ARE YOU A FAN?

The Fan Chair aka Peacock Chair named for its resemblance to a peacock's fanned tail feathers became popular in the 1970s however their origin dates back to the 19th century with the introduction of rattan from China. They have seen somewhat of a revival over the past two years and are popping up in design magazines, photo shoots and advertisements.  I picked one up this weekend for the shop that is in excellent condition.  

Are you a fan of the FAN?  Do you like them painted or oh naturale?

Bombshell Boudoir Part 2

If you remember a few posts back, my muse for my bedroom is Brigitte Bardo and a muted pink, grey color palette with hits of gold and black. Very sexy and modern glam.

Part 2 of this post focuses on a sitting area that is part of our bedroom. This area will feature a sofa, lucite coffee table, flokati rug, dresser/credenza and lighting.

I purchased a similar 1960s Baker down-filled sofa recently at an estate sale. It was in the "no-no room" so basically had never been used and was in prestine condition. The fabric is a pale ballet slipper silk damask.

My dresser/credenza is very similar with an Asian vibe. I purchased mine from a wonderful store in Birmingham, AL called Soho Retro.

Once again, my estate sale adventures paid off. I purchased a 1970s Lucite coffee table in near mint condition.

A Flokati rug always warms and softens a space.

I want to use harder more industrial style lighting to counter balance all the glam. There is a fine line between Grandma and Glam........no offense Grandma.
