Ohh Sit on a Portriat Chair [interior Design]

This is a great way to display photos and style your home. Ohh Sit is a company in Conneticut combining their love of photography with chic decor.  They use your photos, source out the chairs, and make some design magic. Loving these chairs!

Great right!?! They do pillows as well if you are afraid of commitment. Just toss them on the couch and you can switch them anytime.

 

 Is this stirring up some ideas? They ship domestic and international but we love a good DIY project and this could be one of those!  There are many ways to get a photo printed on fabric and you could upholster a chair yourself (or hire out).

 

Here are some resources to get your image on fabric:

Another piece is ready for a new home. This chair is solid wood with metal foot caps. Old. Stuffed with horse hair old. It was in need of some serious TLC.

All tags/markings are in tact. The upholstery is alligator embossed leather with original horse hair stuffing. Trimmed in upholstery nails. Local pick up only. Contact angela@lindODesigns.com for more information.
