Cranberry Checks and a Bit of Whimsy...

A client from Buffalo contacted me and sent this photo of her living room.  

She wanted a "whimsical-style" table to go in between her two chairs and mentioned a "MacKenzie-Childs-style" look.

We agreed that this solid cherry table would work in between these two lovely chairs.  This adds a drawer of storage and still allows her two levels for display, and is not as long:

We sent many emails back and forth, deciding on colors, style, design….

….I primed and painted the table in a light sand color….

…and added checks onto the drawer….

It's always a challenge when working with only 2 colors to make it funky and whimsical...

…One stripe on the top was not enough…but the stripes on the side and back worked well.

Gold trim really finished off the edges of the drawer and trim on the table.

Cream dragged throughout the stripes and checks added dimension:

Gold and cranberry polka dots added some more fun….

…and a tassel finished off the drawer:

Additional stripes were needed on the top...

…and here is the before and after:

I think this will add some "flair" between her new chairs and give her the look she was searching for!
