Do you like swivel club chairs?
Comments (1)We ruled out swivel chairs after I tried one out in a store and nearly knocked over the accent table they had next to it. So yes, they can bump into things. This may not be a problem, depending on your layout. But I'd also ask if you have a real need for a swivel. We won't put a TV into the living room, so we're happy with all the seating focusing on the center and the other people in the room. We may decide differently for our rec room, once we get around to outfitting it....See MoreDo You Like Art Books? Do You Have or Display "Coffee Table" Book
Comments (32)Outside, I enjoy those books too--- my late FIL went to school with Ferrol Sams and we love his novels. I hadn't realized he wrote essays as well. "When attending art shows, I swear off coffee table books but I am weak." We share that weakness, lol. Seems I am "always" never going to buy another huge book... Beagles, that room is fantastic, and I do see your pile of books peeking out from under that chair to the left :-) I'm with you on the kindle, but every now and then I like to hold a real book. Even though I find myself pushing the edge of the page instead of turning it (hanging head). No screen can reproduce the heft and color of those prints in large books, there is something about a good quality art print that is somehow more convincing than an image on a screen. Sloe gin, over the past decade or so I've seen many people putting lovely shelving in their dining rooms to combine functions or simply bring books into a room that doesn't often see them. I love that look, of a literary dining room! And your basket sounds eminently practical, we use our shagreen boxes and ceramic bowls for the same purpose--- the "stuff" has got to be corralled somehow. I have seen that Circus book, Robo, and the Atomic Ranch book also, they are both marvelous! It's clear that our collective enjoyment of these tomes is at least partly for the esthetic quality of the books themselves in addition to the content. I suppose that's what makes them "useful" decor :-) In some cases they might function purely as decor, as the leather books you've used, tinam. Have you seen the book purses that are so popular in some circles? Kate Spade has or had a few, and there's quite a cottage industry on Etsy making real old books into small handbags. They aren't a tenth big enough for me, but I love looking at them!...See MoreDo You Like These Chairs w/This Table
Comments (10)Yes, those are the ones! Funny, "breuer" popped into my head but I googled it and got all kinds of stuff about butcher blocks! Anyway, maybe she'd let you borrow a few of them???? You could see how they'd look anyway, then try to find some more. At the very least, you could score big points with MIL by complimenting her great taste...... I have always LOVED those chairs. I remember shopping for them at a big warehouse in Chicago called "Latts", back in the late '70s, where they had them for $29.99. The black paint on the rims was chipped, so I turned my nose up at them. Duh!!!! That's what black magic marker is for!!!! I've always regretted passing those up. For some reason, I really see them pulling your space together. Simple, classic, clean, and comfortable. You know, mother's day is coming up..... :)...See MoreDo this couch and chair go together?
Comments (5)The two pieces are almost a match so add another more comfortable looking chair in fabric that picks up Carmel hues. Do people dislike the looks or comfort level. This isn’t my style but unless it isn’t uncomfortable work to highlight it in room. Add cozy looking lap blanket, maybe in faux fur (no cheesy but elegant). Search for a rug that adds other colors to room. No washed out looks and no rough textures. Basically you want to finish the room so it is inviting. Dimmable bulbs on table lamps, an ottoman to rest your feet, artwork with drama. Think James Bond romantic combing masculine with a dash of wooing....See Morevioletwest
