antique inspiration

As soon as I have room for it, I will inherit a gorgeous antique caned settee that was my Great Grandmother Kate's.

The last time it got re-upholstered was in 1984, the year I was born so it is in dire need of a little makeover.

It is a beautiful antique piece and I love the sense of history behind it.

Last week I spotted this lovely vintage loveseat from Jayson home & Garden and I

instantly fell in love with the concept and decided this would be the perfect inspiration for my antique piece.

I think that combination of pumpkin orange and emerald green is just so striking.

Do you have any family heirloom pieces that you've recently spruced up? If so I'd love to see them!
