TGIF! I have to say, I am starting to get a touch of spring fever. Maybe its because we are going on vacation soon or maybe its because I have been fabric shopping this week and stalking pinterest looking for ideas for my green chair. I started my upholstery class last week and during next week’s class, I will already start working with the material for the chair’s future cushions! I am so excited to finish this piece. The class is 8 weeks long and I feel like, in my head, there is already a line formed of future furniture finds that I have yet to scout out & buy and then eventually work on. It might become a slight addiction for me. I won’t be able to keep all of the pieces I reupholster, obviously, so will probably try to sell them!
Today, I am sharing a new little love of mine – florals! The power of the flower is making a comeback and I feel like it becomes on-trend again every few years. I won’t be sharing my actual fabric choice until I finish the chair, but here is where I pulled some of my inspiration.
Remember back to this post where I first debuted the green chair? I still picture these little beauties when I think back to how excited I was when I rescued my $4 chair.

I had florals on my mind while fabric shopping online & at Joann’s this week and also found it to be a similar trend on Pinterest and in fashion blogland. I am so in love with a floral pattern mixed with brights + contrasting prints + leather. so fun. I think my green chair might go for a more feminine look this time around.

IF I go with a floral pattern for the chair, it will be timeless. However, I think it almost NEEDS to have a fun contrasting pillow with a slight edge to go with. We’ll see what I come up with.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Thank you for reading & don’t forget to follow along on social media!

March 3, 2015 at 4:05 PMHi Dominique! Thank you 🙂 First of all, from the looks of your last post, I wouldn’t say your home is pattern-shy. That rug is fab! If you are still looking to add more, I would start with quick & inexpensive items, like throw pillows & blankets to experiment with first. After you are more comfortable with pattern & prints, you can go for more – bold rugs, curtains, chairs and ottomans. Do it slowly to see what you like!!
