I love anything in yellow! Beautiful job Jessica!

I love anything in yellow, beautiful job Jessica!

While the idea was lovely, that poor chair was practically destroyed by the ugly yellow paint. Just look at how pretty the wood was in the before picture. What a shame.

i love this color combo actually, and i usually don’t like it when people paint over wood since it’s tricky to pull off. this one is working for me though. mostly because the hue of acid-y yellow combined with the more natural tapestry color. i’m sure it gets alot of attention in the window.

Ooohh, we love Shoetopia here in the ‘Nati! It is such a great shop, we had a happy hour there with Edelman Leather and the ladies at Shoetopia were the best! Love it!

Way to go!! LOVE it! So neat to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary!! Very eye catching…

Now I know this post is about the furniture… but who made those grey and beige shoes at the front?? They are gorgeous!

Such a transformation. Bravo!

Love the color combination she choose. It goes great in that window!

Thanks for all of the wonderful words! We really did have a great time going yellow this spring…am already thinking about the fall season, and it’s only May ;)

p.s. Anna – the shoes are made by Terra Plana out of the UK.

So excited to see Cincinnati on d*s!! I noticed this window the other day – it makes the whole block look better!

i live in northside and LOVE shoetopia. great to see the mention on d*s. i noticed the chair and the new window recently, too. very nice. hooray for independent stores!

So nice to see a Cincinnati store (not far from my neighborhood) on your blog, Grace! Thanks!

I’m a huge fan of design critique, and I’m new to this site. So anything I say, please try not to take offense. So okay … I find the yellow to be rather sweaty and sticky looking. I loved the original chair and would have enjoyed a washed out color on the wood. Or bold color (not neon yellow) on the wood and a vibrant fabric to set it off. The existing fabric, though, works so nicely with the shoes in the window. But the yellow just doesn’t work. That said, I would certainly notice your window from afar. :o) And I love window design.

Cincinnati! My hometown! What an awesome store, and in my old neighborhood, too. Excited to see it online. (Her husband owns our favorite video store, too, sigh. We really miss them now that we’ve moved.)
