"When you realize that a beautiful interior has very little to do with objects and a whole lot to do with spirit, general well being and upliftment you find the soul of interior design. If you have respect for your surroundings and everything has it's perfect place you interact with your world differently you carry yourself differently. My father used to say that the state of your surroundings is the state of your mind. Look around your home, let your home be the foundation of your aspiration."

Reveal

So as some of you know I have been working on redecorating my living room and no it's not done yet!  But I thought I would give you a little peek at my fabulous vintage chairs that I had reupholstered.  So to remind you what they looked like before:


Not horrible but still needed some help




 And here's what they look like now with a little help from Dwell in the gate pattern
