- Hello Darlings! I meant to upload this video last week, but I ended up feeling overwhelmed with the amount I had to do for the bathroom reno! I made a 1940's pleated lampshade inspired by old photographs and a 1980's Laura Ashley decorating book! I hope you enjoy this laid back chatty/crafty video.
Be sure to let me know if you make your own vintage inspired lampshade too! Get ready as next weeks video will be a Christmassy one!!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx
P.s I feel like a mispronounced everyone name so I am so so sorry!!

I know you’re super busy, but I just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done. You may not know it, but I aspire to live 50’s, but currently don’t have enough money and watching all your tutorials, q and a’s, and day in the life’s have really made my year. Thank you so much.
Completely and totally agree!!!
You're in luck! Living like it's the fifties is all about thriftyness, reuse, and handmade stuff! Ask any grandma! I agree that her videos do make it easier to know what to do though 😁
You can buy light bulbs that are battery operated and it would allow you to put the lamp anywhere! What a great idea with the lap shade!! Thank you for your videos!!
Even if you uploaded once a month I’d still be happy to watch every video! Thank you for your sweet content ♥️
I love the bloopers😂you are just adorable! You did such a beautiful job on the lampshade🤩
Life is busy. So when you upload a video it makes that day extra special. I enjoy sewing, embroidery, and crocheting. ☺️
So excited we get one of your videos this weekend!
pls feel free to make more of these types of videos. they're so much fun to feel like we're just sitting together chatting 😊❤️
Beautiful work, Sage! I love how crafty you are. My grandmother used to be a seamstress and made wedding dresses for a living. I learned to sew while in theatre school and now I love to embroider and cross-stitch for fun. I'm so impressed with all of your projects, they inspire me to try more! :)
Renovations always take longer than expected ... I hope yours goes as smoothly as possible. Always a great day when there's a new Sage video! Much love from the US.
I love your video of being a house wife of the 50s for a week. I still get inspired by it. I have it saved in my favorites list. I started following your ideas for a list. My house is cleaner then it used to be. God bless you and James. Please keep your positive videos coming ♥️
Sea foam green, pink red, black and white were big colors in the 50's. As I'm sure you know. Your house is looking comfortable and gorgeous. Very nice!! 😊
Sage is your name after all! Very simple to re wire the lamp, I did one myself using a kit I bought at our large retail store, Walmart!
This is most likely illegal to do in Australia. We have very strict laws regarding diy electrical work. Being able to buy the kit doesn't mean you're licensed to do the task
@@JB-vd8bi what an odd law. When I researched it the most common answer had to do with changing light bulbs. I can’t imagine needing help with something like that. Although, the way things are made can vary greatly from place to place. I’ll describe this to you, just so it is clear that I did not do any “electrical” work on the lamp by replacing the wire. The wire and bulb holder in an American lamp comes completely encased in every lamp. There may be a screw at the bottom to loosen the wire and also will unscrew from the top. It just slides out as if it were no different than a rope, and you slide another(it is a completed piece that needs no extra work on it) through the hole in the lamp base and secure into place. I’m not actually qualified to do actual electrical work, like something with connecting/splicing of wires etc., like in a ceiling fan or stationary wall lamp, and would never try working on electricity itself in any way.
It's likely Australian home wiring is higher voltage than in the U.S., thus making a different kind of wiring necessary, with more safeguards. I've rewired lamps here in the U.S. with kits from Amazon, very easily, with no special training. Most American circuits are 120V and appliances are designed for that (with 220V circuits for some special appliances), but many other countries use a lot higher voltage for their circuits and all the appliances have to be able to withstand it.
@@JJoy-bk8yr It is interesting indeed, I wanted to be clear I wasn’t suggesting Sage break the law but that it is different here than there.
