Cabbage roses......

I just adore this little chair that spends it's time gracing the room of my daughter. My Grandmother purchased this in the late 1960's and it was covered in a lavender fluffy upholstery and the sweet curved metal was painted gold. My Father re-upholstered it for my second daughter around 10 years ago, and now it sits sweetly and proudly in my littlest girls bedroom. I have an absolute passion for cabbage roses and Laura Ashley. I found this gorgeous Laura Ashley print, I think from memory Bunched Roses? which is very similar to my all time favourite Clarissa, recently on a shopping expedition. I purchased the bedding and extra pillow cases, and thankfully one pillow case was enough to cover the whole chair. I am sooooo happy with the end result and the way that it compliments my daughters room. I love it when she climbs on top and seems so happy with her achievement! My daughter is named after my Grandmother, so I guess it is quite fitting that she be the one to have this delightful little chair.
