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.)

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.

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

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.

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