Remember this chair? Before - non descript. Now transformed to an art decor piece with character. Note how the red piping coordinates with the zebra's painting behind. Cover for toss pillow has 2 sides to it. Solid red when there's a need for attention and matching print with pipings when in a slightly more subtle mood ;-p