@@GenXLostInTx Yes, we wouldn't want the electricity police coming into her house to bust her over a lamp, lol 😂
The lamp stayed turned out cute and I can't wait to see the bathroom
I recently moved into my parent's home a year ago; it was my granny's home originally. The main house was built in the late 40s. Then, after my granny had more children and a storm damaged the roof, my grandfather built the upstairs. The addition was built in the 70s and has not been updated; I love it. I grew up in this house and spent a lot of time with my granny; she taught me to sew around 4. She was a fantastic seamstress and quilter, making me many quilts and clothes. I am now remodeling my room into the 1940s/1950s style. My bathroom is staying in its 1970s original style with some new additions, and my sewing room, which was my granny's, is being updated with a 1970s or 60s look. I want the upstairs to look like you are stepping into the past. I'm thinking about filming it all and posting it, I just have anxiety and don't know if anyone would even care to see it.
Your videos are a big help with inspiration and tutorials. UA-cam, in general, is a huge help.
What a cute idea! Thank you for sitting down and having a chat with us. Makes me feel less stressed with uni seeing you do it all with such style ❤
I know your probably busy but I would love to see you post more videos, it's just so comfy and relaxing to watch you, your amazing and so sweet!!
While I agree very much, I don't want her to feel stressed to push herself to create because some UA-camrs get burnout that way.
@@dragonflysky11 Totally agree.
You can buy bulbs that self illuminate and you can plug them into the lamp save rewiring bonus you can have a lamp with no wall socket xxx
So wonderful to see you pop up on my notifications!
Rewiring a lamp is SOOOOO easy! Way easier than redoing a lampshade! ❤️
Honestly I think Retro Reno, would be such a cool name for the renovation series
Any type of video you can do whenever you have time is perfect 🤩 ❤
Agreed!
That is a beautiful lamp! I remember my mom had a lamp in the living room with the exact same lampshade when I was growing up (I was born in 67)! I understand life is busy, I am just thankful for the videos you are able to put out. Your videos are brilliant! I think you did a good job! I love that color you chose.
Aww the lamp shade looks really cute!! Am looking forward to seeing how it looks once it's rewired and has a new bulb. I also can't wait to see the bathroom once it's finished ♥
So creative! 🛋️ Love it! Can't wait to see your bathroom renovation! (And keeping fingers crossed for Christmas videos!!🤞🎄🥰 They're always so lovely)
I love how you show color though, most UA-camrs don’t use color and it’s all natural so I’m glad you have pops of color and have the green in ya 💚 always get excited when I see a notification from you 😊 can’t wait to see what the bathroom looks like
We're twinning today, I'm sitting here with my brush-out and black turtleneck too! 👯♀️
Che bella sorpresa rivederti!! Sei così bella e il tuo modo di proporti è così dolce e rilassante. La tua "nuova" lampada è molto carina. Sei così brava in tutto ciò che fai 😍😘😘
Boom first comment love you sage ❤❤❤
We enjoy them all the more for their scarcity. Don’t feel pressured. Your a lovely gem that when I see arrive I am delighted. God bless and have a wonderful Christmas. Jam, then cream.
We are so proud of you, keep it up and we love your videos ❤️❤️
Merry Christmas ⛄🌲
Love your videos! So peaceful and wholsome
Such a cozy video and a sweet lampshade. Thank you for all you do, Sage. ❤️
your channel is just therapeutic to me.. ❤ I truly love every single video. You’ve got a positive attitude which I really need to see more in my life so I’m learning from you 🥰
Thank you for UPLOADING😮
I am so smitten with you Sage! Absolutely anything you have time to share wonderful!
Your videos are just so endearing! I will look forward to the bathroom reno. Just be careful with James away Sage. We all love you too much to see you accidentally get hurt...🌹💖
Great video as I am making some lamp shades for my vintage Coleman lamps. We are so used to perfection but I prefer hand made, repurposed and a little rustic wear and tear that adds to the charm. I love the 1910-1940s and have a full den and kitchen setup.
Would love to see more thrifting and repurposing videos as well! I also love to cook and collect old cookbooks and do some sewing on an electric and a 1911 hand crank Singer.
Keep up the great videos and best of luck in Nursing! I am a first responder and it’s stressful but very rewarding work.
