Find 1: Custom Chairs that Wow!

Find 1: Custom Chairs that Wow!

Fun day at Dallas Furniture Market on Thursday... 

lots of snacks and oh-so- many buyers...

 but I enjoy the perks of braving the crowd.

Once in a while, I'm stopped dead in my tracks. 

~Photo break for the above~

Not only do I adore the color combination, but this chair

 is a go-to resource because it is....

A winning combination!

1: Simple:  Clean lines on the frame

2: Custom: Choose any fabric you love

3: Affordable: Use the focal fabric on the front or back only 

4: Functional: Faux leather goes on the seats for easy clean up!

I raved about this same style chair last year... so I must still love it!

Read that post here and see more examples of how to use 

it in your kitchen or dining room.

Greenhouse Fabrics sent me an extra book which has some of these
extra fabrics!  I say-
Go for it!

I also carry vinyls faux leathers in all colors-

... and I probably don't need to remind you of how I feel about nailhead-

read about it here

Tobi Fairley's twist on the same idea...

A bit simpler but classy-

Bold on the front and solid on the back-

Use the more affordable fabric on the back or switch it up!

Don't forget to customize the wood color as well:)

I'll be sourcing these chairs for my clients, More, More, Moore's, 

so let me know if you want some too!

Until next time,

Gorgeous on the Golf Course: A Client Update in West Plano

Gorgeous on the Golf Course: A Client Update in West Plano

Thinking Spring...

My client, NanaPatty, in West Plano was ready for an update. She wants to trade 

in her expansive home on the golf course 

for a two bedroom, two bath condo at the beach!

Before putting the house on the market this Spring, she knew she needed 

to make some changes and knew she needed some help.  

Connell Interiors to the rescue!

We turned... blue, pink and dated-

into green, raspberry and fresh!

With the help of beautiful fabrics from Greenhouse and some reupholstery magic,

we were able to give her the look that buyers will love as well!

I didn't get the full view of the room because we were not quite finished,

but we also painted the fireplace mantle and some of her wood pieces a 

black matte color to tie into her kitchen.  The sofa and loveseat were also

reupholstered in the grassy green fabric, seat cushions were restuffed 

and bun feet were replaced with tapered blocks.

The kitchen was given a facelift as well...

Before:

After:

(light fixture will also be painted black)

And this beauty is on the way to go over the server...

What a difference color makes!

Are you thinking Spring too?

Until next time,
