Help

These limon faux leather party girls need a new dress for the dance.



The only things I'm insisting on are ebony stained legs & nickel nail heads -- the rest is open for discussion. Linen? Leather? Ikat? Stripes? Send me your thoughts. Please.

  2. Honestly? I kind of like the yellow, unless it's in bad shape. It's really rather striking and hip!

  3. Gray -- I know, aren't they magic? I don't want to mess them up. I'm leaning toward vintage blue & white ticking...

    Shari -- Totally agree on current covering, but unfortunately there is some unsightly damage to the limon in highly visible areas...

  6. so funny... i didnt even see your comment... and we still think alike! i love mine... (similar shape) and have never been able to sell them.. i did horizontal stripe, they had espresso brown legs (original) and no nails... just piped in ticking... it is our favorite wide engineered stripe... do you remember them?

  7. Pam, welcome back from CO! I remember the scaled-back ticking wing chairs from waaaaayyyy back, but I don't remember these. If you still have, could you send a pic? Would love to be reminded!

  12. Oh how fabulous are these!!! Leather would be nice (but maybe too pricey?) but whatever you chose go bold! They are statement pieces. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
