Creating a Style Board Using French Décor

I was contacted by Holly Hughes with Chairish.com to create a style board using one of their vintage chairs as my inspiration.  Of the sample chair photos she sent me, I chose the Next French Medallion Chair.  I love its simple, yellow upholstery with noo pattern, and I also like the shape of the chair.  It would fit well in a room in the French style of decor that we bloggers love so well.  I created my style board for a casual family room.


I have shown the chair larger since it is the inspiration piece.  I kept gold and red as the main colors for the room.  All the items I chose are available at Chairish.com.  What is Chairish?  It is an online store where you can buy and sell your vintage items.  Lots of the items are "make an offer" items.  You should check it out.






About my other items.  I liked the table (commode) because it speaks to the curves on the chair.  The mirror for the wall is vintage, and would look great over the table.  The rug has a somewhat modern vibe, but would anchor the other items well, and would make for a cozy family room setting. The pattern will work well because the chair is a solid color.   I chose the lamp for it's vintage style, as well, the red candle sticks for a pop of color, and the rooster art because what says french style, more than roosters?

Hope you like my style board, and many thanks to Holly for the invitation to participate in this opportunity.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
