Something old, something new


This gorgeous chair that I had updated for our home just arrived back from the polisher/upholsterer. This was a very old dark timber antique chair, the fabric was in tatters, it was missing 2 of the 3 tall detailing in the back of the chair. With a bit of TLC it has come up looking beautiful. Im so happy with it! The turquoise and gorgeous bold stripes are such a lovely look to a quite a traditional chair. Look at the before shot - yikes!

Have a gorgeous weekend everyone. Kellie xx

    Kellie- What a stunner! The proportions of that chair are just amazing, and the bright color and black and white stripes look just fantastic!

    The history that is within the bones of that restored beauty makes it even more special. I love that it is the same colour as your icon chair.
