ikea henriksdal chair...

I'm back sharing another Ikea favorite today.

Oh my goodness, you guys, I couldn't believe it when I realized I'd never done a post
on the Ikea Henriksdal Chair. It's one of my go-to dining chairs that I always suggest to
clients for it's all around function, great style and adaptability.

Ikea Henriksdal Chair

Machine Washable Floor length slip cover is included
Solid Birch Legs
$89

As with all of Ikea's slip covered pieces additional covers are available.
Shorter slip covers are available for The Henriksdal in a variety of colors for $39.
This style gives it a more modern tailored look.

Take a peek at some of the ways you could incorporate them in a dining room or at a desk.
I love the idea of customizing them with a trim detail, or coordinating band at the bottom.

Yes, you can have white chairs in the dining room! If you've never tried slip covers,
Ikea's are great quality for the price, and launder nicely.

smitten with cullman and kravis and a winner...

First, the lucky winner of the Easy Canvas Print Giveaway is....

Wendy S. - Congrats!

I recently came across the gorgeous portfolio of Cullman & Kravis, I'm smitten with

their design and obsessed with the artwork they incorporate. I could pour over and analyze

these rooms and the intricate details for hours. Their goal is to achieve a modern traditional

aesthetic, using antiques alongside modern artworks, custom furniture and exceptional

textiles to create a complex, layered but always comfortable and never too formal space.

When you have time sit back with your favorite beverage and check out their

portfolio, it's like perusing your favorite design magazine. Here's a sampling for you...

And my favorite...

Enjoy!

guest post and giveaway...

Hope your weekend is off to a good start!

I'm popping in for a quick Saturday morning post to let you know I'm thrilled to be

over at Julia's @ Cuckoo 4 Design joining her Living Pretty with your Pets series here.

Julia's love and compassionate heart for animals is second to none, you can't help but

adore her when you read her touching stories of kindheartedness.

If you're a cat lover you'll be amazed the outdoor cat enclosure she created out of

compassion for her indoor cats!

If by chance you're not familiar with Julia, and think she's just a crazy cat lady,

think again! She was recently named a Top DIY blog by Domino, quite an impressive

honor and on top of that she's one of the sweetest in all the blogosphere! I'm always

blown away with her unique projects, you can check out her beautiful house tour here,

which is chock full of them! Here's a little peek...

A huge thank you to Julia for having Mikko, Rio and me!

One last thing before you head over to Cuckoo 4 Design, if you haven't

entered the giveaway for the beautiful canvas print you still have time!
