HOW I DO PERFECTLY IMPERFECT DECOR

Do you do weathered and timeworn in your home?  I do.  It's one of my signature styles.
Take a tour of my perfectly imperfect decor that I use inside and out in my home.

When I bought this chair, it was nothing more than a chippy frame. 
 I left the chair frame as found and had it upholstered in a leopard print.

The chair pairs perfectly with my equally time worn French desk and leather books.

Between both of them is a flaking column.

This crumbling mirror adds an elegant decadence to my powder room.

Chipped vintage gold finials contrast perfectly with the flawless pearls.

I also have an oil painting on the landing of my foyer.  I embrace its curling canvas corner.

Have you ever purchased a deconstructed chair.?  I've not only purchased a chair,  but I also couldn't pass up an equally worn chaise.

This peeling religious statue is very special to me.  It was a gift from my Mom.

If you follow along you know I have a thing for well-used bread boards.  The more battered the better.  A repair is always sought after.  This grouping is in my pantry.

I do perfectly imperfect outside too.
These fabulously flawed orange shutters flank the french doors on my patio.

I rescued several sections of a vintage iron fence and added them to my garden as they were found.  If you look in the background of the photo, you'll see my equally worn chinoiserie planter.  They're one of a pair.

In another garden bed I have a rusty cupola and garden chair.

Do you add perfectly imperfect to your home?
