Faux Bamboo Luggage Racks

I have a pair of faux bamboo luggage racks.  You know me though.  

Why would I ever put luggage on them?

I thought they'd make excellent bedside tables or even a mini collapsable bar.

I started with a pair of these fabulous luggage stands.

I carried the measurements for the tops around with me for a while until I found the perfect trays for them.  These woven trays have iron handles and the sides are also double reinforced metal.

TRAY FOR LUGGAGE RACK

Here you have a perfect mini bar, or a side table, or a bedside table.
The base could also accommodate another tray or a basket.

What have you done with a luggage rack that doesn't involve luggage?

Chinese Chippendale Garden Chairs with Chinoiserie Fabric--Before and After

Faux bamboo, wicker, Chinese Chippendale design, and Chinoiserie fabric--what's not to like!

I found this fabulous pair of vintage Chinese Chippendale garden chairs. 

They were painted black. 

 I re-painted them a charcoal grey to co-ordinate with the new citrine and charcoal fabric.

GREAT CURVY LEGS AND ARMS

This Robert Allen Chinoiserie fabric from Dwell Studio is a favorite of mine.

VINTAGE BLOSSOM FABRIC  - ROBERT ALLEN FOR DWELL STUDIO

I think that the fabric works well with General Finishes Paint in Queenstown Grey.

It's perfect if you're looking for a charcoal grey.

PAINT IS GENERAL FINISHES QUEENSTOWN GREY

Love the design on the back rest.

They look good from behind too.
