I love how they turned out and I will now have some fun playing around with the display. I gathered some things from my old bookcase and weeded out others.
Here is a before
Sarah Richardson used a very similar one to mine, in season 4 of Sarah's house. Her price $225 for one, my price $70 for two! And we live in the same shopping market.
After I took the photos, I realized that the hippo looks like he is taking a bite out of the bamboo :)

ReplyDeleteThe fabric on your chair goes really well with the pattern in the bamboo...
