I visited Signature Prints again over the weekend. The store now has a large wall-mounted rack with all the different wallpaper rolls hanging from it. So lovely to see the entire wallpaper collection in this way.
This is the best photo I could take of the shimmery gold outline of the wallpaper I mentioned last weekI picked up a large off cut of fabric some of which I used to cover this old lamp originally in my son's room and some of which I will use for another project. I followed this tutorial by olive & joy but I cheated and covered straight over the original shade instead of starting with a new base.
It is really quick and simple to do and a nice way of updating old lamps I think.
How was your weekend? Did you work on any projects around the home?
Viv you have so much taste. I love your study.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! love the patterns of both the new shade and wallpaper!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The Ikeda print works great on a lampshade - will have to keep that in mind, I have some Ikeda fabric in a black print. The lamp coordinates perfectly with your wallpaper, absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the link you wanted for the eco wallpaper paste I found here:

ReplyDeleteI had a nice weekend of laying by the pool with my husband and helping my sister plan her wedding. I even had time to make her Save-the-Dates and Invitations! Pics coming soon on my blog :)
Just discovered your blog - cool and I absolutely love the wallpaper and what you've done with the lampshade. So stylish and inspiring. Jane :)

ReplyDeleteLovely Little Nest - sounds like the perfect weekend to me. Look forward to seeing them.

ReplyDeleteI keep seeing these fabric covered shades, and I'm a procrasinator with doing it. I have all the materials too, a shame.
ReplyDeleteOooh, you’re such an inspiration. I love this blog!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really pretty and dainty. That would be a great center piece in your garden.
