I very much like the toile! The open pattern is an unusual find, and I also love the hot air balloons. Lovely job on the slipcovers - and by hand, no less.

As for the lamp, a suggestion would be to paint it white then dry brush a light gold, silver or green over the contours in the leaves and along the arms of the lamp.

Love the chair covers! The lamp is a definite score ... hmmm painting? perhaps a green milk wash and then maybe apply some gold leaf randomly or some burnt aumbur (wipe on wipe off in areas). - it looks awesome as is - truely a great find!highheeledlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205935979513877589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688566251618947246.post-31674029182565422492010-03-17T12:23:48.259-07:002010-03-17T12:23:48.259-07:00Sounds like a wonderful day of creating and dreami...Sounds like a wonderful day of creating and dreaming about creating.

Love the chair covers and the lamp- not sure if you should paint it a bit- I understand authenticity but seems that you might do it a favour by ridding it of some rust...Beautiful book of patterns!
