to re-cover lamp shades when needed.
The saga of my favourite lamp's life ;
started out shiny and new with a pink pleated shade fabric(remember when rose was in), then after attending a decorater's home showcase ; saw a rose flower lamp shade

Whimsy, tres chic!So in!
Okay, not every one's idea of chic but it was kitch.I think my daughters thought I was nuts.
After several years decided that the roses were a bit too much; so hot glue gun in hand came up with something a little less over the top .
What do you think? still OTT with all those leaves, note the pink peeking thru?
Lived with this version for a couple of years and now I have recovered it yet again with the help of my trusty hot glue gun.Thanks goodness for hot glue guns.
Lamp stripped of old pink cover and leaves.
Ta Da ! my new shade with soft sage green ultra suede on .
Needs some trim to finish it off.Will try to restrain myself from OTT trim, tho perhaps some bling!
Next on the updating of items; 2 pillows to cover with same ultra suede fabric and perhaps a foot stool.
No more kitch!
