In addition, I've always wanted to attach a seat cushion to a chair with the lovely ballet-inspired ties.
The desk chair in our living room beckoned for this change...

I sewed a simple seat cushion for this vintage chair to cover the tan caning and make it a bit more comfortable for seating. I embellished with tiny little ruffles and long ties for the back legs, attaching them ballet slipper style.
The pink ballet slippers will find their way into my daughter's room eventually, but for now I set up a 'French Chic' styled display inspired by JDL. The vintage silver-plated pedestal was a recent thrift store find, which I topped with pretty ribbons and a ceramic rose.
The display adds a lighter touch to this corner of the living room.
I'll be sharing the new white cushion at White Wednesday this week.
Hope to see you there amongst all the dreamy white lovelies!

The ties are ever so much prettier than the short ones that are usually on cushions. Great idea. ♥♫

What a great chair cushion! The ties make it really original and fun! Sounds like you should be in Jeanne d'Arc Living:)
You did a wonderful job, Susan! I wish I could sew!
I love all the silver you have and that pedestal is gorgeous. Hooray for you on finding the slippers!

Beautiful ties, gorgeous post. ~~Sherry~~
Perfection! Just dreamy. I too love ballet, ballet slippers and that dreamy pink that goes with it all.
P.S. I went to Home Goods on Sunday and got that huge cloche. So maybe your HG store has some in too?

I could dance around that vanity all day, what a great place to sit and write, sending out a hand written note to a friend knowing the place you sit will inspire.
Thank you for your beautiful visit.
I am inspired by your site, finding a soulful place to rest.

The ballet slippers are beautiful! They look so beautiful in your pictures. Love the vanity too!

Oh I just love your new chair cushion!
Last Monday I did a tutorial on a pink party favor which you might enjoy.
Happy Pink Saturday!
that is to funny... It is such a pretty scarf, just love it !!
I've had this weird attraction to ballerina slippers all my life.. and yet, have not caved in to collecting any. I wonder why? After seeing your lovely vignette and photos, it makes me want to run out and find some of my very own! Thanks for sharing! :)
Happy Pink Saturday, Susan. I am so glad you joined us.
It is all so pretty, and thank you for sharing this with us. You have a lovely blog.
Can anyone tell me more about the scarf? I went to my local Target and couldn't find it. Thanks!
That chair is just the cutest, I am in love with the little ruffles and the ties. I guess I have some more sewing to do.
