Yesterday, I spent some time looking for slipper chairs for a project that we are working on (we can't use CG items all the time, you know!).  I came across quite a range in terms of price and style.  Many of the national retailers like Williams Sonoma Home and Crate and Barrel offer pared down shapes in a variety of fabrics that can be used anywhere in the home.  No muss, no fuss - just point, click, and order yourself a stylish seating option.

While this is certainly a fantastic option, there is just something about a special little antique that makes me all giddy inside.  I consulted 1st Dibs (think Ebay for the design set), which is known for its antiques-for-sale.  I came across two pairs of slipper chairs that I am absolutely enamored with.  Each pair is completely individualistic in terms of its style, and yet I can see either option being incorporated into a variety of environments.  The first set is totally old-school, with tufting and a scrolled back (and perhaps the fluffiest cushions I have ever seen).  The second set is on the other end of the spectrum - mod and angular, with a cut out back and a touch of chrome.  You just don't see chairs this chic every day!  If anyone runs into Santa, please tell him that I'm not picky - I'd be happy to find either one under my tree!

A little Something to Get You Into the Holiday Spirit!
Mon, 2010-12-13 14:15 | by Georgia



I normally do not get overly excited by Christmas ornaments, but these are the exception.  I was back at John Derian doing more shopping and saw these really fun ornaments.  They make a great stocking stuffer or hostess present or even table decoration! Hope this gets you into the holiday spirit if you aren't already!
