Chair Love

Image: Living Etc

I just love these armchairs - the colours, the fabric and the fact they are old chairs that have been reupholstered. Have you ever mix-and-matched different fabrics on the one chair?

P.S. Now, I have to apologise for my lack of blog-visiting lately. I've been really missing everyone's updates and the inspiring world of design blogs but have just had too much on and something had to give. But hopefully, I'll have more time very soon! xoxo J

There's nothing better than a good dose of recycling and upcycling.

Love this old grain sack-covered chair and bright green seat belt cushion. The light is no doubt new, but has an old (in a good way), recycled look about it too!

Now, if you love Livingetc as much I do and as much as Will at Bright.Bazaar does, check out his giveaway of two yearly subscriptions to the mag over at his blog.

Light Blue Sofas

I like a light blue sofa. But I've never had one. Have you?

They go so well with wood and white, even gray and lilac.

For a coastal theme or for something a bit more glam.

These rooms are both sumptious and serene at the same time.

I think I like this sofa and its colour the best, especially as the room has my favourite ostrich feather light by Haldane Martin as a hanging pendant. Sigh.

Enjoy the weekend!

Union Jack Chair

I have just found the perfect chair (or should I say chaise longue) for my patriotic English husband. It's bright but funky and looks seriously snore-inducing!

I discovered it on UK photographer James Merrell's website. You should check out his work - great stuff.

Closer to home, though, David met Nicole in Surry Hills, Sydney stock cushions made from vintage Union Jack flags and currently have a Union Jack wingback armchair! I feel a visit coming on ...

Armchair Corners

I love not only a good-looking and comfortable armchair but a well-designed corner to put one in that makes you want to kick back and enjoy the moment - whatever that may be. Here are some gorgeous armchair settings in which I'd love to curl up and read a book ...

Not exactly an armchair, I know, but how welcoming does it look? Even the dog looks at home!
