Bohemian Chic + The Vanity Fair Vintage LifeStyle

“Little Uma” {picture directly above} is a carved french 19th century Rococo-style settee with it’s original turquoise patina. What makes her special and why I love the design house of Chair Couture, is their philosophy & passion to recycle French antiques and reupholster in bold modern or vintage flavored fabrics. What you get is a fabulous reinterpretation of bohemian whimsy + high fashion urban glam.
For the love of vanity fair ~ comes Marianne. This fabulous French country bed, Circa 1930, comes with it’s original gray-green patina + upholstered in one-of-a-kind “dandelion field” fabric.
