A labour of love and frustration re-covering this vintage lampshade for a customer. She was over the moon when she saw it.

Unfortunately the “day job” (the one that pays the bills to keep the roof over my head) has been taking centre stage for longer than I anticipated doesn’t mean that you can’t message me if you would like something made as you’ve seen an idea or a fabric to update your interior area. Happy to discuss or brain storm. I’m free every Friday from 4th November to 16 December so please message me.

It’s nearly Spring. A time when we decide we need an update, overhaul or just a change or refresh.

Sometimes you just don’t know where to start. Other times you have an idea but don’t know how to take it forward. Or, you see a colour that you really like but don’t know how to incorporate it into your current colour scheme.

Sometimes that new colour may not compliment your current colour scheme - that’s where you may need to think about updating, especially if it has been a while since you redecorated.

Or, you see a fabric that you know will compliment or even clash with your current scheme but you don’t know how to incorporate into what you have.

This is where I may be able to help. Just simply updating your cushions, lampshades, blinds, curtains or even a new footstool can lift and change the atmosphere of a room.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be a completely new update, just changing your lampshade colour and cushions can completely change a room. It’s brings in a fresh feeling to what has been a long winter haven and building a fortress of defence for survival over the last couple of years.

If you are thinking of updating, refreshing or need a complete overhaul please get in touch. I may just be able to help.

And here it is on the lamp base.

What was going to be a remake for a client on an existing smaller and different shaped lamp frame turned into this. Pale ivory organza ribbon on an 8" drum shade. It now looks in better proportion to the base and the client loves it.
