I'm working on a few items inspired by my recent trip to France. When I visited Versailles, there was one room in particular that really wowed me. It was called The Louis-Philippe Family Room and was done in shades of lemony yellow. This room was essentially a game room for the king & his family, complete with game & embroidery tables & padded chairs & sofas.
I've decided to make a line of chairs (3 in all) reminiscent of various places I visited in France. There will be a Versailles chair, a Giverny chair & a Metro bench. So, how to create a modern version of this gilded Versailles room (& for a child)? I've been searching for the perfect fabric to make a seat cushion with (the seat back will echo the real chairs). Real damask is a little fussy & not practical for a child. Bingo, I think I've found it -- in 100% cotton, machine washable & updated for this century!
