Refined Maximalist Office
Gorgeous thick alpaca 'confetti' fabric by Rosemary Hallgarten adds an unexpected cheeriness to these upcycled office chairs. Originally sourced on the 'free' section, they were stained orangey brown and destined for the landfill. Their redeeming quality: modern square lines, solid oak, solidly built and in solid condition. Just needed a little TLC to get them out of their masculine ways and with a little elbow grease (and a luxury fabric budget), we transformed these gems into a pair of lovely feminine office guest chairs welcoming all who enter this lady's lounge (aka home office). The HON filing cabinet, originally in it's industrial state of grey would not fit into the new 'girle' scheme of the updated office. Instead, we opted to source some graphical vinyl wallpaper and give it a refresh to help it fit in. As well, sourced a vintage onyx piece of stone from an old coffee table and had it squared-off, fit just to size, adding both an organic and luxurious element to the space. The Kate Spade ceiling light plays off the floral wallpaper (not shown here) and also adds a nod of 'girlie' to the peaceful adult girl room.
