A vintage button lamp shade.

I was flicking through a copy of NZ House & Garden a few weeks ago  and this button lamp shade caught my eye.

I can’t decide if it’s me or not.

Should I have a go and making one of these.??.

Do I have the time?

I still have the rag rug project sitting in the corner of the lounge gathering dust….

So…last weekend Mr F and I went back to Victorian Living in Windsor to buy a shade for the porch.  While we were hunting through the many shades available………

I spotted these frames for sale!

I’ve got the buttons.  I’ve found the frames …

I’ve had the vintage buttons for over twenty years now.  I brought them from an estate sale.  I’d only have enough buttons to do a small shade though.

I’ve had a look at ‘google images’ for  other button light shades but the pickings were slim.

 

Are they just tacky?

A fancy door knob for the bathroom cupboard.

The bathroom cupboard has only had its door knob on for a month or two but I couldn’t resist buying one of these cute colourful button knobs from REDCURRANT, when we were in New Zealand.  So cheap too, only $6.90 NZD.

 

The coat hook was cute too.
