I have always had a passion for design and beautiful fabrics. When my daughter was born I had hung a pair of curtains in her bedroom and couldn't find any coordinating lampshades so I decided to make one. I found lampshade making quite addictive so I made several more to replace the boring ones in our house, and so my new business venture began.
​
I grew up on the West Coast of Scotland and moved to the United States in 2010. 
My inspiration comes from the beautiful surroundings of Scotland and where I now live with my husband and two girls. You will see my love of the countryside and seaside reflected in the majority of my lampshades. The lampshades are all handmade by me in my studio in Southern Maine.

I currently specialize in fabrics from British Designers; Peony & Sage, Olive & Daisy and Meg Morton. Fabrics that are shown on my Etsy Store are what i have in stock. If you see a fabric you like on any of the above websites please let me know and i'll happily order the fabric and make it into lampshades for you (no minimum order required). Fabric is designed and printed in the UK, all fabric is printed to order and can take between 3 to 4 weeks for me to receive. I then will endeavor to get the lampshade/s out to you within the week of me receiving the fabric from the designer. I'll keep you up to date with the process of your order the whole way.

Alice Kate by Design is my dream as I can combine my love of fabrics with making homes look beautiful.
