Design 911 / Becky's Eclectic Living Room

Becky from Hatch Design Public Blog wrote in about her newly acquired mid century chair and how it badly needs a face lift. Becky's home is full of great pieces that rage from modern to rustic to mid century. I adore Becky's blue colored lamps and pillows but think she might need a little more color in her living room. I think it would be fun if the back part of the chair was spray painted in white gloss. I would also spray paint the metal part of the chair black and sand it down first for a smooth clean finish. On the seat I would upholster it in a yellow geometric pattern like the ones above from Florence Broadhurst or Lewis and Sheron. I would love to see this chair redone and perhaps Becky can send in a photo of the finished product. Thanks Becky and I hope you enjoy your newly designed chair!

Vanessa thanks so much! It's so funny, two yellow pillows from Victora Hagan arrived from Target.com today - they are so similar to the fabric samples you picked out. They are actually for my bedroom but I can't believe how zoomed in on my taste you are.

Thanks so much!

Becky

More fab suggestions Vanessa! Love your yellow choices.

I also sure do love Becky's existing blue lamp and Kate Spade bag :)

Style Court, thanks! I scored that bag for something like $99 via an online kate spade.com sample sale. I love it so much that I have to leave it out and admire it every day (I have a habit of doing that with bags, as I have an entire purse room upstairs). The lamp came from Delaware River Trading Company back when it was in the Highlands (drtcstudio.com). I've found the same lamp for under $100 in other colors up at Ballard's Backroom in Roswell GA.
