I think I am in love…

… with this little chair.

You might recognise it from my latest Flea Market Finds and I particularly love it now because it has a gorgeous little cushion to cover the hole in its seat. The cushion is made from an old thrifted scrap from the fabric stash,and backed with a doily from this huge doily haul. I didn’t think I would ever find a use for this orange doily.
But doesn’t it look like it’s made for this cushion and this cushion made for the chair?

I’m also starting to fall for this lamp.

The lamp was owned by my grandparents and a few days ago it looked like this:

Since the lamp is used in Maya’s room, I’d been thinking of redoing the lampshade for a while and, as Sean would say, “pretty it up”.

After removing the old plastic ribbon from the shade, I then recovered it with an old lacey tablecloth that had been hanging around for years.

Since I can’t crochet, I used the edging of a doily from the huge doily haul to edge the lampshade.

I have also lowered the lampshade and now I’m thinking the base might need a lick of paint. But what colour should I paint it? What do you think? I would love to hear your suggestions.

Oh and this is how the other new project I started last week is looking.

I’m still stuffing it.

How’s your creative space this week? I’m heading over to Kootoyoo now to check it out now.
