I actually brought home three samples of fabric. One was a green and white damask, one was a stripe with greens and pinks with an overlay damask print in cream, and the last one was a soft off white with varying sizes of green stripes. I lived with the samples for a few days and made my decison. The pink and green was actually the perfect colors and pattern, however, it just said too much. It kept saying, "Look at me,look at me." I was tired of looking at it within the first hour. I wanted it to be a quiet soft look. The damask had too much yellow base in the green. The soft green stripe won! Stripes afterall are a consistent pattern in my life. The color was perfection and it went well with some damask green and white pillows that I already in my wicker chairs in the living room. I also have some silk green and cream curtains in the room. So
here is the winner………
I fell in love with this trim. It is not the conventional gimp that might be on a chair like this but I like a little whimsy in my life and this just called out to me. They only had enough to do the chair and it was discontinued, so I felt it was just meant to be for me to buy it.
The chair has been gutted, fluffed and puffed, stapled and tacked. This is what it looks like now…………………………….
Here is the fabric draped on the chair. I really like the way it looks, so soft so pretty. It is like a diamond matelasse’ on the background with the stripe overlay. Simple, soft and lovely.
This is a picture of the damask pillow and the silk drapes that are already in the room. It is an unfinished room but it does have a garden room look to it because of the great light that comes through the bay window. Rememer this room has vanilla icecream walls with white molding and a green ceiling.
Here is a picture of the ceiling so you can see how it all ties in together……….
This mirror is reflecting the ceiling. Now it is onto the part I have been waiting for, putting on the fabric. Wish me luck!! To be continued……

Kathysue, love that fabric (and the mirror!). I am redoing my porch have am putting a green and white on some pillows that reminds me of your print - only mine is that sunbrella fabric - not elegant. I showed a couple of the pillows at the end of today's post - come take a look. Linda
p.s. After seeing your green and white, I hope I am not making a mistake with the black I have added. Your pics are so restful! Linda

Hi! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment today! I lived in San Francisco for about 8 years and miss it so much still! However, New England has a special charm that you cannot get in CA. I am really enjoying going up and down the coast to visit the coastal towns. Maine is my favorite place to go. We would love to have a summer home up there.
I love the fabric you chose. White and green stripes have always been my favorite. I love what you are doing with that sweet chair. Cannot wait to see what it looks like when you are done.

Ta Da! The hard part is complete! I know you're glad that the "recreation" of the chair is finished and you can go on to making it pretty. Love the stripe matelasse'. It will be sturdy enough to hold up well, and I think the stripe is a great choice for the space...love the trim too! Can't wait to see the finished product.
