SHE'S PREPPY AND CLASSIC AND CREATES COMFORTABLE SPACES...HER DESIGNS ARE TIMELESS WITH A NOSTALGIC EDGE. I LOVE HER!!!!!..... AND HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNS BY NEW YORK BASED DESIGNER MEG BRAFF!!

BEFORE AND AFTER: VIGNETTE REDO!!
SO I KNOW IT WASN'T COMPLETELY NECESSARY.....BUT I REALLY WANTED TO REVAMP THIS LITTLE SITTING AREA.....IT WAS ONLY 3 TINY PIECES OF UPHOLSTERY-SO NOT A BANK BREAKER (OOPS, FORGOT THE BARSTOOLS-HAD TO REDO THOSE TOO!)....AND THE BLUE BENCH HAD KIDS HAND PRINTS ALL OVER IT..AND THE CORD WAS KINDA DATED......SO I HAD A GOOD EXCUSE TO EXECUTE MY NEW PLAN!...HERE IS THE OLD SPACE (AT CHRISTMAS TIME)
OLD BENCH WITH MY FUTURE TRIM DESIGN....USED MASKING TAPE....LOVE MASKING TAPE!

OLD SPACE
NEW CHAIRS!
NEW BENCH IN OSBOURNE AND LITTLE TEXTURED SHINY VELVET
THIS KITCHEN SPACE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE-ONLY ONE WINDOW.....BUT NEW SHINY VELVET ON BENCH HAS AN ILLUMINESCENT (IS THAT A WORD?) QUALITY THAT GLOWS-I LOVE IT!
