Finishing off the Master

I am putting the finishing touches on the master. Remember this desk which I repainted?  Well, I finally got everything arranged around it.   It certainly is keeping with the romantic, feminine feel I envisioned for this room.

 

I refinished these old ladder back chairs.  The old finish was a thick, brown colour, and the stain was very scuffed.  I decided to restain them the same colour as the desk top.  The seat is upholstered in a blue leather, but it, too, is in poor condition.  For now I made these slipcovers, using an old Matlesse tablecloth. These chairs are so comfy! The seat has springs in it, and it is a nice surprise when you park your tooshie on one only to discover how comfy it is!

 

 

I love dried hydranges, and these have such beautiful, vibrant colour.

 

 

Frenchie pictures, my Mom found thrifting.

 

 

I had this portrait reframed. It was my Grandmother's. Ah, I adore it!

 

I topped the desk with these preserved cedar topiaries, a vintage tray, pictures of my girls, and a few other objet.

On my next post, I'll share the room in its entirety.
