Love all of it! Love those wing chairs with the black lamp between them. Beautiful contrast. I'm defintely going to have to try the nail head cork board. My vote for the craiglist chair is white. Love your style.
P.S. Where did you get the yellow "T"?
The letter T is from Joanns. It comes in craft paper brown. I wanted to do something cooler, but I was bored and had some craft paint on hand. I'm in love with yellow lately.
Love that large yellow "T"
Haydee,
One more question...sorry. I just bought a couple of wing chairs off Craigslist (which are hideous blue). I noticed your are slipcovered. Did you make those slipcovers yourself or have them made? I can sew a straight line but wingbacks are very curvy...I'm afraid they may be beyond my sewing level (or patience).
Michelle--questions are always welcome--they make me feel like less of a nut job for posting such self-indulgent cr..stuff.
I had the slipcovers made, I bought and prewashed (preshrunk) the fabric and the woman charged me less than $400 for both --to be honest I don't even think they look as good as they should (I had an AMAZING girl in Utah) but they do have a zipper down the back and I wash them regularly. White is so easy--my secret is bleach or oxy clean and during the rinse cycle I pour almost an entire bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the wash. They stay Super white. Anyway. I used a sort of white demin I got a joanns with a 40% off coupon. I cant wait to see how your turn out. Another big thing which you probably know is to be sure to ask for the welting, or piping..whatever..it makes the biggest difference.
Good Luck with yours.
