Le NY Pied a Terre is underway

curtains

Just a quick few pics since some of the furniture and the curtains have arrived! LL wants the sofa recovered in a brown velvet with nailheads all around. I’ll miss the pink but it’s ripped and really does need a lift. I want a valance over the window, maybe I can convince her. As for the curtains, they are sheers with velvet applique and the anchors are 3 silk panels in one. Still need tons of stuff. Seems it’s always the same whether it’s a mansion or a tiny apartment!

    I think in pink….as the designer I would be giving a slight push toward the pink…but “give the lady what she wants”….(Marshall Field)

    I have a wonderful sofa posted on my sidebar…it’s brown with nailhead…I am consigning it at the moment at a boutique in Chicago….my heart flips with brown too…as a matter of fact, brown and that old vintage dirty pink make nice companions.
    I will be waiting to be able to feast on the finished project.

    Hello! This is looking gorgeous already! I am with you—I hope she will stay with the pink, but the brown has possibilities, too. I LOVE the curtains!

    Thank you for the update! This is so much fun to see one of your works of art in progress! Your blog is just FABULOUS! :-)

    Looking good – I love the big tri-paneled mirror “thing” with drawers!!! I have a scallop backed chair similar to one photoed – its pea soup and ripping but I can’t bare to recover it!
