I'd love your input

Should I swap out the Barcelona chair that currently resides in our bedroom...
 

for this Rosewood Norwegian Falcon Chair


 or this



Mid Century Leather and Teak Safari Chair?



I met 2 fabulous girls while waiting in line for an estate sale on Friday. Turns out they just launched a website called Take-a-seat.biz, where they sell Mid Century chairs they find and refurbish.

I'm not normally a big fan of Mid Century design but I have to admit that I am smitten with both of these chairs.

So tell me, which one would you choose?

Tough one. I'm so taken with the existing chair that it's hard to decide. Lovely blog, btw! :)

What a tough call - love them all. And as Christian said - depends what else is in the room - but I think all of them are statement makers!!

You won't like my awnser...but here it goes..keep your Barcelona...such a classic. I love it and though the other two are interesting and pretty in a different way...your Barcelona in my humble opinion wins hands down! You asked!! You know the saying "why change a good thing"

I really like the feel of the second chair. It has a sleek and slender style that will pick up the beautiful honey color paint in the corner of your room. It will make that corner feel bigger as well.

I like the Barcelona chair, what were you going to do with it if you swapped it out?

The good news is you can't go wrong no matter which of these you pick. The bad news...you have to pick only one. Really they all are so cool but I agree, the Barcelona does look the most inviting for sitting.

Thank you so much for your positive comments on my living room - so nice to hear and I love your blog!

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
