Kitchen Love

October 17, 2013
I came across this image via Pinterest and fell in LOVE — everything about it. I love the herringbone floors, the gorgeous mirrored cabinets, and the patterned wallpaper. Many of us are not at the stage in life where we can customize everything about our kitchen, so until then: here are a few items to help get the look:

A few of you have been asking for a flat tour — we are still working on a few things but I wanted to share a few sneak peeks. :)
Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Chair Makeover

July 1, 2013
Remember these guys? I bought them on Craigslist last Fall and asked you all for some input on what should do with them.
I love a good DIY but these were a little more challenging than I had anticipated. The wood wouldn’t take normal stain and I wasn’t feeling painting over the wood so I thought we were stuck. After a little research, I finally found gel stain and it worked like a charm. 
After staining it I took it to a local upholsterer and had them re-cover the chairs in West Elm’s dove gray velvet. It’s such a gorgeous fabric!
They’ve made it all the way across the pond and they’re perfect in our little flat.

What do you think?
