I always like to find furniture with great bones that can be transformed with updated fabric. You know I've been working on my daughter's apartment. If you've been following you know I found a pair of very well made camel back chairs with less than desirable fabric. This is what they looked like when I found them.
I selected some Dwell Studio fabric in citrine. She's absolutely thrilled with them.

| Transformed Chair |
They're perfect with the gray and citrine she already has in the room.
One of the chairs is under the window beside a long sofa table with nail head trim. I found this great super long table at a consignment store. It makes a perfect buffet for parties and of course you know how I love nail head trim.
On the sofa table I placed a twisted wire base lamp with a citrine
shade, a chevron book box, a vintage ceramic elephant and a tray with
elephants. The tray was actually a simple gold tray. I decoupaged some
elephant wrapping paper onto it.
The other transformation for her living room is this ottoman. Toile is just not her thing.
I chose another Dwell Studios fabric in a coordinating geometric and here's the result. She can use it as a footstool, extra seating, or if she adds a tray, a coffee table. She actually found a tray for it at Target. It has orange lacquer inside and handles for serving.
So cute with a button in the middle and pleats all around. I can't wait to place it in her living room. Won't the orange lacquered tray be perfect on it?
