Blue Ribbons, Gold Medals, White Knights

This was one shell of a chair:

And now it’s one helluva a chair!

(See what I did there?)

(I rhymed).

(But you already knew that).

(You’re so smart).

Beck at Beckwith’s Treasures went for the heart-fluttering combo of blue, white, and gold when she redid this chair and it looks fabulous.

Is there anything more classic than that color combination? Hardly. It’s such a snappy look. I dare to reason that it will always be in style. Has anyone ever looked a US sailor in uniform and thought, ‘Gee whiz, how outdated!” No. Of course not. This has never once happened in the history of the world and never will.

 

Such is the case with this dresser makeover from Kelly at A Swell Place to Dwell.

See? So SNAPPY! I want to redo everything I own in these colors right now.

 

Let’s start with the stairs. If only mine weren’t covered in carpet (pbtth!), I could start today.

Sage brought the blue and white party to her staircase with lots of paint and another vital ingredient …

 

… can you guess? 

You could do something similar with paint (which would take you the rest of your life) or wallpaper ($$$) or you could pop on over to Plaster & Disaster and see how she saved both time and money using fabric!
