Don’t freak out that Emily gave this classical French style sofa an Indian inspired makeover. Marie Antoinette is not spinning in her grave. Emily was inspired by the scene in A Little Princess when Sara’s little attic room has been transformed with Indian decor, and named this sofa “The Raj,” which refers to a time when India was under British colonial rule between 1858-1947. The British began sending Indian decor items back home.
Who knew we would be getting a history lesson along with a funky old couch redo? I feel smarter already. Check it out on her blog BluBabes Create.
