Think the colour of the lampshade is a bit off-putting. Reckon completely covering it with the scraps would make it look more finished. Everything else was perfect :D You inspire me so much
Love love love the pillow! Came her from Mr. Carrington via Dainty. This was the first video that came up. I loved it... And also the color pink. I immediately subscribed! Can't wait to watch more videos! Love, From Florida
Mr Carrington sent me.. :). I wanted to say that I like the backside of your splatter pot best. I think you should splatter the front more as well. Lastly I think you should pull the stuff off that lamp shade and use the rest of that fringy vest to make the lamp shade fringy as well. It would tie into your wall hanging. Love everything you do :)
Mr.Carrington challenge video sent me over to your channel. Love the cushion one the best. Lamp shade I'm going to try also.. think I will cover whole shade though. Tfs.
Hermione are you kidding me your lamp shade is en pointe mixed media I love it! The only thing to my eye that may look slightly off is the original fabric/cover/colour....but what you applied saved it x Everything else you created is amazing too 😊 💯💯
The lamp shade was gorgeous. This isn’t a challenge but I have been hoping that you would maybe do a video where you tell us more about yourself and your life because we don’t really know much about you. Btw you are so talented!!!
I found that exact same shaggy vest yesterday at a yard sale. Bought it for a dollar. I'm going to make the wall hanging. I thought of you when I saw the vest but had no idea that it was the exact same vest until I looked again at your video. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs...
The wall hanging piece is such a good idea! And for only $2, that is so great :) If you were to find something like that at urban outfitters here in canada or the US it would be like $60 hahah
LOVED the pot. I used same colors and added the thinnest strip of copper and pink above Gray color (mixed with sand as you suggested) and it looks FAB!! Great video
I loved the lampshade. I think the upgrade gave it a sort of bohemian vibe, but try covering it entirely with different textured fabric.. But nevertheless.. I still love the lampshade.
I'm obsessed with lamps and what you have created looks cute, maybe use larger pieces of scrap. The cushion is adorable, want to try this myself. Your so creative, and have such great ideas.
You are SO talented! I, for one, would and could never think of things that were so original to create, and two, never make them look even close to as good as yours!
Continue 2-3 textures/colors over more of the shade and I think it would look better, I love the wall hanging and pillow! You are very creative and strong in your risk taking with techniques and design! Love your color choices as well!
I was ten seconds into the video and was obsessed. The thrift flips I saw were soooo gorgeous. I love your videos as always, but this one blew me away more than ever! Thank you👏💖💕💗
I love everything! I think I might try the pillow cover. I have some Christmas pillows that I was thinking about making covers for so I can use it all year round. You are so creative.
The lampshade looks fun it gives off more of a summer and spring vibe also try adding something consistent because with so many inconsistent fabrics it needs something to tie it all together maybe tassels all around the bottom or something Ps I love your channels uniqueness
The idea you had with the tooth brush splatter on the planter gave me an idea to do a DIY on a canvas. As far as the lamp shade goes, its how it makes YOU feel that matters. I think you should have made it in layers all the way around (just my idea). The woolie vest looks so SONNY & Cher type.
I love that wall hanging pease ❤ ! I want one too! That lampshade depends witch side you are looking it from and I would but some clue to that one strip in down the lamp. It looked little bit loose. Can wait to see more of your renovation! 🙂
I always love your DIY's my dear. Except with the lamp shade. I guess you could say, not a fan. BUT the pillow cover OMG that was fantastic. Your back ground looks fun. I know you are happy that you are in your new home. I can hardly wait to see all the renovations of your new place. Tell Ben we said hi from the states. (Maggie)
I love the pot maybe a pastel pink at the bottom would have looked brighter but i personally love the grey :) I think the first DIY could have looked cool as a cute rug or pillow :)
i love your crafts and luminous personnality. What a great challenge! I love love LOOOOOOOVE the cushion. I can't say if the lamp shade is a win or a fail since I didn't like the inspiration from the start but i think yours is cute! Let's say it's a "WAIL". Kisses from Canada xx
Everything looked professionally made except the shade so I have to agree with you on that one. However, I was not thrilled with the reference shades either. Loved your video.
