When we last left off with our Milo Baughman chair, we were so sure we were going bold. We asked, fuchsia or teal? I found myself waffling along with each comment that came through, agreeing that fuchsia was it when you said so, but also nodding my head when you leaned teal. And for those of that you voted for […]

Milo Makes a Bold Move, Probably. (Help!)
Okay, here’s the thing with our funny little nook. The only thing that has really stuck in that room is the paint color. Well, the Vittsjo, too. But what has changed is the rotating cast of chairs and rugs, and for the longest time, that room has sat mostly empty. Rugs were returned, chairs were […]
A Really Simple DIY Bench (but Not For Us!)
Over the weekend – in addition to completing the studio baseboard installation (but not including the dreaded spackling, caulking and painting, oy!) – we spent a morning building this bench: For a handful of weeknights, we’ve been helping our friends makeover their home’s entry (more on that next week, that is, if all goes well!), […]
Fabric Picking + Chair Rescuing
Soon after sharing our pairs of chairs, I began the process of ordering a handful of fabric swatches for our recent estate sale find. There was some definite push back on keeping them as-is (even having family give us a ring and claim that they loved them, just the way they were!), but! Allow us […]
Lovely Chair, Phase 1: Disassembly
Over the weekend, Scott and I tackled Phase 1: Disassembly of Operation Lovely Chair. (Not to be confused with pre-phases choosing fabric, take 1 and take 2.) We mentioned our fear of messing with old wood screws, caps and creaky joints, but to our surprise, it was easy. As in, we rolled up our sleeves, […]
The Dandelion Chair
Remember when we picked out fabric swatches for our to-be-tweaked living room? We successfully used the white vinyl on that $2 chair, we’ve yet to make new pillows, and we waffled on the grey we chose for the reupholstering of the lovely chair. (But hey, we got 1 out of 3, and that ain’t bad.) […]
Black + White
After asking for your input on our totally teal console and then waiting months before putting our plan into action, we promised ourselves that the same would not happen to our 2-dollar chair. We mentioned that we were leaning towards the clean, crisp look of black + white, and we even confirmed our leanings when […]
About That $2 Chair
As first mentioned in our tweaking post, we added a $2 chair to our living room set up. It’s a little funny that we’ve grown our furniture collection with a yard sale find – only to have our own sale in August, isn’t it? In any case, we spotted her a few weeks ago, we […]
Made for Each Other
During last week’s bake-a-thon, our teal chair found a new friend in Arielle’s boots. Not only did we manage to break every rule in cookie making, but of course we found the time to document the happy couple. That is, in between craft making and record flipping. Happy, happy (early) weekend, all!
Sittin’ Pretty
One of the many perks of my wacky job as a rep for an industrial uniform company is that I get to see into the back rooms of every type of business imaginable. (What, you didn’t know that’s what I do?) So imagine my surprise a few weeks back when I walked into the shop of […]
