Happy Labor Day everyone! I have spent my holiday weekend updating pieces for Dwell With Dignity’s latest venture, Thrift Studio.  This pop up studio will only last for 30 days and will pop up around Dallas twice a year.  Lisa and Kim have asked five local designers  to set up and design vignettes for the launch of Thrift Studio later this month.  The  launch and first Thrift Studio will be located in the Dallas Design District, I promise to share the details once they are released. Along with all of our vignettes, there will be fabulous pieces from local showrooms and designers.  So grab your checkbook, credit card or cash and get ready to snag tons of deals and benefit DWD at the same time.

Last week we all met up at the DWD warehouse to select the items we wanted to use in our vignettes.  We all scoured the warehouse and picked through furniture, accessories and draperies that have all been donated to DWD.  Pieces from Global Views, The Curtain Exchange and Shine Home made their way to our “piles” by the end of the selection process.  I can not wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Now that I have my selections made,  the work to complete my vignette is on.  I snagged two fabulous yellow channel back chairs that are the starting point for my final look! They are in rough shape but nothing a little love and wood glue can’t fix. My mom has been over the past few days helping me repair the chairs, remove the damaged fabric pieces and giving them a fresh new look.

Now for a sneak peek of the pieces I have pulled for the vignette and the progress we have made on the yellow chairs. I have decided to go with a black and yellow color palette for the small space.  Stay tuned, I will show you more peeks of the final look and give you the details of the yellow chair update!

This beautiful cabinet and large desk will be refinished by Nicole Cullum by Modern Relics. Nicole has graciously offered to paint one piece for each of the designers! Her before and after section on her site is awesome.

Painting, sewing and high glossing have been the majority of my holiday weekend. I woke up this morning a bit sore but it is amazing how a few DIY projects and help you wind down from the daily grind. Here are a few pictures of the pieces I have been updating for the vignette. I can’t wait to show off more details on the yellow chairs, they are GORG!!

If you live in the Dallas area I’m sure that you have at least heard of or stopped by one of Leslie Prichard’s vintage chic stores.  Her first store, Again and Again is full of used pieces with fabulous bones just waiting to be re-covered and re-finished.  Leslie has a great eye and love all things vintage, especially pieces that are not mass produced. It’s hard to miss the bright pink house and if you in the market for a specific piece, things change around the store often so it’s hard not to find something.

Her before and after gallery is ahhhmazing, take a look at a few of my favorite transformations.    Images Via: Again and Again Facebook Gallery

Leslie recently completed the interiors of her Dallas condo and the space is currently being featured in FD LUXE’s February issue. A muted color scheme of white & pink  is mixed with soft gray, brown and rust orange accents. My favorite part of the condo is all of the glamourous details like oversized mirrors, metallic geometric wallpapers and her lamps are just gorgeous. All images via: FD LUXE

Vintage asian teak chairs in a polished cream finish, a commissioned mirror over the fireplace and off white linen wrapped shelves are the highlights of the living room. How about those yummy pink silk drapes, retro pendant (reflected in the mirror) and overall Kelly Wearstler feel that the room has?!

Milo Baughman brass chairs upholstered in iridescent vinyl snakeskine, lacquered linen vintage console from Karl Springer and that stunning bronzed iron based dining room table create a juxtaposition of styles in the dining room.

A vintage Henredon bar retains it’s original black finish and brass hardware, such a rare find and the overall arrangement of the space is classic and colorful.

Leslie’s favorite piece is the 1970′s Lane walnut dresser.

In the master, coral linens, Hermes blanket and a Kelly Wearstler inspired upholstered headboard create a space that isn’t too fussy. The texture and accessories like the Henredon nightstands and brutalist lamps from Nick Brock Antiques finish off the look.
