the bubble chair


does this chair not turn heads? it was on the cover of the august Charleston magazine and ever time i see it, i love it. (i ran across it again when i was doing my magazine clean up a couple of days ago!) i have this obsession with acrylic and lucite and the bubble chair just makes my heart putter (so does the price tag). originating in 1968 by designer Eero Aarnio, this chair is still just as amazing nearly 40 years later!

*the color is off in the cushion and garden stool; its actually this great chartreuse green that really pops not that mucky green it scanned in as.

vintage baker chairs


does it get any cooler than these circa 1950's Baker chairs? The arms just kill me. gosh, they are just gorgeous....i am envious of the home that they will one day belong to.

stools anyone?


i love these mid-century stools from 1st dibs. i think they would look great with a kitchen table. instead of your typical chairs with backs, i think it would be fun to use these. to add some comfort you could always do circular pillows on the seats. i can see the pillows in maybe this fun mod green pod fabric adelaide, piped and backed in a mustard yellow velvet. i think this DWR pedestal table would complete the look for my "new found" kitchen eating area....

budget-friendly headboard



what a great upholstered headboard from U.O. with all the fixings (ie. nailhead trim, great shape, & wallet-friendly). there is only one catch or i'd be ordering it up for my master bedroom....it only comes in a full/queen. and seeing that we just invested in a king so that our whole fam could sleep in the bed w/ us (babe and golden), this won't do. but for the other people in the world who are without kid, dog, and still enjoy smaller beds to cuddle w/ their significant others, this would be a great addition to any bedroom!


*and with some classy bedding(maybe a dark coverlet-chocolate or slate gray, w/ monogrammed euro shams, light throw at the bottom of the bed), you could really dress this up and no one would ever know that it didn't put a dent in your wallet buying it

the female leather chair....



so i am helping a dear friend of mine with a house that she and her husband are building....and let me tell you, they LOVE leather. it's something i struggle with b/c while i think that leather is good looking in a chair, i tend to steer away from it for sofas. however, i have opened my eyes to the idea of it a little more b/c to their defense, they have two small children and think its the best for spills and clean-up. so with that said, i have been on a quest to find beautiful leather....and here my friend, is exactly that!

its funny b/c domino just featured an article on leather and my friend called me out on it, saying "see shannon, they say leather is back".....this is the leather that is back: classic, beautiful, feminine leather! who wouldn't want two of these chairs in their house(besides kevin)?

*in case you are wondering, i did find a sofa i think is nice in leather....if you want to see what i suggested, here it is!

hello, YELLOW




don't be shocked when you start seeing a bunch of yellow pop up in furniture and fabric trends....it was hot in fashion and now its heading our way in the design industry. this is definitely a bold color so use it as an accent piece...kitchen chairs, pillows, lacquered side tables, etc. this acid yellow is fun and can definitely liven up any household... be on the cutting edge and try this less mellow yellow!

hip accent table




i love this table. i think it would make a great table in between two linen club chairs or as a side table by a velvet sofa. its just different from your regular, indonesian dark-wooden side table found in a lot of your local shops. it has a cool vibe to it. i love the idea of mixing it with different elements...placing a funky, glass lamp on it or using dark fabrics for your upholstery would look amazing next to this light wood.

great web find

i love this chair and think that everyone needs something fantastic like this in their home. two of these chairs would be amazing as occasional chairs in a living room. i could not believe how well priced these chairs are. if you are in the market for something like this, you can find them here.





i can see the room now...an all white palette....benjamin moore dove white(OC-17) would be amazing as the wall color, light floors, sisal rug layered with a zebra accent rug over top, a classic- line, slip-covered white sofa with turquoise and orange accent pillows, a metal and glass coffee table with a wooden bowl filled w/ iridescent, hand-blown glass balls, a weathered mocha leather chair with a white cashmere throw tossed in it, and these beautiful elliptical side chairs flanking the all white, brick fireplace.....these are cool chairs....
