2. Vintage or Deconstructed Furniture
The most pleasing room designs tend to sport a mix of old and new, and sometimes it is simply the suggestion of old that can effectively enliven such a mix. This newly constructed chair (RH) with a deconstructed style is suggestive of a vintage one which has been stripped.
Have you ever dragged home a vintage chair and removed upholstery for a similar look? I have always wanted to try that!

I’m strangely (for me) drawn to the pistachio paint color . I’ve pinned it and although I’m sure my cabinets will never end up with such a fun and unexpected color -I’m perfectly happy with my white ones but……. I’m thinking my sister in law may just fall in love with the green and these pictures may just put her over the edge to pull the trigger and make it happen in her home .
