Stepford

I just redid these vintage Century Louis XV chairs for an auction.


I am donating them to benefit Volunteers in Medicine. I wanted to do something crazy but I was a little chicken.


These will be auctioned off to ladies who lunch so I kept it safe. I went with a look that I like to call Stepford in Spring.


I had the chairs painted Benjamin Moore's White Dove and ordered some of Peter Fasano's Kimoni.


Did I nail it?


I did not. Too too. I just had the upholsterer stick with the classic double welt. He loaded the chairs into my car and off I went.


I brought them home and had Merritt put them to the test.







Hoping they go for a bundle. They should.
Cause they're worth it.
