The Empmirror's New Clothes

What's hotter than this vintage mirrored

bench I bought on 1stdibs for my client?

This bench dressed in Clarence House's Castello

Aragonese's flame stitch velvet.

That's what.

Progress

A project that I have been working on for quite awhile now is starting to really come together. The living room was very colorful but is now completely toned down with neutral fabrics. It's all about the texture here. Client's sofa was reupholstered in Great Plains' Thick as Thieves in Antelope. Sofa pillows in Rogers and Goffigon's Montacute and Lee Jofa's Bishop Court in Coral. Garden stool from Jerry Lamb in Portland.

A pair of vintage Widdicomb chairs from 1stdibs are on their way to fill out this room.


Curtains in Raoul Textiles' Lena in Auburn and pillow in Clarence House's Sommerset in Taupe. Kravet Chairs in Zimmer + Rohde's Sydney.


Antique Chinese cabinet from Eron Johnson antiques. Pickle pots from Circa Trade. Stools from McGuire.



The dining room sports gorgeous curtains in Galbraith and Paul's Ivy Paisley in Marigold.
We reupholstered her chairs in a subtle Laura Lienhard fabric. Sea Drift in Beach.


Here is one sexy desk chair for my client's bunsies. Lee chair with Schumacher Cheetah Velvet.

Occupational Hazard

This is my husband's LEAST favorite thing to come home to...


He confronts me. "Most women don't redecorate all of the time!"

"Well, Mr. Wedgie Pants, most women don't have this in their basement."


...or this remnant from the beige craze.


Can you blame me?
