For the Love of {Chair} Fabric and Curves.

There are two chairs that I am currently obsessed with. One being a Pinterest find, the other being a Goodwill find. Can you guess which is which? {Not that the huge 'Buy Me!' tag doesn't give it away} I have some alterations I need to make to the Goodwill find, including doing something with the legs that are black and somewhat of an eye sore. But OH. MY. GOODNESS. The seat shape is just to die for. It is real wood. The print is ever so vintage. And the black painted detail is just the cherry on top. The details of the Pinterest find are equally if not more appealing (that plaid, the leather piping, those curves!), but I would be too lucky of a girl if I owned both. Question posed by my husband, "Where are you going to put these chairs?" First, did I mention the Goodwill find came with a twin! Yes, great things do come in twos. Second, in response to his question, "Who knows yet, but I will make it work!" Wouldn't you for two beauties like that for $12 each? Any thoughts on what year the Goodwill find may be from, or ideas for leg transformation? Happy Friday!

This week I have spent more hours in my covers and sheets, sprawled out on the couch, and buried in pillows and kleenex than I have in ten years. You can read more about that HERE. It is only suiting that my wanderings on Pinterest lately have been heavily weighted in browsing photographs of cozy spaces. In my last post on color translation HERE, I mentioned that I often find myself translating home decor items, photographs, and well loved outfits into home design color palettes and aesthetic. Although the feel of Pink, Pattern and Cheery is far from Brown, Plaid, and Equestrian {and visa versa}, both design aesthetics in this collection derive from the utmost in comfy, cozy, curl up with a good book, take a cat nap, and rest your soul necessities. These beautiful spaces could have also been inspired & translated from these vintage {meets modern} home decor and style items. One thing is for certain,  with a cup of tea and book in hand, all of these rooms fit well with the wise words of C.S. Lewis "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