Def. anthropology worthy, you might want to paint the bottom of the pot a similar but different green to compliment your other flower pot and to add contrast to the naturally reddish tone of the unpainted part of the pot.👍
I am LOVING your channel, just uploaded an Ikea hacks video myself and your channel came up as recommended and I am so pleased! Off to catch up on your videos now! xx
I love everything you do, and I enjoy thrift and diy the most, especially in combination. About your doubts with the lamp: it looks gorgeous, but I think what irritates you is that the structure / texture of the underground is to fine. So the opposite to the patches is to strong. Perhaps closing the gaps or beginning anew with changing the underground first might help. I wish you all the best with your work for the house.
Your lamp shade was way cuter than the ones you showed. I love the pillow so y may try to recreate that! The art piece was really a good idea too! This challenge was wonderful Hermione! You did an amazing job ❤❤❤
i'm early 😂 this is one of the best video ever on your channel i cannot believe you only spent £6 i love your channel and i think your amazing i also love your office background so far ps: your really humble, sweet and inspirational keep up the good work x
Loved the wall hanging loved the cushion would like the lampshade if you covered it entirely as is it just looked unfinished. Enjoyed your video thank you I came over for a visit from Mr Carringtons channel
I love the combination of scrap fabrics u used on the lamp shade!! maybe using some bigger chunks would hav helped? like having variation in texture AND SIZE? maybe?? I hope?.. and the cushion... omg that tassel is BOMB and looks so doable.. even my crappy hands could (probably) so it!!!!!
Seven petals held by my heart I agree! I’d pull off what you have and just re-arrange them on the shade! Maybe practice with the pieces putting them in different positions to find what you like the best then glue it on. Don’t forget to take a picture for reference!
Loved all of these projects. About the lamp I think you just need some bigger pieces of fabric wrapping around more of the shade. Then it would be so cute with more of the Tassel as well.
Love the wall hanging and I think the colors of the pot are just fine. No, I don't think the lampshade works unfortunately. I was interested as Zi just bought a shade which is the shape I was searching for but want to cover it with???? Thanks for sharing!
I would fill up the whole lampshade with the scraps. I feel like that would make it look more professional since the colourscheme is already very neat😊
Love everything, especially the wall hanging...so simple yet awesome! But that lampshade is...well, not good...lol. BUT, I do like the idea of the different textures, & the materials you used work well with the lamp. The only thing I would have done is wrap the strips of different materials all the way around the lampshade, rather than in patches. Each layer being different, with the fringe one a few layers up, not on the bottom. That would look amazing! Otherwise everything is lovely! New subscriber here, & am loving your channel!
I LOVEEE your DIYs!! Seriously the best DIY channel ever! 😍💗 love everything!! I think the lampshade is cute but I think maybe it needs something on the ends of the thicker fabrics to help it blend into the shade better?!
with the lampshade I would have cut strips of each fabric scrap to the same width and glued them all the way round it. strips could be either vertical or horizontal making sure each strip was contrasting with its neighbours.
I think if add a few more fabric pieces to the lampshade (to fill in the gaps) it would look better. Hope you'll make more challenges like this one! 🎨✂️
Regarding the lamp shade: the idea was nice, you did well enough with the materials at hand, but I think the concept may have been a bit hard to execute because of the different textures. It has Anthropologie vibes for sure, but up close it looks a little jumbled. I don't doubt that if you decide to make another one, it'll come out excellent. Maybe consider that one as practice. Either way, as always, awesome content and ideas, Hermione. Thank you!👍👍
I think that you maybe can try the $0 diy challenge next? For the lampshade, maybe have more variation in sizes and colours? Feels like the colours were mostly either white or gray
I like the lampshade! Also, I’ve been looking for a new cushion cover and have some leftover wool from a wall hanging I made inspired by one of your videos so will be definitely grabbing my glue gun and making that cushion
try covering any remaining actual lamp parts with plain white fabric! or even just paint it white. i think there's just too much going on, doesn't seem cohesive. but with a white background all the scraps will seem more connected and not so random :)
Currently binge watching all of your DIYs. Couldn't help thinking that you could have just threaded the dowel through the vest as it had little squares, and not bother with glue at all; plus, it would have made more of a feature of the wood. Great idea, though!

