</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our friend Ted Furst opened his new restaurant <a href="http://www.bistrolegrand.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=18&Itemid=1">Le Grand Bistro Americain</a> at Carillon Point in Bellevue last year and he called Chris to help build the interior. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a beautiful location............just look at the view!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We met Ted a long, long time ago, in the early 80's when he was opening his first restaurant, Campagne on Capitol Hill. That was before they expanded to the new Campagne at the Market. The first restaurant was just a tiny space with a postage stamp size patio which they soon outgrew because Ted COOKED!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today was the first time I visited Le Grand and I was delighted that Ted came in before we left. He's ready to start his day at 9:30 in the morning.........it will be a long time till he leaves at the end of dinner.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first thing you see when you walk into Le Grand is the host stand. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Long story here, but I'm going to tell you all about it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chris's father Joe collected antique furniture in the 50's to furnish their house. All the antiques you've seen in the pictures I take around our house, the giant mirror, the dark carved pieces, even the "Gauguin" came from Joe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chris got all the antiques that were in bad shape because he was the only one who could fix them.....or not. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When Chris was thinking about building the host stand he took apart an old sideboard of Joe's and used the decorative parts to create this beautiful piece.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My friend <a href="http://www.cheriaellis.com/">Cheri</a> is working on a new collection of dresses. I hosted a photo shoot today and I have a few "behind the scenes" pictures to share. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In our backyard Chris has created an oasis. I'm not the gardener in this family but, in the last couple years I've enjoyed helping Chris lay brick paths and built stone walls. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We staged a vignette using two of Chris's doors and one of his tables. The turned wood pedestal of the table has an auto body paint finish. The top and base are veneer. Remember the "Gauguin" floor lamp.............maybe four months ago? It's still not finished............not lined or trimmed yet, but we used it for prop, it looks fabulous............I've got to get back and finish that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had to set up in the bamboo forest in the front yard again. We got lots of new shoots this year. It was fun to bring the lamps outside. I made the rock floor lamp with pebbles from the beach at Ocean Shores and you can also see my sculptural copper lamp on Chris's table. I finished the linen shade with the bug embroidery.</div><br />

Using only the yellow rocks that I picked off the beach at Ocean shores, I made these for the console behind her couch. The linen and the trim on these lampshades is vintage.</div><br />

I was picking up all kinds of parts in metal and glass at the flea markets and building lamps like this one. I found the drops at the Porte de Vanves in Paris..........I love them........I've been thinking for years of a way to make drops similar to these.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been too long since I saw my friend Daniel. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> It happens that Romie is moving again.........her yearly migration. When her lease is up she gets the itch to move. This time she's leaving apartment life in the city to a little house in the suburbs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And for me this is a blast to the past because she's moving to our old neighborhood.........Seward Park in south Seattle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It also happens that Daniel left apartment life in the city to a house in the suburbs..........so yesterday I helped Romie with two carloads and visited my friend Daniel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In this first photo is one of my ceramic lamps. I was in an experimental mood and did the finish on this with oil paint instead of glaze. The lampshade is a cool shaggy fabric from Larsen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh..........and this is one of Chris's tables. The base and the top are veneer and the turned pedestal is painted.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Daniel brought me this old ship and I had it double wired with a little light in the base. The lampshade is made with the silk from an old kimono.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't often make pleated lampshades but this seemed just right for Daniel's lamp. The trim is vintage and the cool drops are from Daniel's collection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also made the pillows for his couch.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is one of my ceramic figure lamps. I saw this in his bedroom yesterday and was so delighted.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The lampshade is linen from Rose Tarlow and the trim is vintage.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I gotta tell you about Daniel now.........this multi talented man is a <a href="http://www.queenannegardens.com/">landscape designer</a> and guess what............all the paintings are his own!! (except the one in the living room, behind the pleated lampshade). You can see Daniels work on his website<a href="http://www.queenannegardens.com/"> Queen Anne Gardens</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found the wooden square head man at a flea market and he stood on a spike in the garden for lots of years till I took him to Stephen at <a href="http://landbridgelighting.com/">Landbridge Lighting</a> to be wired.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wrote a post last week with pictures that I took of my work at Patti's house.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We liked the shape of the frame and I suggested we change from silk to linen with embroidery.