Vintage Chairs

Whenever I'm working with a tight budget, I always look for vintage pieces to recover/paint, etc. Thank god for Craigslist and thrift stores!

Currently I'm "researching" (aka searing on Pinterest) for vintage chairs (or vintage looking) in living rooms.

If only I could find some like these! So cool.


Wing back chairs are the easiest kind to find, but not all are created equal. These (below) have a great shape. Maybe I should do a post about ugly vs. pretty wing backs....

Spring Staples

It was supposed to snow last night, crazy! I don't think it did, or if it did I was asleep. But it's back up to the 50s today and will be in the 70's by the end of the week.

Since the weather has been pretty warm this "winter", I have my mind set on some wardrobe staples for the springtime.

I tried these jeans on at Anthro before Christmas and they are very flattering... I'll be honest - I have some junk in the trunk!


The new TOMS ballet flats... I have a feeling once I get these, they will be the only shoe I wear.




Blazers have become my go-to closet staple. I throw them on with some jeans and boots and feel polished yet comfortable enough to run around town all day. I love this peach blazer from Top Shop!



I also think this jacket is beautiful.. it's chiffon so I can imagine the drape is so pretty!

Friday Find

I'm thinking of starting a new series called Friday Find. Although let's be honest, whenever I start a "series", I'm not the best at continuing them. BUT I think this one has potential..? I always come across good budget friendly pieces when looking for clients and I like to share them with you.

Today's find is this wheat colored wing back from World Market:



Upholstery fabric can make or break a budget-friendly piece, and this chair has great fabric. I like the warm neutral a lot (it's not too yellow), and it feels like a linen/cotton blend.





$350!

Would you guys like this if I started doing it every Friday?
