Night owls

I love my lampshade in the kitchen & how the light shines through it when the light is on & the kitchen lights are always on in if I'm in the house!

Looks best on black if you have the time & can be bothered!

I am going to decorate one of the bedrooms this week as I have no one booked into that room. I have been for curtain material & paint this morning ready for starting tomorrow.

Three good things:
1. Standfast Fabric shop in Lancaster where you can buy great fabrics from such as Sanderson for as little as £6 per metre! I got 3 metres of material, 3 metres of lining, curtain heading plus cotton for les than the price of one metre of Laura Ashley material!
2. Lypsil.
3. Last episode of Broadchurch tonight!

what a lovely lampshade! I wish I had the will to do some decorating but it's too cold at the moment but I expect you like to get yours done before the season really hots up!

@rosiekind Yes you're right Rosie I have to do it while it's quieter....not in the mood yet but will be when I startbtomorrow, did contemplate getting someone in but it's pretty easy doing it as its not a tall room. Going to try using a roller for the first time!

That is a lovely lampshade. You will be busy tomorrow! I have a room that needs doing if you get bored! lol :)

@willowdragon ha ha thanks Al.....I don't think that's likely somehow! Hope you're feeling better, seem to have lost track of you lately!

@cejaanderson Thanks Jane...I love the baby owls!
February 23rd, 2015  
Love the detail of this lampshade. Is the design by a particular artist/designer?
February 23rd, 2015  
What a neat light shade.. oh you are so brave doing your own decorating.. me and paint just do not go together..

I collect owls, Pat, so you can understand I love your picture.

@helly31 I'm not sure Helen but two other 365ers have the same shade by coincidence & I think someone said what type it was, will check!

@helly31 Lush Lampshades Helen. They have a website!

February 23rd, 2015

February 23rd, 2015  
@gijsje owls have a certain charm haven't they.......a wonderful bird!
February 23rd, 2015  
Love your lampshade and best of luck with the decorating project. Sounds like a bargain shop for the fabric.
February 23rd, 2015  
3 wise owls! Good luck with the decorating!
February 23rd, 2015  
A lovely lamp -- so nice and has a country feel !! Good luck with the decorating -- wish I could still do my own !
February 23rd, 2015  
@happypat I am doing ok ..... getting back on here gradually :)
February 23rd, 2015  
What a great lampshade
February 23rd, 2015  
looks pretty cool on black Pat, it adds a whole new dimension, sheds "new light" on the scene (bad pun intended)
February 23rd, 2015  
@phil_howcroft a clever pun Phil.....you are right though!
February 23rd, 2015  
I love this delightful lampshade!
Good luck with your decorating project! I hope we get to see a photo of the finished room...
February 23rd, 2015  
@peggysirk Yes I will show you the finished room at the end Peggy. I am going for the minimal modern look.....no floral or fuss! Thanks You!
February 23rd, 2015  
@sarah19 Thanks Sallie....I am doing up the room you usually sleep in so all fresh for when you next come!
February 23rd, 2015  
@busylady It's well known in the area...always quite a few people there even on a cold Monday morning. I am doing the room you & Peter slept in Judith........out with the yellow!
February 23rd, 2015  
@quietpurplehaze Thank Hazel.....should all be finished by the weekend hopefully!
February 23rd, 2015  
This would be my favourite lampshade if I had it! Its just gorgeous on black and the way it would be if all the other lights in the room were turned off! You do have a lot of energy to even plan to redecorate let alone go and buy stuff!
February 23rd, 2015  
@beryl Quite a satisfying thing to do isn't it Beryl......can't wait to get going! Thanks Beryl.
February 23rd, 2015  
@chris17 Yes I love it & it's one of those lampshades that looks so much better lit up.
February 23rd, 2015  
@maggiemae Yes you are right maggiemae....it's syking yourself up to get going that's the hard bit! Once I start I will ok......have gone for a paler look to make the room look bigger this time, all white & beige, sounds boring but hope it will look tasteful!

lovely lampshade
February 24th, 2015  
@happypat I like this sort of decor - you can brighten it up with an orange cushion or with the colour of roses!
February 24th, 2015  
This is great! I collect owls.
February 24th, 2015  
What a beautiful lampshade and it looks lovely on black.
Don't tell us how Broadchurch ends we are a few weeks behind you here in Oz. Only just watched series 2 episode 2.
February 24th, 2015  
Looks fantastic on the black.
February 24th, 2015  
Resisting the urge to read about final of Broadchurch. Ours is on Sunday.😎
February 24th, 2015  
Love the lampshade! Fabulous on black.
February 24th, 2015  
Love those owls Pat. Your colour scheme sounds great. I like decorating once i've got started. Not so keen on the preparation especially if I have to strip wallpaper!
February 24th, 2015  
I like be this because we have it three times over on the landing. Coming back from the hens this morning Rachel"s door was open (never when she's hom as she's allergic to the cat) and I could see all the lampshades on the landing and admire them! You just don't get discount fabric like that down here - my mum used to be an expert on the Preston ones!
February 24th, 2015  
That said love and iPad has changed it to 'like be'!
February 24th, 2015  
@happypat Oh I so want to come.......!!
February 25th, 2015  
Very effective!
