girl meets glamour

I came across this lovely chair...maybe not for me and my dining area...but it's new to CBell furnishings, this painted Chippendale Style Arm Chair just caught my eye, and I couldn't resist posting it :)

for the perfect dining chair. See, my dining area doesn't lend itself to much room besides the necessities...and so my solution is a similar table like seen below (48" round, possibly White Carrara marble top) with 4 chairs. But sometimes I find myself floundering in the decision making department when it comes to my own home...


so, when seeing this Domino issue about pairing the right chair with your table...I thought, that's it! I'll do a Chinese "Chippendale" chair...maybe with a Josef Frank fabric inspired fabric, and voila we're done!


But, then came along this Miles Redd design (above featured in Domino/Oct '05) with a Ram's Head chair, I thought...maybe we have another candidate on our hands! So what do you think, should I consider the Ram's Head chair for my dining area too (like the one from this Miles Redd design)?


To me, it's a classic and timeless chair...definitely not a trend, or is it? What do you think of this chair in general?

I love this image! The wallcovering, the chair, the dark hardwood...and the rug too! And I have to say, if I haven't said this before, that Desire to Inspire blog...does just that, always inspires me...so thank you for your great posts!


Not for my dining room, but check out these Ram's Head chairs I found on Graham and Green. Above is a bone-inlay Ram's Head chair with an intricate floral decoration, below is embossed white metal...zoom in to see how much detail is there!

(Suzie from Palazzo Pizzo blog was kind enough to pass along this image from a recent Elle Decor issue for my post, thanks!!)







If designing a room out of toile is a hard sale for you, check out this great idea featured in Elle Decor back in April. Owners Glen Senk and Keith Johnson (of Anthropologie), found a creative ways to display a collection of Toile de Jouy fabrics in antique frames, shown above.


Or you could simply use the fabric as an accent in a room, like what owners Mario and Anne Grauso have done in their dining room here, featured in Elle Decor/Sept. '06.

For a more modern twist on toile, check out Timorous Beasties (a fantastic fabric and wallcovering company) and a previous post of mine here...

and the owners for that matter....


A little inspiration for Maryam at My Marrakesh blog...I hope this collection of images will guide you towards the design of the bathrooms in your home and the Peacock Pavilions. Do keep us posted on your progress.