The 1980’s wedding dress puffy sleeves were thanks to Princess Diana and the Emmanuel’s design. My 👰🏼♀️ wedding dress was just like that in 1994 and it’s because I love Princess Diana 💜. I love all of your videos and appreciate all of your designs!
Thank you so much for your videos! Even though you’re incredibly busy, your taking the time to make videos means so much! Your lampshade is just beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your family & friends! 😊
Not gonna lie...I probably need a how not to kill everything you touch gardening series...
I find your comment hilarious because I am so bad at gardening. I aspire to be better at it.
My mom was one who took on reupholstering a chair. She wrote down every step she did as she took the chair apart, then followed the steps backwards to put it back together.
Nursing is a career that as long as you want to work , you can, and it is a flexible enough career, that you can still have a family if you want to I just retired from nursing after 40 years😃
Cannot wait to see the renovations!! It will be worth it in the end...
“Apparently I have a thing for green” - me too!!! About a year ago, I realized that I had a thing for green! Green everywhere in my house and I have no recollection of seeking out the color!
Greetings from the U. S.A. ...I had to smile and chuckle to myself about " the Green " ... 🙂😊.... I do like the colour green, I noticed for the past 12 years, I've used it more and more ....lol. I even purchased a drop down secretary desk , off Marketplace, and it's a sort of shade of " not bright " apple Green shade , with gold painted trim. I have no intention of changing the color, lol, because I actually have throw pillows in almost the same shade.
I enjoy your showing us your projects, and no one is really concerned about the ' consistency ", Miss Sage ! I love seeing that you posted something, whenever you have time to do so.
By the way, your hair looks fabulous the way it's styled here. A lot of women, in the 1950's actually wore stylish trousers and a lovely top or sweater ,and a stylish loafer shoe, or something similar.
So whatever you're wearing ' on the daily " still offers you that " look ".
:) ( if you take a look at Fashions of Grace Kelly when she wore trousers , as well as stylish women of that time, you'll see how fashionable and put together they were even though they were wearing trousers.)
Stay Blessed, you and James and looking forward to the next Video ,whenever that may be ! 🙂😊🙏🏻☕️
“Decorating through the Decades”
I’m a nurse also. I love retro things. I’ve been looking at doing lamp shades too.
A good way to learn sewing now a day is to watch beginner sewing UA-cam channels.
I agree that the hippie age was horrible clothes, manners, sprach etc.
Hi ladies. Another nurse here - well - retired nurse. I worked full time for 38 years - and finally I was just too worn out to go on. I worked in ICU in a big city hospital, so it was always something interesting coming thru the door.
I have to agree - even though I was a hippie at the time - the "fashions" of the 70's were just awful. It seems all I ever wore were bib overalls with a tube top under it in the summer and a flannel shirt in the winter.
Home baked goods and things you make are far more special. It's the time and love put into them!!
I recovered two bedside lampshades by just making a rolled hem on both sides of a strip of fabric and gathering it on two pieces of twine. They've been there for decades, and every year or so I just untie them and toss them in the wash.
Omg, this is such a cozy video. You inspire me to start learning how to bake and make crafts to give them as gifts. 😍
Such a lovely lampshade! I love your vintage inspired DIYs so so much! Thanks for sharing them!
I see your style as late 40s early 50s, love it.
My granddaughter is a Sage - her room is done. In cream and sage motifs
So happy to see another video from you!!!
Re-covering a lampshade, what a great idea! The pleats soften the shade, and it works next to your chair. Something tells me I will soon be looking for a sad lampshade and some gorgeous fabric. Please don't stress yourself over a video; there will be time later, which will be even more special and well worth the wait!
Have a wonderful weekend,
xoxo's Sandie😊
Sage loves sage green! Super cute video, I have a lamp that needs recovered and this has definitely given my the inspo to do it!
I love the time you put into your videos for us, The lamp is just beautiful! I have a suggestion for a name "Simple Touches " Have a lovely day !
Love your videos and look forward to seeing them. Your hair is cute. The table. Cloth so darling. There is a woman on utube she creates Victorian lamp shades. From the wire form she creates a true piece of art. Hand stitched. Good luck on your bathroom renovations. Always trying situation.
