I decided the only way to get the sort of lamp I wanted for the bedroom was to make it...soooo I found the perfect base this morning in an antique shop in Hebden Bridge...but it had no electric workings on it...anyway I took it to a friendly electrical stall and the lovely, helpful lady helped me out with all the bits I needed...it's the first time I've ever stripped a cable or attached a plug..so I'm thrilled to bits with the result!
I used a lacy camisole top to cover the chintzy shade, added some tassels and pompom braid, a cheeky bow and ta daa!!
Beautiful 50s, plaster base.
Where the cable threads through..
With the lamp lit.
I like the colours of the chintz glowing through.
