chairs

Rarely do we have guests over but with all the Thanksgiving entertaining posts in full force, a little part of me is dying for a dinner party. (I think I want to design centerpieces more than anything.) Cooking for a group was something I had always fantasized about and thought I would be doing a lot of when I moved but we never even made getting a dining set a priority and we don’t have enough seating in the livingroom. (What do we do with our money?!) I have been collecting chair ideas for some time now. Some for the living room and some that would be suitable around a simple dining table. Let’s not even talk about prices on the high end stuff. I’m just digging the designs. I believe it was design personality Nate Berkus who said on Oprah that he didn’t have a sofa for a year or two until he found the perfect one. Totally feeling him on that – don’t settle for less than the vision you have in your head. A deal will come along eventually. Only problem is, I’m not even looking that hard.

This “Copenhagen” chair designed by Alvaro Uribe is made of fiberglass. I like the splash of color it would bring to our neutral living room. Yes to a red chair!

I’ve posted these before - Bistro chairs – low seating has always been appealing.

Target’s chair selection had a lot of modern pieces like this, a 4 chair set influenced by an Eames wire chair.

Also from Target (and now out of stock online), I saw these in person and wish I had swiped them up. A serious deal, at 2 for about $60, stackable and good to have around in a pinch.

I love acrylic chairs! Of course it would be ideal to have the Philippe Starck Ghost chairs but these from Target and Ikea would do just fine!

Last but not least, this Wishbone rocking chair by Toby Howes takes the frump out!
