Quick Little Update

The title of this post is actually a bit of a double entendre - I'm doing a brief update on our blog...about a simple little update on a pair of chairs!

In a couple of weeks, my parents will officially have a pied-a-terre here in South Florida!  And Maison Bord de Mer has been given the opportunity to completely furnish / decorate the apartment.  Because of the locale, and my mother's aesthetic preferences, we are leaning towards a coastal chic style with a tropical twist.

We picked up these side chairs at a vintage furniture shop in Ft. Lauderdale.  Originally we had wanted to stain them a rich walnut color and reupholster the seats with a white and green leafy print fabric, but after finding a Hawaiian print fabric with a black background, we opted to leave alone the white-wash finish on the chairs.

After giving the chairs a proper cleaning, we carefully removed the original drab white fabric and reupholstered the seats with this fun hibiscus patterned fabric.  The chairs are finished and ready to be moved into their new home!!

Look for more updates as we complete other projects and get things moved into my parents apartment.

Merci!