I think it's great you are almost done with nursing school!! It's not easy, I know that, but it will be worth it!!
So cute ❤ love all of your videos!
Love the lampshade!!!
Green is very much a spa, calming color
I love your videos 🙂 shades of green are great 4 decorating with, they go with nearly everything
Lampshade looks great ! Always love seeing your videos…..🙏🏼❤️
Always Crafty. Eh from Ontario. 🇨🇦 Actually is a nice vintage colour ,I have a area rug .Thought of replacing but like the colour etc.Like the sketch in background often look at vintage art work at Thrift stores.
What a lovely thing. Good luck with your placements!
Lovely video and lamp shade Sage! 🥰 I would also love a sewing lesson/tutorial for beginners! 😊
I enjoy your vidoes a lot ! thank you for making them !!!
I really loved this video! It felt like a good sit down with a friend for a catch up 😘
My dad is renovating his house right now too so I get how busy u r 💖
Just think of it this way your name is Sage and that fabric for the lamp shade looks close to that color 😍
You are amazing! I’m thrilled you can still find time for videos!! Congratulations on your next step in nursing. Have a happy holiday ❤️💚❤️💚
So talented! You're probably thinking "any moron can do this". I'm definitely not that moron, LOL! I wish I was talented in this way. It looks beautiful!🥰
Thank you for your videos they are so enjoyable and relaxing to watch! Wonderful job on the lamp shade…I love that color green it’s very calming ❤️
I knitted my mum a snood for Christmas and i hope she'll like it.
Aw that’s a lovely gift! 💞
Very beautiful . Very good work .
I enjoy your videos so much. I really hope you will continue with them after starting your nursing career
I hope you will be doing a “vintage Christmas Day” type video - not just decorating but a day in the life type thing! ❤️
Definitely cream first with jam on top!😂
I love making things for Christmas too! Last year I made little fabric and felt bird ornaments. And every year I make a vanilla bark coated chex mix.
Love your outtakes at the end 😂
I always have put up Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving. Christmas comes around so fast.
Such a sweet video! Love how creative you are.
Happy Thanksgiving 😊. Hope you're going to have a great day filled with family and friends ❤😊. Love your channel and everything you do!!!
That's really lovely you and your husband have been together so long, me and my husband met at 12, were each other's "first middle school sweethearts" then officially started dating at age 15. We got married at age 20, and now at 37 years old we have 6 children. Very much a romantic story ❤️
Great job, Sage! I love the colour, and pleats.
Green is a good choice! I'm now eyeing up the decidedly boring lampshade beside me.
P.S. For scones (at least in England) - cream first is the Devon way and is correct. Jam first is the Cornish way and is wrong. In my opinion...
Hello from England!! Beautiful lampshade cover. I'm using the idea. Thank you.
You can put a battery operated smart lightbulb in your lamp and not need to worry about a plug at all 👍🏽
I love it Sage!
I love your videos. You are doing great. I appreciate your time and effort! ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰💕
@@SageLilleyman you’re welcome! ❤️
Your such abusy woman and I for one always appreciate the work u put into your videos and if I need to watch something of yours when your not posting I go back and rewatch my favourite videos of yours
Ohh maybe you could call it turning back time renovations series and if you do a gardening series u could call it miss greenthumb series haha
Have a fantastic day and in case u don't get a chance to post again before chrissie merry Christmas in advance 😊
Hey, what a neat video! If you have in Australia the new self charging light bulbs you can use them if you can't rewire the lamp!!
Aww! Another Friends' soul-mate!🥰 How're You doing?😉
Your lamp turned out so cute! :)
Your lamp looks wonderful, Sage! I'm a big fan of green like you, too! Love & hugs from Arkansas ♥️
I wish i could live in that era. Love it. Hi from Canada
you are very inspiring.... thanks for sharing
Retro Home Renno's with the Lilleymans :)
This is perfect! I have several old lamps that need new lampshades. The shade frames are still good, but the coverings are destroyed. Thank you for the how-to!
