Austin in Bloom

Each shade has a story, a history and driving force ... And I love sharing them!

"Austin in Bloom" was commissioned by and designed for a delightful woman in Austin, Texas. She and I  established a friendship as we consulted and came to consensus. We discussed the merits of various shade shapes and sizes, hues and flowers, fit and color harmony. Even though we chatted many times and exchanged photos, I must admit I still held my breath until she saw the final photos and said ...






"I'm so delighted ... She (the shade) is comfortably ensconced in her new home in Texas. There is such a match between the shade and the whimsical chair, "... as if the were made for each other!" And, of course, they were!

This shade is hand stitched and embellished with crystals, silk ribbon embroidery, and an ombre, hand dyed fringe. All are unique, made to order, pieces of functional art.
