Recently she sent me some pics of some chairs that she restored. I was shocked when I saw the before and afters.
Airdo has always loved design. She was an interior design major in college and I was always so amazed by her design projects. I was hit with a wave of jealousy and awe every time I stepped foot into her and my friend Rachel's apartment. They had such a mix of fun, electic and vintage things all thrown together perfectly it felt like such a home!
Not only does her chic style show itself in her interiors but also in her clothing style. She really is just a little Italian bundle of style and eclecticness!

I wanted to show you her before and after chairs!
BEFORE:
And
AFTER:
Aren't the before and after amazing! Blake lives in South Florida and I love how the fabric and paint of the chairs reflects that tropical breezy look without it being too much beach.
I thought it would be fun to open up the comments for questions for Blake. I mean obviously leave a comment complimenting her design if you have no questions but if you have anything about design or dress you want to know, say a do-it-yourself question or anything really ask away!
Peace,









WOW those chairs turned out amazing! I wish I knew how to sew/reupholster. Great job, Airdo!!
ReplyDeleteI love these! I can't even sew a button but this makes me want to learn. I love the colors and style and I bet they would look great in GRITS' house hahaha!!
ReplyDeletewow, did she reupholster those herself?! seriously talented!
ReplyDeleteso i do in fact have a question for blake... how do you make those tufted? (ha, is that the word??) like do you have to use a big needle?!
Okay, I am in South Florida too and I totally want to know where this person lives! I NEED her to come to my house and show me a few things. I would LOVE to learn how to restore things. I have an old chair that I'd like to recover (actually, a few of them) - antiques. But I have no clue where to begin???
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I actually have the same question as Katherine re: tufting. I must learn how to do this for a headboard.
ReplyDeleteWow, they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteStunning!! I love it!!!!
