Vintage chairs are a particular weakness of mine, so I could not pass up this unique design challenge!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I selected an elegant <a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/40954/vintage-slipper-chair-in-yellow-velvet">vintage slipper chair</a> in yellow velvet as my inspiration, then paired it with equally bright new pieces from <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/">Bassett Furniture</a> that had a classic or vintage feel to them. An over-dyed Persian style carpet, a Robert Allen watercolor-like fabric, and an abstract knife gel giclee combine for a rich and colorful palette. The large scale upholstered bed adds visual balance to the space by remaining neutral in color.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Often times I am working with clients who want to incorporate a much loved piece, like a vintage chair, into their plans for a renovated room. The key is to make all the pieces, old and new, look as if they are speaking the same language. Repeating the shape of a leg, duplicating the finish color, or choosing pieces that seem to be from a similar time period, helps to bridge the gap from the past to the present. Including a modern twist, like these deeply saturated colors, keeps the space looking fresh.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you are looking to add some lively pieces with vintage patina to your newly designed spaces, check out the <a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/decorative-objects">decorative objects</a> that are also available via the Chairish site ... </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/40918/vintage-fretwork-green-wooden-tray">Vintage Fretwork Green Wooden Tray</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" width="161" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/41064/mercury-glass-candlestick">Mercury Glass Candlestick</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/42639/bone-china-white-swans">Bone China White Swans</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
