Frantiques repainted her vintage TV stand in her family room a pretty periwinkle (it was yellow in her last apartment), and Lydia's record collection sits in a Frantiques Gold Vintage Magazine Stand.
Genius move how she took her old patio furniture and made it the little sitting area in her living room. All her accessories and frames are from Uptown Country.
More Frantiques and a special-ordered blue coral needlepoint bench! (Smaller styles here.)
To-die-for Anthropologie dresser and hardware.

And another J.Grumbles Original painting and a Frantiques bookshelf for her pretty bags. Thank you Lydia!

BEFORE AND AFTER: HANNAH'S CHAIRS

If you are an Uptown Girl Blog reader, you know Hannah of Hannah Abney Designs loves robin's egg blue. And you may or may not have picked up on the fact that she also loves chairs from my posts here and here. She also bought this one. These pics are from the chairs she found at a little antique store in Washington, DC , and sprayed white and had upholstered. I love them. They look like they are about to give me a hug.

FAUX BAMBOO CHIPPENDALE CHAIR LOVE
About two seconds after reading Jonathan Adler's book, I became obsessed with the faux bamboo chippendale chairs he uses from room to room in his design. (above picture is an example). You can buy them for $495-550 each here, but if you are me, you cannot buy them there or your credit card will max out and you won't be able to eat for four months, so off I went on the hunt for the faux bamboo chippendales of my dreams (for less). The hunt lasted eight months. I would go to the shoe department at Barneys and pretend to try on shoes so I could sit in them (Adler designed the Dallas Barneys and used his chairs). I became so infatuated with these chairs I even painted a picture of one. And then it happened. I found them featured at an upcoming estate sale. Six of them. I knew my friend Hannah was looking for two (and I needed four), so we got to the sale first and got to the chairs first and mission accomplished. You don't want to know how much of a bargain we got because if you bought the Adler ones full price you will cry.
Hannah, of course, painted hers robin's egg blue because if Hannah could find a robin's egg food coloring she would only eat robin's egg-colored food, and if robin's egg blue was a town she would move there. She secretly wishes she was a bird so she could actually create robin's eggs because she loves it so much.

DIY UPDATE: MOM'S LAUNDRY ROOM
I told you I would find a pic of mom's DIY laundry closet after I showed you mine on this post here, so here is hers:
BEDS WITH BENCHES
Remember this article from Domino about beds and benches? That is when the search for the benches at the foot of my bed started. Found them, covered them in pink.
How cute would the blue coral ones be at the foot of a white bed? And coral blue is available here.
Check the foot of your bed. Most likely its vacant. That means you may just need need two benches. Or one long one like Carrie on Sex and the City.

DIY: THE EVOLUTION OF MY LAUNDRY ROOM/CLOSET
When I moved in it was just an empty closet to the left of the stairway.
Then I moved in and it was still an empty closet next to the stairway and I was doing laundry at my mom's house or my neighbor's.
When Santa Claus brought a washer and dryer this year, I ripped off the doors and painted the inside of the closet and turned it into a "laundry bar." The washer and dryer are behind the white curtains, and all the laundry supplies are in the robin's egg canisters. With, of course, the guidance of my mom, we had a piece of white counter cut at Home Depot and laid it on the washer/dryer (they had to be front load). Then, Frantiques hemmed the curtains to be shorter and I hung them on a shower curtain rod. I think the mirror is key in making it look bigger and more like a bar. Mom did the same thing but hers has a chandelier inside. I'll try to get a pic.
