Many moons ago, I started making paper lampshades. Cut and Pierced Shades. This is one of my old designs. It's hanging in there, bit they are always hard to photograph. The lamp is a pottery lamp by my friend Janno Gay of
Flower Brook Pottery in Dorset, Vermont. The round ceramic stone in front of the lamp is A Sea Stone, by Marion Waldo McChesney,
The Pawlet Potter.
I thought it might be fun to post a few shots from my house. Beware, I took these really fast before going to a party!!! And I only know how to crop on photo shop. There's lots more to learn.... anyway, enjoy. This is a Jamie Young Lamp with a linen drum shade. It is gives great light for reading.
A Marimekko square bell fabric shade shown on a found parts lamp I made a few years ago. This fabric started as a mini skirt, then was a scrapbook cover and now one of my favorite lampshades. Recycle and Reuse.
A very early Danish chandelier. I don't love these lampshades, but have yet to figure out what might be better. I do like the square shape, but am dying to change the fabric.
A vintage bathroom wall scone. A nickel fixture with a round mirror. The shade is a sweet vintage embroidery Hex Bell Clip with a french ribbon trim.
As you can see, these are very quick picks.... the grimy couch is about to be upholstered and can't wait. The dogs love it and it looks like it. The floor lamp was made locally and the shade is a vintage William Morris fabric with raspberry bead trim. The hanging shade is a scallop clip hanging upside down; sort of quirky.
Color, color. The brighter the better in this room. This is part of our kitchen/living space. We lost an important kitchen window years ago when we did an addition, so the lime green paint solved the dark kitchen. This lamp is a pottery lamp I got years ago at a craft show. A great shape, one of my favorites.
A drum shade in my library. A Robert Allen Fabric by Susan Sargent.
My bathroom window/table. Painted valance by our talented decorative art painter in West Pawlet, Roy Egg. No website, no answering machine, you'll just have to make the trek to West Pawlet. He's only open on weekends.... Lampshade to match the wall sconce.
