Prettiest deconstructed chair - Linen and Burlap

This chair is the best...

under the pale green and pink Victorian couple

upholstery

was

Burlap...

    and linen.

What a chair !

It has a Big Comfy feather cushion

which I did cover in

a soft brown burlap.

The rest of the chair ,

it was just waiting to be

uncovered

Every surface is covered in gesso

to make the prettiest

*carvings*

so gorgeous

I am loving the deconstructed look but

this would be equally gorgeous reupholstered.

Its a Big chair , almost

 a chair and a half.

It has a really wide seat.

Of course I want to keep it but I got

 2 thumbs down

 on

the idea of replacing Joe's recliner with

 it.

 The man simply has no style

ha ha!

So...

 It will be available at the

Monticello Christmas show.

Rachel Ashwell's ( bed ) Skirt was Too Short

I like all the

Rachel Ashwell

 products at

 Target.

I'm sure that I would

love

everything at her shops in

 California

but I don't see that roadtrip in my near future.

So...

Target it is.

We have a vintage cast iron bed that

sits up higher

than the modern bed skirts with a 17" drop.

So ...

I took a RA white dust ruffle

and cut it off of the flat base that

 goes between the mattress and boxspring

 ( adding an extra 12" )

.

I added this onto one of

Rachels' ecru bed skirts

that matched the comforter set.

 Now it's the Perfect length.

I

procrastinated on this

project for a

whole year ,

 know what ??

 It only took 2 hours to do

 Sheesh!

 Then

I cleaned this corner of the

bedroom

so I could take some photos. ha ha

After Christmas I'll take more photos...

Just purchased a vintage mirror to hang but it

*needs*

white paint first.

We are working

frantically

getting ready for the

Monticello Christmas Show

Joe is working on a birdhouse ,

it's soooo cute.

Hope to see you there :)
