Footstool & Lamp
Jan 6, 2010
Help me out here. What is the name of this pink fabric? You know, the stuff that starchy prom dresses were made from in the 80's? With pink puff-ball sleeves and crinkly material? That's what this stool was wearing. Not so pretty in pink. Time for a change.
Marianne from Noces de Coton decided it needed a paint job and a welcome into the current decade with some modern but classic fabric. Much better.
Also, check out her lamp redo HERE. It too was rocking a dated glazed look, but now is light and happy! Thanks Marianne!

I think you're thinking of taffeta...it could be that, but it looks more like a flame stitch chintz fabric to me. Love your blog, btw. I look forward to sending you some of my b4 and aftr's sometime soon.
Moire taffeta.
Moiree is so ug! I used to work at a fabric store and people would actually buy this stuff!
Definitely moiree. I remember when they had a moiree wall paper which was VERY popular. It'll be back!
I love your blog, I've been checkin it daily! I love this after, I'm totally inspired! =]
I remember moire taffeta was all the rage in decor and bridesmaids dresses too. I'm over it now but I remember thinking I had to have a round table covered in it.
Your foot stool looks so much better now and the lamp is fabulous.

Moire!! I loooooved my burgundy moire homecoming dress (circa 1991).
That lamp is lovely.
