This chair was a birthday gift for a client, given to her by her very smart husband. I mean, how many guys do you know who could pick out such a fun chair? {She and I have joked that when I find 'that guy' he will spend time with her husband making sure he knows how to be The Man.} And besides being a pretty chair, it is so her.
Bright, cheery, relaxed and full of life.
She called me to help select fabrics to recover the pillows in the window seat in the room since the existing color scheme is muted greens, some gold, and brown, mixed with great original art work that brings in some of the brighter colors found in the chair.
I selected brighter colors found in the chair that also have some of the neutrals that were already in the room so the blending of styles is a subtle thing so she won't have to then change out the cushions and window treatments to match her new pillows.
The last thing anyone wants is the domino effect redecorating can have some times.
Ever experience that? Fall in love with something completely different from everything else in the room, bring it home, and by the end of your efforts to blend it in you've redone everything? I have. No bueno.
The fabrics are Trend and Fabricut and are a bit more vibrant than shown here. The web images on their sites seem a little washed out. The great thing about Trend is their prices are so reasonable. These all range between $30 - $40 a yard. A steal for upholstery grade designer fabrics.
