Pieces That Speak To Me

Burlap Luxe, Home living room

Inspiring darker shades of white.

The chest was a dark piece that beckoned to be finished in a darker shade of white.

I stripped off its darkness to paint a new future for it. The sideboard chest was a local thrift find for twenty two dollars, I knew I had a treasured find.

Maker; Century furniture.

It's now a soothing piece that adds soul to my gathered and collected home.

Thank you Kim, White Whispers To You for the beautiful gifting of the French paperback books that rest on my chest of greyness.

An Ethan Allen, French chair was given to me from a developer that I design his model homes. His wife, a friend, no longer liked it, nor the pink and blue fabric. I stripped it down and painted it in shades that blended to then upholster it in natural linen. Take notice of the arm where arm pads would have been, I loved the contour of its naked~arm and decided to leave it as is nail holes and all.

Thanking my dear friend Kim Kelly, from Bella Rustica who shares my passion for linen. Kim gifted me some of her beautiful textiles where I have been sewing up tattered linen dinning napkins. Nothing says relaxed dinning like tattered French linens.

Adding beauty to pieces that speak to me, nothing is meant to be perfect but, it is.
