Pendleton Chair Inspiration

Yesterday my sister-in-law posted this pic on instagram.

My response is pretty clear and warranted.  That chair is amazing.  Further stalking shows that is a fixture at Under the Needle Tattoo in Seattle.  I can’t get it out of my mind!  My love for Pendleton is deep.  A couple weeks ago my friend Lindsey picked up a couple of chairs for me at Goodwill. I need to get them from her soon, and now I’m thinking that this style could be a great way to go on the re-upholstery.

There are lots of Pendleton and Hudson blankets on ebay, but is it terrible to cut one up just to reupholster something?  I’m kicking myself for not buying a patched Hudson last year at a thrift shop in Port Townsend – it was only $25 and it would’ve been perfect for something like this!

What do you guys think? Worth using a blanket for or should I find a similar geometric pattern at the fabric store?

Currently Coveting: Cabin Cozy

Just saw this 700 square foot cabin from Mountain Living, and instantly fell in love with the property. The views, the coziness, but the brightness from those windows. I read a book a while ago that was written from Ernest Hemingway’s first wife’s point of view, called “The Paris Wife”. She writes about spending time in the mountains and feeling healthy, fit and happy from breathing the fresh air daily, eating well, and drinking wine in the evening by a fire.  This cabin makes me think of cozying into a blanket, reading a good book, and sipping tea in the morning. I picture hiking, and fly fishing during the day, and then drinking wine and talking around the fire in the evening. Everything about this small foot print space is gorgeous (the styling certainly helps with that).

Get the cozy look with these blankets.
