Breaking Tradition with Chairs...

One of the things that I love about decorating is finding an unique piece of furniture that instantly adds personality to a room. An easy way to do this is by adding an amazing chair.

I tend to be drawn to chairs that have an architectural quality to them, but mixing styles and eras is a great way too. I'm definitely not afraid to place my Grandmother's wing chair and my Eames rocker next to each other. While not necessarily built for comfort, these chairs definitely fit the bill for a striking statement.

This hooded chair would definitely be a cozy nook for reading...
This chair looks like it was made from old Jenga pieces, but I love the unfinished, sculptural feel.
 Doesn't this chair just look comfy?
Another take on the hooded chair...

Love these! Wouldn't they be great under a round glass dining table?

If you're going to use a flag, why not in a big way on a chaise?

The clawfoot feet and x-shaped legs add a personality to these otherwise simple chairs...
This chair would be a striking piece in a stark, minimalist room...

Like the Louis Ghost chair before it, this lucite wingback is a fantastic, modern take on a traditional chair.

Packing... Shipping... Cleaning... Rearranging...

Phew! It's been a crazy morning. I have been cleaning and rearranging my apartment for my last load of personal items from California to arrive!

In looking around my apartment, I realize how cluttered everything has gotten over the last few months. I have not been following my own rule of one thing in, one thing out. I counted this morning and realized that I have 10 chairs in my tiny apartment (plus a couch!) I don't think anyone needs that much seating! Here are a few...

 Just purchased from Housingworks during to the Design on a Dime sale...

Needs to be recovered, but I love the shape...

This weekend will definitely mean a trip to Housingworks, my favorite thrift store in NYC, to donate a few of these chairs...
