I thought I’d show you a few more details in this room.

In my space plans (Feb. 08) for this room, I drew a chair to place in this corner of the room. Thinking, if we found something similar, that would be fine. The Mom was able to find the same Louis XVI oval back chair, as in the plans, in a model home resale store. It had a brown stained wood frame and covered in a neutral fabric. Of course, that would not “fly” in this room.

So, I sanded, primed and painted the frame in the hot pink, and had the seat and back recovered in the black and white dots. The carved rosette/flower detail, at the top of the legs was enhanced with B/W paint. (details). The boa adds a bit of fun. The classic French chair took on a whole new personality with it’s lively remake, and looks right at home in this setting.

Here’s the chair transformation process… sand, prime, paint, clear polyurathane, upholster.

A closer look at some of the elements in the room. (I always like to see the details).

The three previous posts (New Room for a Young Lady, part 1, 2 and 3) show my design process. From space plans to the small final details. It’s important to have a plan before you begin. Then you can, see the ‘big picture’, work within your budget, find furnishings easily and not waste time and money on mistakes.

Enjoy decorating your rooms! There’s nothing more satisfying and rewarding!
