The $100 Chair

I bought this chair with a client for $100. Her husband hates that we spiff things up. He knows it will cost a lot more and take forever. Well...that's fairly accurate.


We added one new down cushion flown in from Manhattan, some walnut colored lacquer and 7 yards of Suzanne Rheinstein's Paisley Linen for Lee Jofa.


...and voila. A $100 chair no more...but an heirloom for their kids...and that's pretty cool.

Straight Runner

Here is our current stair runner. It is the second version that we have had of a blond faux wool/sisal. I loved the contrast against the walnut stained treads. I'm over it.


If I was loaded and didn't have to commit for too long this would be a fun nutty choice. Lee Jofa's Ikat wool...MAYBE in my second home...my Uzbek cabin.


I think I would choose better colors than LJ did. Prussian blue and butter? Borat brown and hot pink?


CZ Guest had it all figured out, though. She had a whole gaggle of little naughty purebred peeing dogs so she had this put in her house almost everywhere.


I don't want to mention the unmentionable things that are still happening around here but let's be real. I'm shooting for this one.


A bent man would get it. My straight husband might need some convincing.

LONG WEEKEND

Sweet hostess gift.


Now contemplating this here.


Haunted by laundry.


Speaking of dead.


Stupid place for it. Looking for better spot.


Pretty.


Crazy.
