I love these beautiful color combinations and mix in use of materials. I am really inspired to change my house entirely.

As I mentioned earlier, there are going to be few changes at B Notes. And this one is going to be my favorite I think: B Notes Books. First up: #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso.
This book is a must read for ambitious girls. Sophia takes you on a colorful journey through her life, from dumpster diving for free bagels to a multi million dollar business. But this isn't a cinderella story about a girl who is struggling to find her path and ends up with a flourishing business. It is a brutally honest story about making mistakes, working endless long hours and passion for one particular project to make it work.
What I find cool about Sophia is that she is really honest about the way she build her business. It is a testament for all ambitious girls anywhere, if you have that prestigious degree or not (particularly when you don't have one) you can create your own success in the way you feel comfortable with. Because in this society success is a measuring tool, but we all use different tools to measure it and that is what you should believe in.
This book will definitely will give you the kick in the ass you need to start your own adventure! Go #GIRLBOSS. Need your own copy now? Buy it here.

This is my favorite find at a flea market. I wasn't looking for a new chair, just browsing around a little bit. But then I discovered this beauty tucked away in corner of a big garage. And the best part? It was only 25 euros. It is in very good condition, the nails are all still in there, the fabric is very good, no rips anywhere. And it is even comfortable to sit on. At first, I was doubting the color of the fabric a little bit. But now I feel it just works, or let's just say, I made it work. As I am not that handy in upholstering a chair.
Even though I could have used this chair as an extra chair for my dining table, I use it as an accent chair in my home. I placed it in my bedroom where I keep books on it or other ornaments I like, for example a Chinese fan (honestly: sometimes the chair functions very well as closet). But mostly I respect it as a beautiful ornament.

And I love these carved details
I was inspired to write about my favorite accent chair by the team over at Chairish.com. Chairish.com is a platform where you can buy and sell vintage furniture, decor, jewelry and accessories. The shop exclusively features curator-approved treasures. Go check out their beautiful finds on Accent Chairs here. I personally cannot wait to purchase something beautiful from the shop.
