What's said in this clip
cake. The second element is seating. Placing two gorgeous accent chairs in this space with carved arms. The arms are dark. The detailing of the carved wood. These carved chairs add so much elegance to the space. It's a timeless style and they add so much elegance to the space. The white fabric that I placed on the chairs give it that transitional modern effect instead of having a print. Opposite side of the white chairs, I'm placing this gorgeous Kgnac bench. You remember when I bought this bench with this rug? Oh, she's amazing. It's just I couldn't have asked for a better entry hall. Simply amazing. Very, very simple. And it's just another contrast and play on color. These I think I purchased from Amazon and I will be able to link them. Cannot say enough about it. It's the right color. It's the warm tones. I'm mixing in the wood. It is the right height and it is ultra comfortable. I just sit here some mornings and just have coffee and just sit and relax and see outside. Fresh nature, the floral that's on the front porch. I'm just loving this space and this transition.
