This month's make do & mend is......vintage lightshades.
I recently updated my guest bedroom and wanted an up-cycled feel as the main wall features a gallery space for all my Heart Vintage plates. I wanted something different for my lighting....something individual.
I love the idea of using a collage of found fabrics and recovering it like the above photo.....

or maybe recovering the wire shade with vintage dollies like this one is Lisa Meunier's home. I can imagine lots of pretty patterns on the walls when this turned on.
The guestroom is painted with midnight blues and white, with accessories in mustard and aqua.
I love the shape and idea of spraying in a accent colour like the above lights, I managed to find similar in my local charity shop for a couple of pounds each....
...and here's a sneaky peek of my guestroom, the floor light base has been passed down to me from my grandmother. After stripped the shade of its fabric I sprayed the wire it in a bright aqua shade - I'm pretty chuffed with it the final result.
