A Peek...

Ralph Lauren

...at the fabric that will be gracing the wing chair in my media area.

We have an open plan, casually styled media area off the kitchen/dining zone. With a sisal rug, a rattan sideboard (complete with model boat - a freebie from one of my suppliers because she says I am the only customer of hers who doesn't whinge and complain!), books and shells scattered on a driftwood side table, I thought an elegant chair in the corner might compliment the whole scene rather nicely. I have an L shaped cream leather lounge defining the other corners. It's contemporary but with traditional elements - feet, stylish backing - and it is easy to clean. It has navy and white nautical cushions scattered amongst plain beige linen cushions (left overs from the study sofa) so I think the blue and white wing chair will tie in nicely. I am also having a gorgeous lampshade made for my artichoke table lamp. The wing chair will have to have a Hamptons style brushed silver floor reading lamp I think. I can picture it, I just have to find it. Can't wait to show you this room when it's done.....but it might be a bit of a wait. All good things......

Jacobean prints are my absolute fave, so timeless. A lovely choice but really do you ever make a "not lovely" choice A-M?

We are on the same wavelength here! Island Key Floral is my all time fave RL fabric...EVER! I wanted some to do some cushions for the sofa and was trying to sneak the extra meters past Mic to do my wing chair...didn't work!!!
Can't wait to see the room.

Thanks for your lovely comments girls. Ness, I am so impressed that you even know the name of it. I just picked it out ('er that one') of a line up that my interior designer friend waved under my nose ages ago and it has been sitting in my inspiration box with tile remnants and colourbond tablets , waiting for a piece of furniture to wrap itself around! I also have a remnant of another patterned navy Ralph fabric that we will make a contrasting cushion out of. Pattern on pattern... she's talking me into it! We're just organising the upholsterer now. Fun stuff! A-M xx
