Go Fourth...And Conquer

I have been trying for quite some time to use this traditional wingback chair in a more contemporary scene. This is my attempt to overcome that pesky challenge...

Happy 4th of July!
The Goods: Sofa and wingback chair are ebay finds; the coffee table is Minimodernistas; the throw pillows are Minimodernistas and Ikea (red/white stripe); All other accessories are ebay finds, DCWV, Tim Holtz, the girls' paperie, ReMent and Plan Toys.

    This is great. Patriotic, but not fussy.

    Been following your blog for a while but finaly found out how to put in on my favorite blog list ;-)

    I have just bought a modern dollhouse (it will arrive at the end of this month) the Lake View from The Dolls House Emporium :-)

    I want to thank you for the great inspiration that you give me and all the links that are so helpfull while I am on the search for modern/contemporary miniatures!!

    Warm mini hugs from Greece,
    Jollie

    Wing back chairs are always tricky in modern scenes. Regardless of the upholstery I think the dark stain on the legs always make them look vintage-y. I think you've incorporated it into your scene beautifully though.
    Hope you had a great 4th of July celebration =0)

    Hey---is it weird for you to wish me Happy 4th considering...? Ha ha! Chuckles. I took the easy route with the wingback this time, but I will try again with that chair...Hmm

    I just love it! I love the patriotism, the simple enduring red-white-and-blue harmony, and the fun little decorative elements. I could live in that space.
