Curvy Chair Love

This week my chair love comes from a random internet search.  The fun, curvy arms on this baby just jumped out at me.  What a beauty.  I’d take a couple of these for my dining room.

 Hopefully we get some sun tomorrow so I can show you a few pictures of the yard progress!

Mini Chair Love

I came across this little lucite chair and table on Ebay (thinking it was life-sized).  Did your Barbies have neat furniture like this?  I think mine are jealous!

 

Way cool vintage chair, even in a mini size, but I’d take the life-size set! 🙂

Funky Chair Love

I found this guy on Flickr.  Titled, “The Mysterious Vintage Chair,” by fetching.  I love the shape and the detached headrest.  Wouldn’t this chair be sweet in a bright, funky fabric!?

Chair Love Sale

This week I thought I would feature a chair that is going in the shop!  This robins egg blue shell chair is marked “Krueger Metal Products Green Bay, Wisconsin” on the bottom.  Isn’t it just so cute?

Lawn Chair Project

It hasn’t stopped raining here for days, so please excuse the dark, dreary photos.  But, I had to share the other garage sale day find with you.  Lawn chairs!  They were a steal, and they will be fixed up with some paint and cushions, so don’t be alarmed!  Right now I think they kind of look like they belong next to some plastic flamingos in, well, not my yard.  But, they will.

Really that shade of blue is bright and fun, and has started to grow on me.  But, I think it would look out of place in our back yard.  I’m not sure what color I am thinking, however.  I know we always lean towards black.  We are blah.  But, black might bring them up to date and they could be dressed up and brightened with some bold patterned cushions.  Yes? No?  Ideas?  Always something to work on, but I love it! 🙂

Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am going to start selling off some of our projects.  I love to keep busy and remake fun things, but our house is getting full.  So, I am going to keep doing what I love, but start selling the things I make or remake.  Right now I have a coffee table in the works, so stay tuned.  I will post befores and afters of the items I plan to sell.  For now they will be listed on Craigslist, or you can contact me through the blog.  But, we are thinking that in the future I might rent a booth at one of our local antique shops.  Check back, and let me know if you are interested in anything, or are looking for something in particular! 🙂

Bit Of Chair Love

April 15, 2009 at 9:58 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I happened upon this super cute chair on the blog Purple Area.  It would make an adorable desk or side chair.  I just love the black color and the curved back. 

 

I even like the purple wall here.  This would be adorable in a little girl’s room… or even a grown up girl’s room!

Chair Love Some More

This weeks chair love comes early!  I spotted this beauty on Apartment Therapy earlier in the week.  The picture is of the store front of the Pico Modern Furniture shop.  What a pretty place!  And, great taste in chairs, I might add.

 

The shop is described as unique and unusual.  I love it already!  And, I want the chair! 🙂

Little Bit Of Chair Love

I found this cute chair the other day on Design*Sponge in Jack and Lulu’s home sneak peak.  The curvy lines on this chair match the bech seat I was loving the other day!  The picture isn’t directly of the chair, but it’s right in front of the mirror here:

 

I want it for my bedroom! 🙂

Chair Love Again

March 20, 2009 at 11:31 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

This week I have been slow. But, it just hit me. My daily Apartment Therapy email just came in, and there is was, this amazing industial looking chair. I do not know much about the chair itself, but Atelier 154 in France is the shop where this baby can be found, and  the stylists of this blog that contains manygorgeous photos other photos are Elodie and Karine Kong. See them here: http://bodieandfou.blogspot.com .

Just simply beautiful.

P.S. I think that my weekly chair loves are so random and different because they tend to match my mood for that week (or day). I just noticed that as this chair even kind of matches the outfit I am wearing today. Casual, but classic, but also unique. Anyways…

Another Project Finally Finished

March 20, 2009 at 9:50 am (Projects) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

Remember that little stool with the opening lid I got from my grandma a few months ago? It has been on my to do list to redo the stool for a while now, and it is finally finished. See the before here:  http://www.makemineeclectic.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/new-little-project/

I took the lid off, which actually made recovering and painting much easier, and ripped up the fabric. I tacked down new fabric and replaced the old black backing since it was still in good shape. Backing helps cover the ugly seems when they are on something like this, as the lid being lifted will constantly expose this back area. I then sanded and painted the wood bottom, put the top back on, and TaDa!
