Carved Sunflower Chair

A friend had this Monterey style chair in his home for years.  It was actually part of his father's dining set from the 1930's.  By the time I acquired it, the dull dark finish had splashes of paint all over.  I gave it my signature hand rubbed grey wash. The wood took the paint in a beautifully unique way and the carved sunflower on the chair back was revived and more beautiful than ever. The seat was recovered in new batting and fresh cream fabric.

A Beautiful Place to Write

I love the simplicity of a writing desk.  Room for a laptop and a large curved front drawer for essentials perched atop beautiful Queen Anne legs.  Just imagine a high society maven going over this years gala invitation list.  Top it with a few silver framed photos and a lamp and it goes perfect in any living room or bedroom. A distressed grey finish and antique drawer pull complete the styling. 36.5"W x 19"D x 30"H
