Tag, I'm it! The best of the tag sales this weekend.

Tag sale, estate sales, etc. They are the best for shopping for special pieces. This weekend's sales netted a great find. And though I will be bringing it to Hanna Antiques this week, a part of me want to re-upholster it into something fun and keep it for myself!
So, I am super excited about this vintage to antique settee below. I would love to see it at the end of a bed for putting on shoes, in a wide hallway for a great reading area, or in a limited space home. The exposed wood provides a smaller profile to fit into smaller spaces. And, it is comfortable. Oh, if only I have a client right now that needed this item!

Note how much space is left in the Prius!

Love to think that I can easily fit a settee into the car. Prius' are the best!

Pretty carved leg, that is lightly bunged- easy fix.

Check out the pretty and simple upholstery! I think it is the second upholstery job on the piece.

Original tied springs and burlap webbing underneath the dust cloth on the bottom.

Mr. Selfridge inspirations- the turquoise parlor set

As I sit on my turquoise velvet chaise watching Mr. Selfridge and loving the turquoise/teal parlor set. Will it start a color trend? I hope so! What do you think? Here is some inspirations to mull over.

(And, in case you haven't seen the series... here is a link to the series. Mr. Selfridge.)

 Yum, turquoise and warm dark wood tones!


From a Southern Living Idea House 2006... and there is the chaise I'm sitting on. Wish I could have gotten the doggie chaise for my schnauzer!
