We Love The Laundress & The Laundress Loves Us!
Lindsey Boyd of the Laundress has a clean approach to living, LITERALLY! The crisp, whites she helps to protect with her line “The Laundress” are through out her living space.
I am thrilled to be helping Lindsey as she prepares for her new baby girl. True to her taste, Lindsey steered white when it came to creating a rocking chair for the quiet nights and early morning days when she sooths baby Chloe by rocking her to sleep.

- “THE BEFORE”
To stay in Lindsey’s style we chose an antique wing chair and repurposed it the way that only Tiger Lily’s could. We added a swivel to the base of the chair to make it rock, and reupholstered the existing frame in a white Belgium Linen.

- “THE AFTER”
The outcome was fantastic. We tied together the room by adding a decorative bolster in the fabric Lindsey has on her roman shade.
A Few Tips:
- When looking for a chair to repurpose into a swivel rocker, make sure the base has a low center of gravity. If you take a high legged chair, you will loose quite a bit of the height when you cut off the legs.
- Choose a fabric that works in your space and plenty of it. To conceal the swivel rocker, the chair will need to be skirted.
- Think ahead. Just as we repurposed the wing chair to be a swivel, someday the chair might find another home in your house. Using a neutral fabric can help in the transition.
