I love these two images. I know it’s not everyone’s taste but I think large scale photos are the perfect decor for an otherwise simple bathroom. I’ve been scouring art.com for similar photos to hang in the bathroom and picked these three — which is your favorite?
Some of you know that I bought this pair of chairs a few weeks ago on Craigslist. Here’s the photo that was posted on CL — you can’t tell in this picture but the fabric is a 60’s green and it’s not in that great of shape. Getting them re-upholstered is on my to-do list. Matt thinks they look like old lady chairs, and even though I love the shape and design of them I have to agree that they’d look a little more modern with some updates. A few weeks ago I tried to stain them a lot darker and it looked FAB — but the wood wouldn’t take the stain so I had to strip it. Nightmare central.
So I’ve been throwing around the idea of painting them a glossy black. Some people I’ve mentioned it to are horrified because the wood really is beautiful — it’s just a little on the lighter side which makes it look more old-fashioned.
I’d love to hear your thoughts — am I crazy for wanting to paint over the wood? I’m nervous that I’ll regret it. I’m thinking of upholstering with a cream velvet and putting pillows in this fabric on them.
+ {Above} I finally got my favorite Etsy print hung. Sort of obsessed with it.
+ Has anyone checked out the Nate Berkus for Target collab yet? This is the first time I’ve bought anything from a Target/designer collaboration — I snagged this pillow and this vase. So excited about both.
+ Speaking of home decor, I’m loving Zara’s home line. I have my eye on this, this and this. Have your purchased anything from them yet? I’m interested in hearing about the quality of everything.
Lately I’ve been loving this Kelly Wearstler fabric — as seen in Nicole‘s, Alex‘s and Hallie‘s gorgeous homes. I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate it into our place and I finally ordered a pair of custom pillows. I can’t wait for them to arrive — I think they’ll look perfect on our Craigslist chairs!
