There is a spot in the condo that Chris and I have been wanting to put a vintage poster. Here are a couple I liked on Art.com. A couple have pink in them…not sure if Chris will let that slide….one more spot of pink and he might freak!
Wallpaper Wednesday: Green
Blair Waldorf Office
Sunday I got caught up on some of my shows, yes that means Gossip Girl. I can’t help it I crave the drama. Anyway this week they showed Blairs new Waldorf Designs office. The interiors were a little slice of heaven.
Check out the Designer’s Page here.
Anyway I figured I would try and recreate. Wouldn’t you just love to work here everyday?

Upholstering with Coils – take 2
So this weekend I finally had a bit of time to work on my upholtery project a bit more (you can see my last post here). With the right size coils it was much easier this time.
Near the arms of the chair there were a couple tricky corners. I used a second nail for these ones to tie off the ropes. It worked well to act as an anchor.
In the start of each tie I anchored each with 2 nails. Pound the nails in slanted away from where you are pulling that way it gives you extra leverage and the nail is certain to stay more.
I think one lesson on this round was I still need to push the coils down harder next time. But for my first time doing it – I think it is ok.
After I created the cross overs next I had to put them in diagonally.
Each time another row was tied down it got easier and I was able to get the coils tigher.
For the first time I say it went better than expected. Hopefully next chair goes even better!
