New chairs !!!

13 years ago

Seriously needed chairs for the vacation house ... the living room is small and needs smallish scaled chairs.

These leapt out at me on Overstock and said, "We want to meet your couch." It has out-curved arms and legs similar to the chair and a similar color wood with some of the pastel "southwestern" colors that were in fashion in the 1980s. It was supposedly by some snooty Santa Fe maker and came to me via a consignment shop.

I may stencil the fabric with leaping lizards or perhaps slipcover them with saddle blankets for more of an ethnic look. The bolster pillow is definitely going to be recovered in something. But they look comfortable.

I love them just the way they are! But you could cover the little pillow with fun fabric.

Couch ... rather a poor picture, but you can see the shape of the arms. It's all loose pillows, so it's easy to recover. I'm going to strip the wood of that tacky pastel stuff and let the real wood do its thing.

The floor is extremely temporary. Under the yucky 1992 pinkish-beige carpet (date verified by a scrap of newspaper referring to "president-elect Clinton) was equally yucky plywood subfloor, and the new oak floors won't arrive until late July.

So I grabbed some "oops" paint from the hardware store and painted it a dusty lavender. It's smoother, dust-free, and way prettier than plywood.

Cooperbailey: Yes, the pillows are definitely going to be covered with something suitably gaudy fun.

The design goal for this place is "Taos Hippy Colony/ Vintage New Mexico / Boho Ethnic Moroccan" but with less taste.

I love the leaping lizards idea! It would go perfectly with Taos Hippy...

Quick picture: It needs the oak floor and a rug, and some colorful curtains next. I'm thinking of hanging SW rugs as curtains.

After the fence gets fixed, skylights replaced, etc. etc. ... this is along-term project.
