Some of you may remember this post about the french style icy blue vintage davenport I found on a recent trip out junking with a friend. For a variety of reasons, this piece of furniture captured my heart.
I simply could not let it go.
After some rearranging, it is now the focal point of my once-formal-living-room-turned-office.
I am in love...
The ruffly throw hides her most apparent imperfection.... a dime size discoloration.
The sweet floral pillow with the slightest hint of blue was made by a dear friend. I love the vintage floral fabric!
While I was at it, I tweaked a few other things including adding some sweet little rosettes to this lampshade.
I cut the rosettes off of a shirt and just hot glued them on!
The damask artwork is simply a piece of fabric stapled to a three dimensional frame...
To fit the davenport into the space, I had to angle my desk and make it a little off center...
I stood on a ladder to get this aerial shot...
So when I sit at my desk working, I now have a view of my davenport and the outside!
I am so glad I decided to keep it! It makes me happy every time I look at it!!

That is a beautiful room and what a great find. Stopping by from Cottage Instincts. Your office is lovely and the davenport will be a great addition and a comfortable spot to relax.
I am so glad you kept that davenport! It is so wonderful and I love it in your space. The pillows and accessories are perfect.
I love your office, Polly! So bright and shabby and lovely...I bet you spend a lot of time in there.
Polly, that looks like the same fabric of the sofa I found and sold during the big show this past Spring. It looks great there.

Nice room It is so much fun when you find something that change
Hey Polly. Thanks for stopping by the blog. I would actually go to Kane instead. Most of my great friend dealers are there and it is every month- 1st weekend of the month. Elkhorn WI is a great flea market too, over 500 dealers- but only 2 more times this year. Grayslake is pretty small. Kane has some junk- but the hunt is fun. I am working on my library right now so loving the blue/grey. It's my new paint color too!
It's soooo feminine. I could live with that look in my home if Hubby would accept his feminine side a bit more.. LOL But he won't. *sad face*

Polly, I want to keep everything I buy!!LOL Your sofa looks so pretty in the room. It's all so feminine and sweet. Love the desk- so organized, too! Mine is so messy right now- I don't know how I am finding things these days. Your lampshade with the rosette is adorable. hugs, Sue
Beautiful room!!!! Should be in the Where Women Create book! Thank you for sharing Polly. I still have some roses I bought from you that I haven't decided what I want to do with yet. Look darling on the lamp shade.
Ooh I love it Polly! How do you keep your workspace so tidy!! I just moved into my craft room and I'm contantly cleaning up!
