Last week I talked about my latest Kijiji score (a fabulous 1970's chrome dining set) and soon I'll be on the hunt for a few yards of golden/saffron/mustard yellow velvet to recover the chair seats & backs. I'm thinking this is just about the perfect shade:

There is one more project in the works too. A few weeks ago I found this pair of stools for the breakfast bar at Around the Block consignment shop:
^^They're interesting...right? I've been looking for a pair of stools for quite some time, with a strict criteria - the "right pair" needed to have backs for good posture & comfort, they needed to be counter height (not bar height) and they needed to be in my (low) price range. Et Voila! These babies met the criteria, although I know they'll require a little nip & tuck to update them.
I'm considering a fresh coat of white paint paired with this Dwell Studio 'Ming Dragon' fabric from Tonic Living:
Only three projects on the go right now!! And just when I thought I was getting close to the finish line.
Is it ever really done?
You are an inspiration and a dynamo. I feel quite lazy with all my neglected projects. Isn't it wonderful when you make a furniture find? Looking forward to the re-dos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret!! It's so true - a great (and inexpensive) find is always cause for celebration :)
DeleteI LOVE what you did with your walls and your other projects look fantastic. Loving your fabric choices, Pam! I can't wait to see how it all comes together :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy!! I'm excited to see how it all turns out as well ;) I hope it's as good IRL as I imagine it.
DeleteThe living room wall looks amazing, did you do it yourself? The stools are fab & in the Ming Dragon fabric I think they will be stunners for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Painting:)
Thanks, Hollie!! I did do it all myself, which is why it's a bit of a long process, but I'm proud of what I've been able to do. Not sure if I'll get around to painting this weekend - feeling lazy :(
