Green Machine Apartment!

I admit it: I'm a green velvet junkie. So I may need to rethink putting my new green velvet chair (found at my local thrift store in perfect condition, not even stinky) next to my green Kroehler loveseat ... there is such a thing as too much green, afterall. But I've never had a true armchair like this to snuggle up on - all my other thrift finds aren't nearly as substantial or comfy (I know, you're thinking of the white one pictured in my Makeover post, but in truth, the springs are gone and I had to build the seat up with blankets underneath ... I found it in the trash, remember?). See, my cat Dag is already checking it out (as he and his cohort Dinky do every time I bring something new in). You can just see the corner of my new Persian rug (will post better pic this week); it gives a bit of contrast.

SOLUTION: I'll move the blue-covered Barrymore loveseat where the green one is so it'll be the contrast between the two green pieces. Hopefully it won't look too weird symmetrical.

This post is dedicated to Lisa Buckland of Potato Skins Slipcovers in Toronto, and her star employee Susan DeSilva, who I had a great visit with recently researching for a column (that I'll link to once it goes online). Lisa is celebrating her 15th year in business and is known for her slipcovers that fit like second skins - they're amazing looking! Congrats Lisa! www.potatoskins.com
