Cane Wing Back Chair

What a great Craigslist find.  A modern interpretation of the traditional Wing back Chair. It's original color was light brown and had a pink upholstery with cat hair all over.  Once home, I cleaned it up, and went to work on it.  I took it apart, sanded it down, made a mess in my husbands garage, and gave it a new look.  I couldn't resist this brown mahogany finish.  For the upholstery, I chose to keep it simple to an off white linen fabric.  It's frame is sturdy and what a FABULOUS piece!  

USES IN THE HOME:

Like the earliest versions, the wing back chair is still often used in front of the fireplace in a living room or den.  A pair of these creates a cozy seating area with a small table between them. Wing back chairs are ideal in a master bedroom and also large guest rooms.

I have always been a fan of this style of chair.  All of my furniture is dark colored wood and I was nervous about going lighter.  In retrospect, I'm very happy I did.  The frame is finished in white which shows off the lines and angles.  The patterns are small, it's fun and neutral and it's gives it a little bit of a pop!  

 

Interior Ideas

I have a few potted trees and flowers throughout our home. These are my most recent projects.  I love the splash of color it provides to our dining and living room area.

I  was browsing through a very posh store in Melrose, CA and fell in love with a particular dining chair. The retail price was $1720.I just loved the pattern and color and absolutely wanted it in our home.  But NOT for that price.  Day before yesterday,  I stumbled into the exact pattern at a fabric store in the downtown Los Angeles area.   I purchased three yards of fabric for less than $50.  Installed within one hour.

My Love for Louis Vuitton

We recently celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary and this is what my groom gave to me!  I am a huge and loyal fan of Louis Vuitton and excited to add this to my collection!  Great for protecting and storing your precious time pieces especially during travel.   Fits three!

Interior Accessories

My nightstand was a gift from my son.  It's an interpretation of bombe chests first designed in 18th-century France.   I thought the perfect place for it was next to my bedside.  It's accessorized with a few items posted here.  My favorite find among these would be the glass jar and flowers.  Bundled mini white tulips placed in a glass jar.  I don't believe I spent more than $5.00 retail and I think it makes quite a statement!

Accent Chair

A modern accent chair to compliment your living room sofa or for extra sitting in the bedroom.  I purchased this velvet fabric and silver french nails and decided to use it for this piece.  To keep it simple, I only placed the nail heads on the back side of the chair.  Usually, I like to work with fabrics of color and patterns.  This is my attempt at working outside the box.  Take a look!
