we haven’t done a reader recommendation on d*s for quite some time and i thought it might be time to bring them back a bit. or at least in this case because i couldn’t resist posting these fab chair frames (so much potential!). d*s reader killorn o’neill bought these great chairs for $5 at a yard sale (i am so, so jealous) and is having a hard time deciding how to redo them in a fabric that is patterned but doesn’t compete with or overshadow the chair back design. killorn would like to paint them white and go with a navy fabric but i thought i’d open it up to you guys and see what you think? if you have a suggestion for killorn’s chairs just leave them (and any links to colors/fabrics) in the comment section below.

why suggestion would actually be for something soft. i’d suggest a benjamin moore color like “abalone”, “grey owl”, “winter white”, or “november rain” for the frame and then a pale yellow and white fabric (with a small-scale pattern) for the seats. but that could be just because i’m crushing on grey and yellow right now (again). but a white frame with a textile like the tan/white version of lena corwin’s field print could be nice, too.

[ps: speaking of print+pattern, bowie at print and pattern is looking for submissions for her new book! click here to check it out and send something in]
