New lamp...


Some of you may remember I'm in the process of giving our master bedroom a little facelift..

It's taking longer than expected as we had to order our ensemble from Melbourne..

But in the mean time I'm getting the extras ready..

I won two of these lamps on ebay..


They were the right shape,but wrong colour lampshade..

Nothing a little makeover magic won't fix..

I painted the shades a very pale french grey..


Made the white ruffles from cotton strips..Sewed them on by hand..


I'm so happy with the result..


One down ...One to go..
