As many of you know I love magazines, especially the home & design ones. I was going through the new issue of Traditional Home and came across this photo.
It just so happens that I found two chairs very similar to the two pictured. Now I know they aren't quite as ornate and the fabric isn't great but the box cushions can be taken off without much trouble (thanks Carol!) and they were a steal at $140 for the pair.
My plan is to paint them a soft white and reupholster the cushions in a natural linen. One side of the living room has been empty for quite some time. I've been looking for pieces but don't want to break the bank to redo it.
Here is the board I pulled together for the space.
My two chairs are top left. I have a drop leaf table for behind the chairs. I added this one because I love the styling ideas. A rug for the area in a modern chevron, fabric for my chairs and my "wish list" small scale sofa from PB that would complete the space.
Have a great day, be back tomorrow with my menu!

That really was a steal for those two chairs! I love your ideas for the space - I think it's going to look awesome.

Love your chairs and the wonderful thing was the awesome price that you paid! Can't wait to see the change!

I'm loving this color scheme. I would love to do something like this too, but with a soon to be walking baby and future babies in mind I'm not sure that this would work for us right now. It sure is pretty though!!!

Isn't it funny how a room
in a magazine can absolutely
grab you and get the ideas
flowing? Love all yours and
know you'll make them sing!
