If you've been following along for the last few days, then you know that I have been reading all of my decorating books and trying the pay close attention to all the details.
I see so many wonderfully trimmed shades, or they use tassels on the sides of the lamps or the shades. Now I always buy tassels at Ross when I see one in a color that might work in my house. They are usually around $2, and I use them everywhere, except on the lampshades. Doesn't this make a huge difference on a plain shade. I love the look.
I tiny detail, but it does make a difference.
Do you really study the details? I know most of you do because your rooms always look so beautiful. Now I am off the look at more details. I will show you the vignette on this table for TTT. It is my 3rd in the series of Designer Kopy Kat.

You are right - what a change when you added the tassel. Makes the entire vignette pop.
Wow, that does make a big difference Marty. I'm sitting here looking at a shade that can benefit from this little bling. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! It makes all the difference to a plain shade - what a great idea!

Little things often add much! I do like the tassel.
Great little addition. I just bought a random tassel, too, thinking the same thing. Mine is still in the bag though. :)
Marty this is the perfect example of what we were talking abiout earlier, when we were talking abiout blogging. Its the perfect little post.
Yes, I love tassels. Its like its a whole new shade. Love the lamp.
Marty I have tassels on all my lamps! But I have my hanging on the thingie you turn the light on. I will move mine and hang it like you did. I hope you don't mind if I copy.
I learned to look at little details by blogging also. On my lamps I hang tassels and keys on ribbons. I've also seen crosses before. They are all pretty and add perfect little touches.
I go a little tassel happy at my house, Marty! I think I have tassels in every room! Some hang off chairs, some off lamps, and some off knobs. I just love 'em!
cute! sure does make a difference!

Adding the tassel really does change the look. Very classy!
Marty,
I adore the tassels...I have them,too. I think I first saw the idea when visiting Nell Hill's Summer Open House in Atchinson a few years ago! That's what's so~o~o wonderful about the Land of Blog...sharing!
Fondly,
Pat
It is the little things....your lamp looks designer now, with the tassel...
I love tassels too and use them all over. I have wrapped them around the base of a lamp too...so the tassel hangs down the column of the lamp. Yours is wonderful. Happy Sunday.
Good idea! Thanks, Marty! I have a few tassles that are definitely going to changelocations pretty soon...:)
A great little addition, Marty, I love tassels, I have them in furniture knobs, I like this idea. Thank you. Love, FABBY
I love the accent. I have always loved tassels. In my bedroom we have lace curtains with tassels, tassel metal tie backs and of course tassels on my vanity pulls!
Perfect!! Thank you...the lamp in my living room is boring...this will definitely be an improvement!!!
It IS the little things, isn't it?? I have been gone and haven't seen your posts lately, but I know what you mean. I buy all these decorating books and there they sit. I'm sure I could pick up quite a few new ideas if I would sit long enough to read them. Thanks for the inspiration!

That's a great tassel and the perfect color and touch for your lamp. Your Ross must be much nicer than the one near here.
I wanted to tell you I tried the stain on my sheep and "she" looks much better with your stain technique than the bright white. I'll do a post with her sometime. Thanks so much for the great tip.
Hugs,

Hi Marty! That is a great look. It softens the whole lamp...once you see the tassel, the lamp almost looks nacked in the picture without it! Linda
So pretty! I love buying tassels and using them thru out my house. The tassel certainly adds more detail to the lamp. Love it.
Blessings,
Sandra
What a great change for so little money. I agree...the details make all the difference. Thanks for reminding us...

Marty, thanks for the hint to check out Ross. I don''t ever check there but now I will.
I agree and I have tassels on all my lamps.
Perfect lampshade treatment. I'll have to try it out.
Very pretty. Hugs!
Isn't it amazing how one tiny little thing can make such an impact! I love tassels too, and love this one on your Roo lamp! XO, Pinky
Wow, that made a big difference with the lamp. I'm going to have to try that one.
