WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN.......

They're back!  In time for a little Easter breakfast!  In fact, I already had the table set.  The painting was well worth the wait.  Caryn, of Caryn  Aiken's Decorative Painting was the responsible artist who worked out all of the details of how I wanted them to look.  Wood vs. paint was a hard decision.  Once I had made the decision, I knew there was no going back.  I had owned these chairs for 39 years.  The striped silk moire had been on the chairs for 19 years and it was just time for a well deserved change. 

Soft grays, we used three shades and a glaze.

At the head of the chair is the silver leaf and gold leaf

which created a champagne finish on the carved detail.

With an extensive collection of blue and white acquired from European

travels, I decided to bring those collections together.  All plates are a different

pattern.  It all works together because there is a "constant" of rattan chargers

and yellow chargers which brings the collection altogether and makes

the different patterns work.

Love it, love it, love it!!!

I have decided for the house walk, that I must use pink.  Tried that out

and it is amazing.......

 

The back of the chair and the subtle rubbing off of the gray paint to

make them look older than they are.  They truly look like a French antique!

The Sunbrella indoor/outdoor soft white linen.............if anything should spill, soap

and water and a scrub brush and spots will be gone. . . . . .( I have started using outdoor

fabrics indoors) for my clients as well.  Great satisfaction has been achieved, especially

for young families which spills are just a part of everyday life!
