The Beauty In Tattered, Worn And Weathered

I can search for a beautiful shade for the light this lamp gives but I find beauty in creating.

A worn wrinkled scrap of linen inspired the shade that softens the beautiful wood I
unearthed in the lamp base.



With a needle and thread and a scrap of linen.



All involved was a wide enough and long enough piece of linen then laundered and machine
dried to fray and tatter its edges to then whip stitch the linen to each of the shades support bars.

Relaxed with a comfortable feel.

A simple stitch here and there.

The old nylon fabric was removed from its frame and a wrapped piece of tattered linen
was tack stitched here and there leaving the back side overlapped like a hospital gown.

I rarely take notice of something unless its been altered or can be.

Perhaps this shade next.

The front side of the chest of drawers and a pull-out serving table that acts as my coffee table.
I painted it white with layers of relaxed informal that exude's French rustic comfort. I love this small heirloom chest, it's perfect for hiding away lap throws to cozy up with those soon to arrive chilly nights.

A stone plinth displays.
