The Bohemian Settee

This lovely settee is the newest creation to hit the shop, and if I had a big enough boudoir she would have been coming home with me! This piece 'Rush' hits all eras, and marries all styles...wrapped up in luscious textures and colors. The body is a royal blue velveteen, with grassy linen piping, and framboise Ikat splashes. Custom boudoir, matching circular pillow adds just the right accent. I want theses pieces to last, to be usable, to be something not just for show, and what better way than to wrap the body in a velvet that only becomes more romantic with time!



But beyond the fabrics there is the gem of the antique frame itself. It's spindle details, and original casters date the piece to the 1910's/20's. It's been stabilized and reinforced to last another hundred years. She measures 51" long, 2ft wide, 30" tall (back), so she is petite, another feature hard to find in a settee.



So for all the ladies who have swooned over having that perfect boudoir piece, remember we can help you to achieve it...

Matmi Ikat Chair is pure love....

When i picked up this little 60's chair, I was in love with the shape, size and possibility! It had the perfect masculine silhouette, one of the many things I love about these mid century pieces, but it also screamed take a risk...and spice it up. I love the look and feel of raw silks, but also want my chairs to be pieces you can cozy up in with out all the fuss. I picked up a small amount of this green, vintage Thai Ikat fabric, also known as Matmi, and knew I could use it somehow as an accent in a chair. The black & white raw silk blend used in the seat has the durability that I love for daily use, and the Ikat has just the right amount of sophisticated color to shine. The little decorative reversable pillow pulls her all together.

The Matmi Ikat technique is also extremely fascinating and is very labor-intensive! From what I've read it requires great skill because the yarn has a tie-dye technique that happens before it is all weaved. I am so drawn to these bright, bold patterns, that feel timeless, organic, and vibrant. Email us at quotes@mignonnedecor.com, for a free review of a piece you are thinking of transforming! Remember my collection of fabrics grows daily, and I would love to help design a piece with you!

Mignonne's First in a Series

Just letting you know our first Upholstery Workshop was a blast!!! Tons of great fabrics to choose from, fun pieces redesigned to give them a new lease on life, free help with putting it all together. Oh and did we mention the mimosas and fromage ??EVERYTHING is better with mimosas and fromage!!





Mignonne's Free Upholstery Workshops will be a recurring event, taking place approximately every 6 weeks. Here's how they work:

1. To reserve your spot, you will provide us with a photo of your project piece (chair, ottoman, or the like) and a $25 non-refundable deposit, credited toward the cost of your finished piece.

2. Upon receipt, we review your proposed project and provide you with your estimate of project completion. Factors that will influence your cost include size of the piece, are you providing the fabric or are we, etc.

3. On the day of the event, you will receive free personal design assistance from Johnelle and her team. She will discuss your vision with you, review and select fabrics with you (if needed), advise on fabric placement, materials to be used (down or foam, as an example) and create your order with you. You will provide a 50% deposit of the total cost and, in usually 2 weeks, your new and amazing furniture piece will be completed and ready to pick-up with final payment. We also have delivery options, if that is required.

How you benefit:

**By participating in the workshop, you will enjoy free consultation and fabric scouting for your project (normally a service we charge for).

**Get inspired from our wide array of vintage and new fabrics, design books and prior Mignonne projects to review and select from.

**Don't forget the mimosas and fromage. ha!
