Paint The Town Red

March 11th, 2010

Remember how I mentioned that we found the perfect-sized settee at the Melrose Trading Post Flea Market this past Sunday?  Well here it is, in all of its red, over-the-top glory.  While we certainly didn’t have our hearts set on the color, once I noticed the intricate pattern and wood work, I was sold.  I love having a piece of furniture that makes a statement and I’m now on the hunt for some quirky pillows.   Any recommendations are very welcome!

  4. I adore this red settee! It’s just perfect, and I went on a little hunt for you to find some really interesting, graphic pillows that I think would really pop against that red.
