Chair Reflections from 2018

This past year has been a whirlwind of activity, and I have so many favorites including makeovers and new chair designs. So, let’s get started!

Everyone by now should know that I have a love of authentic textiles and I did quite a few this year including these.

I just absolutely love these textiles and can’t get enough of them! I’m always excited when clients ask for them!

I also completed various projects filled with beauty, like these chairs below.

My favorite pieces to work on are settees, and I did several this year with this look below. It’s my favorite and makes quite a statement.

Even though its only been for half a year, my new line of chairs launched in late July and I’ve not looked back! There’s a little bit of stress mixed with fun that’s involved when selecting fabrics, and boy did I have both of those while designing this new line.

Some of them had embroidered fabric, too!

Who can resist the embroidery of this fabric???

And then, I collaborated with my daughter to bring you the Frida Chair Collection! You can read more about that by clicking here.

A Dining Room full of Fridas? Why not!

And if that weren’t enough, my assistant, Sydney, and I took a day trip to Marfa, TX to photograph the newest line of chairs, On the Wild Side!

We made new friends who helped us move the chairs around!

Whew! What a year! Which are your favorites? You know that I can never pick favorites… But I’m looking forward to new textiles this coming year and creating some new favorites for all of you!
