I am so honored to have been asked to design a vignette this year for the second time! My space is huge (30″ x 15″) and I had a lot of ground to cover. The before and after pieces have been my favorite part of the design. Taking something that looks absolutely pitiful and seeing it transformed into a gorgeous piece that someone can bring home always makes me smile.

Here is a little bit more of a sneak peek of the overall space from our VINE app showing details that help pull it together. I can’t wait to share all of the final images of the space on the 18th!! If you are in Dallas, you must snag a ticket so that you get first dibs on all of the gorgeous pieces!

I recently shared the BEFORE & AFTER of the wingback chairs. You can see more HERE.  I can’t thank Megan Adams enough for donating the fabric.  Today, I wanted to show off the transformation of the round back chairs that are being used in my vignette.

BEFORE: They were a ratty yellow fabric, torn to shreds and in need of a major overhaul! But I loved their shape and knew that with a little love they could be come something chic.

AFTER: We snagged this textural ivory linen fabric from the donation fabric pile in the Dwell With Dignity warehouse but the chairs were screaming for a little something extra! So when we had a little extra navy fabric left over from the sofa update, I knew it had to become the contrasting cording….
