I needed to find a new chair for my family room. Something that would go with my brown leather couches and something that would hide kid and pet messes.
I found this chair at Cost Plus World Market.
{sorry not the greatest picture}
I love the shape and the tufting and how it is small enough not to over-power my room.
Since my home is very open {one room right off another room} I needed to have the living room and family room in the same color story.
Even though I love the polka dot pillows, they were not working in my new color palette of greys, greens, blues and soft yellows.
I moved them to the kids playroom and they are more fitting there.
I bought a curtain panel from Cost Plus that matched the chair and made some pillows for both my family room and living room.
Softer, calmer. I am happy with the new color palette.
Remember this library table I bought?
I sanded the top, stained it, and sealed it.
The base got a coat of Benjamin Moore, Simply White, satin {in Aura}. Have I told you how much I love Aura paint? It is worth the $60 a gallon it costs. It goes on sooo smoothly, dries quickly, and I need less coats of paint to finish a piece. With one gallon I can probably use it on 4-6 different projects so it is worth the $60.
I love it!!! :) You were right...painted is what it needed! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing how often and successfully you reinvent your living areas. I did love the polka dots in the living room though.
ReplyDeletethat fabric is gorgeous!!! i love the colors and pattern and the brighter green in it keeps that whimsical feel that the dots had.
ReplyDeleteso fun to see the evolution of a room. i think BOTH pillow prints are nice, but sometimes you've just gotta go with your gut.
ReplyDeletethat chair is SO lovely! and the table looks quite charming.
you've got a great eye!!
I love the new chair and I think the fabric looks great, the gray is very sophisticated.
