Do you love all things retro? Well then this is the place for you! I revamp retro home furnishings, taking them from mod to modern as well a creating a few new things of my own.
I love all things retro, and a chrome table is a HUGE part of the retro look. I have a lot of new furniture mixed in this room as well, so I needed a way to update the look of the table. Quick solution... give it some color!
OK, so no one really uses telephone tables anymore, but I really love the look of them. This one had previously been painted and reupholstered, but it was in a very drab grayish brown... not my look. I added it to the sun porch and painted it a bright sunny yellow to spruce up the room!
I have always loved the look of wicker furniture, but it is very hard for them to not look dated. The last thing I wanted was to have old looking furniture in a house of mod stuff. I chose one kind of funky bright fabric and paired it with something a little more laid back in order to stick with a slightly more tradional sunporch look.
I tried to come up with a way to bring some color to my patio area. It is surrounded by hosta beds and everything is green. I love my hostas, but I wanted to brighten things up a bit. I chose a fabric that brought a little of my interior style to the great outdoors.
It wouldn't be my house if it didn't have color! In an attempt to add life to a grey and tan room, why not bring in some orange? And the records... a magazine rack.
This chair was purchased at a garage sale. It was one of the ugliest things I've ever bought! It was a gold stripe vinyl, with ivory legs. The only thing wrong with it now... I don't have a second one.
This bar stool was found with the original vinyl seat as is. It was in mint condition. The back was a different story. It was falling apart, scratched up, and in your typical walnut finish. A little paint and some determination later, it is much improved.
