As we age we want to have a well decorated tiki home but not a huge collection. It's been fun so far with two tiki garage sales. Now in each room we place what we may keep and make it the best it can be. Dan had a Maori lamp with a shade that's been navy blue and white. I hated it. So today I took it without asking, I'm so bad and began to paint it with a red brown acrylic paint. Before it could dry I used a wet paper towel to rub it into the fabric. Once it dried I put it back on the lamp. Here it is lit and then unlit. Now I'm happy and Dan was happy when I showed it to him. So much better. We are making our dining room a Maori room. Cheers, Wendy
