Vintage Chair Before & After

Before I even started redecorating my apartment, I scored an amazing pair of vintage, Louis XVI style chairs from an auction house in my hometown of Detroit. They were a steal for the pair and had great bones but were in dire need of a revamp. Here is what they ooked like before:

The silhouette of these chairs were exactly what I was looking for with feminine curves and a frame that wasn’t too ornate.  But the fabric screamed grandma’s house and the painted frame was all yellow and speckly. They were begging for a makeover! I had them reupholstered …

DIY Gold Bookcase Etagere - from sohautestyle.com

When I was redecorating my apartment I had a very hard deadline to finish things up since my place was being photographed for Better Homes & Gardens. One of the final pieces I was on the hunt for was a pair of chic gilded iron etageres. Rather than a brass finish, I preferred the look of gilded iron because I love the contrast, texture and patina of a lightly applied, shimmering gold finish with hints of black, aged iron peeking through. I wanted my etageres to be between 6-7 feet tall, at least 40″ wide and with a very …

Even though I’m holding on tightly to the last days of summer I’m starting to look at fall decor products and trends for some upcoming TV segments and other projects. One Fall collection that I am utterly obsessed with this season is West Elm! They pretty much knock it out of the park every season but I am seriously in love with the look and feel of their fall assortment. The vibe is mid century meets luxe with lots of shimmering metallic accents and rich details which add a polished and luxurious feel to the more mid century and …

In the latest issue of Elle, fashion designer Lela Rose takes us inside her chic country retreat in the Catskills. The 3,600-square-foot modernist cabin was designed to blend in with its woodsy surroundings and comes complete with a conversation pit, “sleeping porch”, wooden Japanese soaking tub and greenhouse among other things. I especially love her secluded sun porch that features a single hanging rattan chair and stunning views all around. It looks like the perfect place to unwind with a good book and escape from it all! Below is a breakdown on how to get the look. See more of …
