The Slipper Chair...

Martha Stewart - Slipper Chair - I love this feminine version

As defined in Merriam-Webster: "An armless upholstered chair
with short legs"

The slipper chair was originally used as a small bedroom chair in the early 19th century, since then this compact, versatile staple has been employed by an array of design icons...

David Hicks often used the slipper chair in his work

HOW SWEET....

A collection of my favorite little girl's rooms...
Here's why....
1. Of course, because they are not too matchy-matchy, or thematic
2. They can be tempered-refined (if needed) and lived in for years
3. They're not too sticky
4. They're infused with an array of prints, furniture, forms (not predictable)

LOVE - THE WINDSOR SMITH WAY

I am currently smitten with the work of interior designer, Windsor Smith,
she very creatively crafts homes with a unique, blend of classical and modern elements.
Her designs have a sophisticated air but remain extremely inviting.
Windsor's talents extend beyond interior design, she has also
developed a furniture, rug and fabric line!!
