Lots of serious inspiration to be found this week walking through the Ethan Allen Gallery. It was hard
to settle on one piece of furniture, but I have to admit you'll always find me lingering in the chairs! And what a classic is the Versailles Chair no matter the color you choose!
I fussy cut my lavender chair, continuing to cut out the back pillow and the cushion so I could dry emboss them with the Tim Holtz Paris collage folder. Perhaps you can see the loose back pillow has the word Paris across the top and the bottom is fleur de lis. Then I put it all back together, inserting the awesome Invoke Arts ticket...'Dare to Dream' into the seat cushion. The 'wallpaper' adds just the perfect amount of grooviness, don't you think? Tim Holtz tissue tape in a tiny harlequin pattern marks the baseboard of my room.
So I'd love to hear what you are dreaming about these days...I've kept a dream journal for quite a few years now...some of my dreams have gathered dust, some have taken wings and flown away ~fulfilled~, I am always dreaming up new ones...probably always will...thanks for the gift of your comments.

WOW that chair looks awesome Susan - so real!! I love the ticket you put in the seat. I also really love the harlequin baseboard. I have been dreaming about spring - will it ever really come again?

What an inspirational creation you have awed us with. The chair is sensational, I too enjoy furniture shopping or just browsing. Your selection of wallpaper and the baseboard are spot on. Thanks for sharing with us!
