Gracious + Traditional Spring Home Finds.

The photo above stopped me in my tracks! Love the pink, the layers of pattern, the traditional and lived-in feel. So elegant. I was inspired to share a bit of our own progress on our home design projects, which continues slowly, and a couple of fabulous traditional home finds for spring, too. We are currently anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first of four occasional chairs for our family room. Our interior designer, Kelley Proxmire, had two skirted armchairs upholstered in this vibrant blue Thibaut fabric and I cannot wait to see how they came out. The other two occasional chairs will be in different shapes and patterns: Ballard’s spool chair upholstered in a fabulous blue gingham from Brunschwig and Fils and a slipper chair upholstered in this cheerful botanical print from Thibaut. These will stand in contrast with our green (!) couch, which ties in with our kitchen stools — the designer had them upholstered on the seat/interior in the same green, but had the back upholstered in a contrasting trellis pattern. She is so creative! We are still working with her to finalize rug (we think a big woven neutral), lamps, tables! It is so fun and I cannot wait for it to all come together, but everything takes time. We’ll get there eventually.

In the meantime, some fun little (and a few big) additions to welcome spring in a traditional, tailored, botanical-leaning way.
