neighborly love...

one of my neighbors hired me

to help her design some window treatments

for several rooms in her home.

while i was there, i noticed a pair of vintage bamboo

chairs in her basement. i told her if she ever considered

getting rid of them, to call me first!

i pulled into her driveway the other day to drop

something off, and she had both chairs ready for me

to haul off! i was so excited!

they are now happily part of my growing garage "pile".

i have big plans for these babies!

i'm thinking of mixing them with my

existing breakfast room chairs, and painting them 

all to match...in a nice soft grey like 

benjamin moore's "silver fox"

maybe even in a fun color,

like farrow and ball's "delft blue":

and then finding some 

yummy fabric to cover the seats,

like "chenonceau" by schumacher:

you'll need to stay tuned to see what i end up doing!

one of these days, i will have my

laboratory (own home) back, and when i do, 

i am going to go c-r-a-z-y.

well, as crazy as my budget will allow me~

aren't great neighbors wonderful?