I'm definitely gonna try tassels on a cushion. It looks so cool.

Mr.Carrington challenge video sent me over to your channel. Love the cushion one the best. Lamp shade I'm going to try also.. think I will cover whole shade though. Tfs.
The lamp shape is a win!!!!! I really loved all of the DIYs!!!!💕
The lamp shade looks soo thrifty and unique! So it’s really pretty! I’ll definitely try this ❤️
I like the lamp shade. I think if you had just used the fringe and that sparkly strip that it would have looked more cohesive.
Hermione are you kidding me your lamp shade is en pointe mixed media I love it! The only thing to my eye that may look slightly off is the original fabric/cover/colour....but what you applied saved it x
Everything else you created is amazing too 😊 💯💯

Love the fact that you didnt pretend you love everything you created, keep it real

Lamp shade, not my cuppa tea no. Love the rest, fab xxx
The lamp shade is so fun! I think maybe covering the entire shade will make it look more finished? Or doing bigger pieces of scraps maybe.
The pink cushion cover -- LOVE!! Not so much the shade LOL!!! TFS
Great blog Mr Carrington mentioned your name on his blog I was watching
Great ideas! I think I would just cover up more of the lampshade and it would be great. The idea is fabulous!!!
Love all your finds from the thrift shop. All your DIYs are inspiring. Fav...the wall hanging and the pillow
I love the idea of sourcing materials from second hand shops. I almost feel guilty when I buy brand new materials since it's a lot less eco-friendly.
Love these DIYs! My favorite is definitely the plant pot. The coloring and design of it just looks so cool to me.
You are SO talented! I, for one, would and could never think of things that were so original to create, and two, never make them look even close to as good as yours!
Continue 2-3 textures/colors over more of the shade and I think it would look better, I love the wall hanging and pillow! You are very creative and strong in your risk taking with techniques and design! Love your color choices as well!
I love how these turned out! The lampshade has a good foundation but I think you should fill in the other sections, it’d look more complete that way.
I was ten seconds into the video and was obsessed. The thrift flips I saw were soooo gorgeous. I love your videos as always, but this one blew me away more than ever! Thank you👏💖💕💗
I love everything! I think I might try the pillow cover. I have some Christmas pillows that I was thinking about making covers for so I can use it all year round. You are so creative.

Ps I love your channels uniqueness
The vest was a crazy good find! It also could of been used as a pillow front using other fabric for the pillow back.
It just doesn't look finished to me.
Love the things you do.
Have a blessed day. 🌸
Thanks for the inspiration
I love how you make things people can and want to ACTUALLY create. Keep up the good work sis!
Looking forward to seeing more projects in your new place!
The lamp shade is my favorite!!

The pot doesn't clash at all! It looks great!!!
Love what you did with the vest!
I love that wall hanging pease ❤ ! I want one too! That lampshade depends witch side you are looking it from and I would but some clue to that one strip in down the lamp. It looked little bit loose. Can wait to see more of your renovation! 🙂
I mean piece of course 😂 I am finish native.
Cute pillow idea, nice for a teen girls bedroom! I think I might try that!
I think your thrift diys are my favorites! You are so creative!
Mr. Carrington sent me. Your wall hanging is pretty! That and your pot are wins. Ummm...Maybe your lamp shade would be good for a future DIY. LOL
Everything is beautiful and what great ideas.
Love the wall hanging. Not wild about the lampshade. Love your videos.
I always love your DIY's my dear. Except with the lamp shade. I guess you could say, not a fan. BUT the pillow cover OMG that was fantastic. Your back ground looks fun.

