CUSTOMER PAD: BIANCA'S LIVING ROOM

Extraordinarily talented stylist, Uptown Country Home customer, and best friend Bianca Elliott wheeled and dealed at a local antique mall for this new painting for her living room. Her retro chair, with original vintage leather upholstery, is a find from when she first moved in. We painted it purple, her signature color.

CUSTOMER PAD: Material Girl's Dining Room

While I was away, Emily Johnston of Material Girls, sent me pretty pictures of her dining room...complete with Frantiques sconces and our fave pink teapot. For more Frantiques sconces, click here. And for the bubblegummiest of all teapots, click here.

OK I'M BACK
