Thanks for all of your responses!! I felt kinda silly for posting it, but I'm glad to see you like it. As I said, it was a small victory! We all need some of those! However, now my husband is a little worried as I look at all the lamps in OUR house and say, what fabric from my stash will look good on THAT lamp?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I know very well what I'm going to do with this idea. I have a lamp from
the 1940s that my late husband loved, and I can't force myself to get rid of it,
even though the shade is almost impossible to re-do. But this way I can match
the colors in my front room and use this family treasure for a long time to come,
as a night light. The low wattage bulb will not harm the fabric for many a year.
Thanks for such a clever idea!!
