New Settee

17 Apr New Settee

I found this settee at an estate sale this weekend and fell in love.  Originally purchased for Gypsy Soul, I broke my “don’t bring it in the house” rule and swooned when I saw it in my entryway.

Of course, with the frilly mirror, I thought the curly frame of the settee may be too much.  Perhaps switching it out for an abstract painting would be best?  (I threw the vintage bag – aka my new summer pool bag, estate sale $1 – in for extra awesomeness.)

Like the painting?  Meet the amazing artists.

Seriously, having kids is like having an abstract art factory.  It can deliver daily, it’s awesome.  Quite the upkeep though.

I fell more in love with the settee when I saw it was dated 1925.  The original sky blue velvet upholstery is pretty stunning, too.  But is it better than my antique auditorium seats?  What do you think?  (If you need a reminder of what my entryway looks like, click here)

Which would you choose?

Want your own cotton candy beard?  Simple.  Go to your brother’s baseball game and charm other mothers into giving you lollipops.  Make sure you get their stickiness all over your face.  Then charm your grandfather into buying you your first cotton candy.  The End.
