo, because someone used latex paint (very poorly, I might add)
on the base.
Plus the whole dingy creamy thing wasn't working for me,
so I sanded it down.
And I painted it Red!
Thought about adding a design to the shade, but I changed my mind, thinking that who ever decides to give it a home would have their own ideas, and I didn't want to limit it's appeal.
Think it would look great in boys room or rec room with their favorite sports decal.  A lot of different teams would work like the Cubs, Indiana University (Go IU! - ooops not suppose to say that here in Purdue country) Kansas City Chief, etc...
A black art deco design would look great too.

Or they could just leave red.
