Rust and Feathers

There's a new shop in the town of vintage shopping, Lucketts, Virginia.  It's a little bit of rust--AKA industrial, and a little bit of feathers--AKA soft and frenchy, with some chippy sprinkled around.  It all blends well in this multi-vendor shop with something for everyone---Rust and Feathers           

I've known the owner, Syd, for a while.  Not only does she maintain a booth and the shop, but she is also an incredibly talented upholsterer.  She's known for her meticulous work and her eye for fabric selection.  
She's the one to go to when you're in need of some fabulous furniture or if  your furniture is in need of a fabulous fabric update.

Industrial Hanging Fixture

I love the look of industrial. When I saw this lamp shade without its fabric, it reminded me of that look.

I loved the shape and initially I was only going to suspend a bulb on a cord in it.  Then I decided to pretty it up.  I had some upholstery webbing and I cut it to size and hand sewed strips within the openings.  Of course my husband, the implementor of all my crazy ideas, added the cord, socket, and some chain.  I sewed a jute cord cover and added some crystals for a blingy contrast.

Here it is hanging in my booth at the Barn.

Here's another view with the cord cover visible.

What do you think?
