I have a dilemma. Just when I thought I could not get enough of this oh-so-chic dining room...
[posted about it here]
I received this LOVELY LITTLE SURPRISE from Laura of FIFI FLOWERS...
Is it wonderful or what? It happened so fast...I saw her comment on my post and in a few short days she emailed me this glorious painting. [Husband be aware: Someday I must build this room. It is perfect for our family, and now I've seen it in two different color variations and adore both.]
FIFI FLOWERS DID SOME REVAMPING OF THE ROOM:
- a slight color scheme change
- added panels to create more warmth
- swapped banquette fabric to a solid for simplicity
- added an element of surprise by covering two chairs with fabric that matches the panels
- threw in some stripes on the upper window treatments to bring it all together
WHAT WAS HER INSPIRATION?
She says, "A little colorization modification inspired by Osborne & Little"
WHERE CAN YOU FIND HER?
You can visit Fifi Flowers HERE . There are many more goodies where that came from.
Merci, Laura for bringing some cheer + loveliness into this girls life!
Simply Superb!
Merci beaucoup! Very nice! Let me know when you do the room... or any others... we can put our heads together and come up with WOWs! Have a great day! Fifi

Very cool post! I love the painting! If I can't do the room (yet)- maybe just hang the painting in my dining area! Guests will see my ultimate goal...
LOVE IT! Super original!

Fifi is HARD to define... she's an artsy girl... and a jack of many trades!

Wow, I am so impressed by Laura's painting. She directed me over here because I just posted about banquettes today. I secretly want one in my house too :) Lovely blog, by the way.
