I thought I'd share some photos of this fun chair we just had painted and re-upholstered for one of my clients. We used plain hot pink felt to cover the seat. We wanted to keep the chair all one colour and not cover the seat in a busy pattern. I can't wait to deliver it to my client. I am sure she is going to love it!
I have also had so many people ask me about the progress of our renovation and expansion. As usual, things have taken a little longer than anticipated. Upstairs is ALMOST done. I took these photos of the pink chair in our upstairs area. As you can see the cabinetry is almost complete and we are just waiting for our lighting to be installed. This should all be done in a week or so.
We will then be closing the shop for approximately 1 month from the 10th May to complete the renovation and expansion of the shop downstairs. So it is all systems go with a big re-opening party planned for mid-June! Oh and in amongst that we are moving house and having a baby so it is very full-on in my little world at the moment!!
I.LOVE.THIS.CHAIR!!!!

I love that chair! It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint and a re-upholstered seat brings new life to an old piece of furniture! Stunning as always xoxo

I love the chair. I can imagine it in many colours, and I want one of each!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks more than just fun, Stunning. Good luck with the renovations, moving, having a baby etc etc! You are an amazing juggler (hope that is the right expression in English).
ReplyDeleteOh Anna, it looks so pretty. I think of you every time I see that deep watermelon-y pink. That, and pastel, mint green.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything. Never rains, but it pours...!

The chair looks fantastic! Never would have imagined hot pink to be so chic. Will it be a single statement piece or an whole set?
ReplyDeleteYou do sound like a busy bee but I'm sure you're handling everything with efficiency & grace:)
I am so looking forward to seeing your new shop Anna. I must pop in and visit again...having withdrawals!
ReplyDeleteOh my God! I love the fuchsia on this chair! So cheerful, perfect for the summer! xo
ReplyDeleteDont worry - I'm sure she will luv it Anna, like I do, gorgeous luscious pink!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy job for tomorrow is to spray an old chair gold. The chair has been with me since I was 10 and I'm hoping it works.
ps.good luck with the baby and the move and everything!
Wow, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAudacious colour. Love it, just my cup of tea.

me encanta las fotos de tu blog,the flowers,furniture,papers,and red chair,Congratulations!I speak english a little, excuseme.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't believe I am the first to comment on this. I am really loving it. So many times I visit blogs and I see this comment but I am SERIOUSLY loving it and don't know how to put it in more expressive words without sounding like a creepy stalker. I think the monochromatic look and that raspberry color are stunning. I have a chair like this in the basement and I am so going to give this a whirl. Thanks for the inspiration. What a lucky client you have.
ReplyDeletePamela
I am eagerly anticipating the big reveal come June! You truly do it all! Oh and love the pink chair, but who wouldn't? ; )

And having a baby! Wow I'll say it's full-on. Wish I were in Australia so I could pop in for the grand re-opening!
ReplyDeleteOh and I love the upholstery choice! I never ever would have thought to use the same color as the chair. Great solution for a busy bright Chippendale.
ReplyDeleteI love the design on the back of the chair. The pink is so bold, I secretly really love it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should write a book on time management Anna, I honestly don't know how you do it all. Love the chair, and all the best with your adventures this coming year. k xx
ReplyDeleteLove this!! I just bough a fabulous chair the other day to revamp... can't wait to see how mine turns out!

What a great colour! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so what I have to do with my dining chairs only I don't know how to. The structure is in a dark wood veneer - yes, I know it sounds hideous but they were once so chic and in line with the whole 'lounge look'.. :)
Is it possible to paint them? Do you know what I need to do?

Love this colour. One of my favs! x
ReplyDeleteLove how you chose to go plain, no pattern or texture on the cushion. As a decorator it is tempting to always go for one of the hundreds of fabulous patterns available.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this chair!
ReplyDeletelove, love, love this and saving it for inspiration down the road. thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteTrès beau ce que vous faites. Félicitations.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love that chair, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI heart this chair!! Kudos to you...what a great idea.
ReplyDeletei just came across your blog and I have a random question. I am building a new home and really love white floors and am considering doing them in my main living area. I noticed the white floors in this pic. Just wondered what your thoughts are on them. Are they really high maintenace? Are you cleaning them all the time? I love them but don't want to be a slave to cleaning them all the time. I would love your opinion.
