The bedroom of the rear cottage
has a simple iron-frame bed with curtains of white cotton eyelet
backed in pink chiffon.
"Elegant, with a little funk," says Vaccari succinctly.
He further softened the bed with a padded headboard upholstered
in a pink-bordered vintage tablecloth.
Poised in front of the bed are what Vaccari calls his "I
Dream of Jeannie" chairs: a pair of fabulous, droll 1950s
pseudo-slipper chairs covered in a lime green, cream, and gold
silk sateen stripe.
He found them in an antiques store and will reproduce them for
his soon-to-debut furniture line.
