This weeks chair love was found at Desire to Inspire, the photo is by Daniel Hertzell. 

I just love the shape of this beauty.  It reminds me of the sling sofa.  Gorgeous.  Heck, the whole picture is gorgeous!

Tid Bits and Projects

July 21, 2009 at 11:02 am (Projects, Tid Bits) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

It seems like I havebeen so busy around here… but where is my progress?  I have so my projects currently on my plate, and have been working on them, really!  But, none are officially completed yet.  So, I thought I would just fill you in on some of the tib bits going on around here and a few of the before shots of some current projects. 

Some awesome flowers have sprouted up in the back yard.  I forgot that I had planted them there in the spring!  I love lillies, any kind, especially orange ones!

We are also still taking care of Gillian, the salamander.  He is still in the rubber tote sitting on the table, grossing everyone out.  But, we are searching for a small tank to keep him in.  In this picture he is right next to the end of the leaf.  Those two black dots are his eyes; he is burrowed in the dirt.

The dogs made a nice mess for me to clean up this morning.  They decided that the five minutes they were left alone in the yard was just long enough to dig for moles.  Here they are trying to look all innocent and quite muddy!  Also check out Marley’s new collar.  She thinks she’s tough!

Chair Love Inspiration

July 8, 2009 at 3:21 pm (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I am in the process of working on a few chair projects for the shop.  So, this week’s chair love is a compilation of some funky chair makeover inspiration! 

“Tie Chair Ala Alabama Chanin,”  by smoothepebble.  I just love these woven tie chairs, especially the ones with the dangling ends!

“Painted Chair,” by kimhas6cats.  So bright!

“Design Sponge Table Chair Redo,” by thirtyeight20.  Awesome fabric choice, and, I love love that ghost table!

 “Fav Chair,” by k*8.  Again, great fabric gives this old chair a new life.

“Repurposed Chairs Make Laundry Bench,” by jgrnly.  I have an idea for a bench of chairs, but a bit fancier…

“Chair Project 1, ” by Le Silly.  Collage on a chair can be really funky and unique.

Well, for now I hope this gives everyone some inspiration… I definitely have my wheels turning!

Table And Chair Love

June 30, 2009 at 9:58 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I happened upon this table and chair set today and loved the curves and shiny metal of the set (oh, and of course the lucite of the table)! 

 

I think this would be a glamorous dining set, rug and all!

A Sad Day and Some Things I Love

June 26, 2009 at 4:00 pm (Tid Bits) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

What a sad day today is.  Words cannot describe how much Michael Jackson will be missed.  He is such a huge talent and has always been a big part of my life. 

 

I really didn’t think anything was fitting to post about on such a sad day, but then decided to pay a tribute and then cheer up with some things that I am loving. 

 

I love clear furniture, I love lucite.  Need I say more?

downersI know these are tiny pictures, but I am totally wanting these cookie jars!  Hilariously funny.

I also know that this bowl is a bit sick, but also freakishly adorable.  Tony loves zombies, so I thought he’d like this!

This red retro lamp would look perfect in my kitchen!

Funky Chair Love

I loved this picture when I saw it.  I’m not sure why, but I did.  I wouldn’t want a chair (seat) like this in my house exactly, but still, it’s charming!

 

“Funky Chairs at the Surf Shack,” by Dharma Communications.  Simply funky.

I have been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, so sorry for the delay in posting.  We did make some more progress on the yard in preparation for the upcoming party.  But, it is rainy now (again) so pictures will have to wait a bit.  Instead, here is this weeks chair love.  A Flickr find named Den Vorsitz, by David Fisher.  Awesome!

Adorable Little Chair

June 10, 2009 at 12:41 pm (Shop Items) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

Behold the new addition to the shop (or soon to be):

MCM Chair 1

MCM Chair 2

Isn’t he cute??  I’m not sure if I will remodel this little guy or sell as is.  Any suggestions?  I was thinking black paint and new cushion.  But then again, I love the wood and the teal vinyl.  Hmmm…  Let me know if you have any interest in this oh-so-cute MCM chair (refinished or not) and I will keep you all updated on what I do with it!

I did end up leaving the chair as is after a good cleaning, and  a girl immediately fell in love with it and snatched it up! 

**SOLD**

Double Chair Love

June 9, 2009 at 2:06 pm (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I spotted this very gorgeous desk chair at Wide Open Spaces.  It happens to be in a lovely photograph by Ngoc Minh Ngo, but look closely at the chair.  Isn’t it beautiful? 

chair love 1

The picture below that happened to grab my attention as well.  The two chairs in front of the couch are the exact same as the chair we found months ago in the garbage! 

chair love 2

A little bit of black paint on the legs and our chair is a copy!  I’d still like any info on those chairs!  See the photos (as well as other beautiful ones) on the blog here:  http://wideopenspaces.squarespace.com/.  See our chair in an old post here:  https://makemineeclectic.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/our-officeden/ and here:  https://makemineeclectic.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/name-that-chair/.
