decorating question

Hey all you decor-know-it-alls. What fabrics are safe to cover lamps with????


Thanks!!!

ask martha! http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jh...2Bcat265&site=

was just looking at her diy lamps on there. might help.

Thanks!! I'm thinking of putting fabric on the ceiling and I am just being cautious of the light!!

I hope you'll post pics when you've finished1 i'm re-doing my room too. want some grown-up girly glamour!

Right on. I'm trying to make a super romantic room for when Hubby comes home for his 2 week break in a few months.

what colours are you going for? we can swap tips!

I have a lovely blue, gold and mauve duvet cover that my father had made out of a sari from India when he was there. I'm aiming to have different shades of blue and gold in the room with just a little of the mauve. What about you???

pink and chocolate brown i think!

the sari sounds lovely.

Oh that sounds wonderful!!! I would love pink in my bedroom but I think DH would protest!!!

OK so I had to edit that last one because I totally lost the thread idea there.... let me jsut say that your colour choices sound fab!

I just bought a bunch of pink ostrich feathers to place in a vase, for the cats as much as me! They last longer than flowers.

I put up shelves once with hot glue because i couldnt be bothered to do it properly, and they fell down and nearly KO'd my friend!

Nicky!!! LOL you sound like me ha ha. I'm planning on some oak shelves above the bed so I'd better put them up right or I might not wake up one morning!! :-O

yes, mine were over the bed!

(and thats the rather edited version of the story...

)

I am a cushion fiend right now, i have bought so many cushions!! They make your bed so comfy!

That is one thing DH would detest!! He cannot stand having to search for the bed through all the fluff!!! I do have a few oversized ones for the floor though

yes, my ex was the same! but thats the joy of being signle agaiN! can have everything ym way and no-one can complain! lol
