Remember This Couch From Domino?

well it has a new life here.

So all my fabric arrived...

red or pink?



brown?



blue or gray?



green?



yellow?



black and white?

...and the decision is still hard! I bought most of the fabric in just one or half yards so I could decide in person but still! I can't wait to show you some of my other refinishing projects I have been working on - those I actually made a decision :).

Blue or Red?

My Chairs

I have Chinoiserie Chippendale faux bamboo chairs that I bought at my favorite junk shop - and although they were originally green I am considering either a hot orange-y red or a royal blue, or maybe a light pink shell. Opinions? I am hoping to use oil paint (I find the finish more even and durable)- Does anyone know where to get oil paint in great colors? I usually mix RustOleum paints to get my own colors, which has led to uneven results - does anyone have a better source?

Sorry about the long absence - late June and early July were busy for me :)

Opinions needed!!

So this is one of my NYC street finds - it is missing the glass - presumably why it was thrown out originally . I am torn on what to do with it exactly. The room that we are using as our living room right now doesn't have any windows just doorways to other rooms that have windows so I was hoping that this piece would glam it up/ reflect light in a nice way.

But I need help because I cant make up my mind AT ALL. So please any feedback or ideas is appreciated - I have 4 options here to choose from (please forgive my photo shop silliness). The thing is I love the color of the wood but it does feel a bit dated and since it was free I am not too concerned about 'ruining' it. What do you think?

CHOICE 1 buy a new piece of glass - keep old wood color

CHOICE 2 buy a new piece of glass - paint glossy white color

CHOICE 3 buy a new piece of glass that is mirrored - keep old wood color (my least favorite of all of them)

CHOICE 4 buy a new piece of glass that is mirrored - paint wood color ( to gaudy? fresh?)
