Maybe it's the fact that I've been partaking in several flat viewings in the last week or so which has caused me to have a severe case of mental furniture fantasising, but even so the real deal in sexy vintage French chairs is way out of my price range. I just love seeing what people have done to them! The crazy fabrics and amazing colour schemes i've perused during my chair stalking evening were just so original, i can't help but fall in love with them. If you're lucky enough to be a master of upholstering then the world is your oyster with these beauties, just check out some of my favourites below.
Yes, some of these examples are verging on being a little bit Elton John, but that's the beauty of them, they're a combination of French style and English eccentricity and let's face it the French might have elegance, but when it comes to being original, us Brits always come in first place. If there's any way of entwining these two things then bloody hell i'm sold! (It would be like if David Bowie and Audrey Tatou had a baby!) In fact, so much so, that this evening i'm going to start work on my own homage to the French chair in the form of a teeny, tiny chair brooch. Will keep you posted on that one!
