On a bright sunny day a couple of weeks ago, I stumble on a fabulous bolt of floral English printed linen in my basement. I remember when I bought this a couple of years ago falling in love with the pattern, spring time flowers on a beautiful linen from England. I brought the bolt into the studio and combed my collection of vintage lamps for a perfect combination for this fabric.
Well I think I found it. A pair of vintage white ceramic lamps, fashioned to look like either baskets or large knots of rope, I will let you try to figure it out.
I made a wonderful pair of shades out of the linen, trimming them with chartreuse grosgrain and a bright mossy green velvet. Topped the lamps off with a pair of iridescent porcelain finials that brings out the colors of the shades. These are made to make you smile, bringing spring time flowers indoors all years round.
Happy Spring,
Susan