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Eric called Chris to build the interior of this elegant space and more importantly, he was asked to build this door.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chris has always tried to steer clear of trends. Old reclaimed wood, distressed finishes, Nakashima knockoffs are not Chris's thing.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chris combined old and new wood in the fabrication of this door with an eye to refinement. This was the first of Chris's amazing doors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I brought this lampshade home with me to remodel this week. We love the shape but the silk was feeling a bit fatigued so Mary and I are going to choose new fabric for it. Trim was an important element 10 years ago but not so much today. We'll see what we come up with next week when Mary has time to consult with me.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I started making lamps I was buying a lot of flea market junk and building lamps with pieces.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know you're laughing now..........this is so crazy. I've always loved the old figure lamps. I bought them at flea markets whenever I found one that I thought was unique. This is on Patti's desk in the master bedroom. Remember........ this was ten years ago.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a bit more updated here. Mary installed the two swing arm sconces recently. We made the lampshades with a cotton fabric from Rose Tarlow and the trim is Samuel & Sons.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made the long pillow on the bed with an antique velvet tapestry.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is another vintage lamp that Patti uses as a night light in the master bath. I recovered a vintage lampshade frame for this one.........very cute, old-fashioned shape.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mary designed a small outdoor space on the front porch and Patti bought this petite floor lamp from me to sit between the chair and the couch. I made the lampshade in a different style than my usual. It has elastic at the top and bottom and just slips on the frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately, some birds liked it so much they tried to take the material off it for their nest. It is full of holes. I brought this one home also to do a makeover. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like the term "boy friend shirt". It makes me think of waking up in the morning and tossing on your boy friend's shirt to wear while you make coffee.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not that it's ever happened in my life..........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not that Chris would ever let me where his clothes..........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I do walk through the men's departments when things are on sale.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought this Comme Des Garcons shirt at Barney's in the men's department long long ago. I've worn it till it's ragged torn and stained........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I've loved it and I didn't want to give it up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I..........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cut it up.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought a piece of cotton at <a href="http://nancyssewingbasket.reachlocal.com/coupon/?scid=1637715&cid=816427&tc=11072109421691435&rl_key=87465385c4b4cd935">Nancy's Sewing Basket</a> in Seattle. We are lucky to have a store here that carries fine fabrics. This store has everything a serious dressmaker needs for a wedding gown or a prom dress as well as a wide selection of wools and linens. I'm particularly drawn to the rack of cottons perfect for a hand made men's shirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When was the last time you saw a guy with ruffles on his shirt?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose this striped cotton not only because it was similar to my original shirt but because it is reversible, just slightly different on either side. Also, I can use the stripe horizontally or vertically as you can see here.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see the collar here how I used the front and the back side of the fabric and the horizontal and vertical stripe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I completed this in less than a day and now I can enjoy wearing this almost as much as the original.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've just finished this embroidered lampshade. I had originally made the pair with bird pictures. I completed one but I was not happy with the way the bird looked on the second. I contemplated for a month before I ripped it off. And I was undecided for another month about what new embroidery to design.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I ended by lesson last week I was sewing the fabric on the body of the frame. After it's all sewn in nice and tight, you trim off the extra on the top and bottom.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've sewn the seams in the lining and I'm ready to pin it to the frame. I use a very good quality 4-ply silk crepe for my lining which I buy from Eastern Silk in LA. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I use this glue for all the trimming. I cut my rib trims from the selvedge edge of my body fabric 1 3/8" wide.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most sewn lampshades have a trim on the ribs because of the shadow created by the seams of the cover, the lining and the rib. I'm gluing the trim on starting at the top and working my way down.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The last step is to glue on the Samuel & Sons trim. This covers all the sewing stitches. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's the end of my lesson.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This pair of lampshades takes me 4 full days or about 32 hours.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm pretty sure you're not going to be making a lampshade like this if you're doing one for the first time. This is like teaching you how to swim by tossing you in the deep end or teaching you to ski by sending you up the gondola to the top of the mountain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm happy to answer any questions, just let me know if you need help.
