This antique chair was destined for the skip before Annie salvaged it. With simple paintwork and beautiful reupholstery, Annie was able to give the chair a new lease of life and a contemporary twist.

Colour blocking gives this antique chair a contemporary twist. The bold colour scheme on the chair – with different Linen Union fabrics used on both seat and back – is echoed in the room where the walls are painted with Wall Paint in Aubusson Blue.

The trim and curtain is Linen Union in English Yellow + Antibes Green. The seat back is Provence + Aubusson Blue and the seat is Emile + Graphite. The chair frame has been painted with Chalk Paint® in French Linen and sanded back for a light distress before sealing with Clear Wax.
