It even has its own climbing roses.
The best part: real windows with real curtains. We hung them 'backwards,' that is, with the fabric facing out so that it showed better from the outside.
The wallpaper and fabric for the curtains were both Ralph Lauren.
Even hanging this way, you can still see the plaid through the lining and the ruffle around the edges stands out more. I don't know about you, but after I saw the finished 'house' I wanted to move in. The only problem for me was I was a bit too tall. Okay, a lot too tall. Still, it was so inviting and sweet that I wished I were a little girl again.
I got this chair, free from a client, and since it was summer at the time, I slipcovered it in white duck cloth. I have always thought, though, that just as we change our wardrobes according to the season, that we should do the same with our furniture.
Come winter, I made the chair a new 'dress' in a darker, more wintery print. Ideally, each piece of furniture should have 4 different 'outfits', one for each season. Of course, the problem then becomes, where and how to store all those extra slipcovers. The reality is most people have just one slipcover for each piece, which is just fine. The other thing I sometimes do is make extra cushion covers, as these are what generally need to be washed more so than the base, and it is far easier to wash just the cushion covers than the entire slipcover.