Fun and creative, I love your challenges! Loved everything...but....the lampshade hee hee!
really love the pink pillow and the pot.
I love the pot maybe a pastel pink at the bottom would have looked brighter but i personally love the grey :) I think the first DIY could have looked cool as a cute rug or pillow :)
Your like my 'go to' channel atm, really loving your style THANKS : )
Gorgeous! Regarding the lampshade- I think it would look better with more glued to it
i love your crafts and luminous personnality.
What a great challenge!
I love love LOOOOOOOVE the cushion.
I can't say if the lamp shade is a win or a fail since I didn't like the inspiration from the start but i think yours is cute!
Let's say it's a "WAIL".
Kisses from Canada xx
Everything looked professionally made except the shade so I have to agree with you on that one. However, I was not thrilled with the reference shades either. Loved your video.
FYI. Mr Carrington gave you a shout out.! :)

The cuscion cover it's amazing!
I love your diys and how you can make it for so cheap
Fill in the gaps where the lamp shade shows through, with more fabrics! I think that will help!
Your lamp shade was way cuter than the ones you showed. I love the pillow so y may try to recreate that! The art piece was really a good idea too! This challenge was wonderful Hermione! You did an amazing job ❤❤❤

Loved the wall hanging loved the cushion would like the lampshade if you covered it entirely as is it just looked unfinished. Enjoyed your video thank you I came over for a visit from Mr Carringtons channel
Would you be interested in doing a video briefly explaining how you edit videos and make your logos/transition images? Love the style of your videos!
I love the combination of scrap fabrics u used on the lamp shade!! maybe using some bigger chunks would hav helped? like having variation in texture AND SIZE? maybe?? I hope?..
and the cushion... omg that tassel is BOMB and looks so doable.. even my crappy hands could (probably) so it!!!!!

Agreed! And I think maybe I would cover the whole lampshade, not leave parts of the original shade visible.
Loved all of these projects. About the lamp I think you just need some bigger pieces of fabric wrapping around more of the shade. Then it would be so cute with more of the Tassel as well.
I have that same turntable, so cute!
I think you should completely cover the lampshade as you started but cover it all the way. I also liked the planter side with the heavier splatter.
Love the wall hanging and I think the colors of the pot are just fine. No, I don't think the lampshade works unfortunately. I was interested as Zi just bought a shade which is the shape I was searching for but want to cover it with???? Thanks for sharing!

I was in the middle of watching another video but hermione is more important. ❤️
... yeah, I tend to do that too :D But sometimes I also keep her to be the last one before going to bed. You know, the save the best for last.
Great diy pieces, they look great well done
I'm not quite sure about the lamp shade. The other projects were cool. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Love the wall hanging and the pot. I think the lampshade would work if you kept going and covered the whole thing. It looks part finished to me. 👍
Hi , i love your videos ! Can i please ask when you are going to do updates on the house ?
The lamp shade is a no go!
I LOVEEE your DIYs!! Seriously the best DIY channel ever! 😍💗 love everything!! I think the lampshade is cute but I think maybe it needs something on the ends of the thicker fabrics to help it blend into the shade better?!
LOVED the lampshade!!
first visit for me and great inspiration EXCEPT the lamp shade
You have me all inspired, great crafting! (Slight shame about the lamp shade, good textures on there though :)
👏🏽 one room done a few more to go. Thank you for sharing ❤
with the lampshade I would have cut strips of each fabric scrap to the same width and glued them all the way round it. strips could be either vertical or horizontal making sure each strip was contrasting with its neighbours.

Mr Carrington sent us. Love the cushion, wall hanging and the plant pot. Not keen on the lampshade but could just be personal taste.
