Andros Bistro Chair.

I need these Andros Bistro Chairs! Especially today when it’s 35º and I’m longing for warm, iced tea sipping weather.

Our take on the iconic seating found in Mediterranean island cafés is durable, colorful and eclectic. The chairs come in a mix of four sun-drenched colors. Styled with curved legs and a slatted hoop backs, they have an artfully chipped painted finish that suggests years of exposure to the sun and sea. Made of weather-resistant metal.

TV Easel.

I’ve not welcomed a flat-screen television into my abode yet, although it is on my To Do List. One thing that keeps crossing my mind every time I think about how my living room will have to change to accommodate this technology is where will I put the thing. The idea of hanging it on the wall is appealing, yet scares the bejesus out of me. After paying that much moola I can’t imagine leaving it in the grasp of a couple wall mounts. Then this morning I saw the TV Easel by Swedish designer Axel Bjurström and thought, hmmm, this just may be the answer.

With the form of a traditional painter’s easel, the freestanding TV-rack on wheels is prefect for the open spaces often found in modern apartments. It is optimized for TV-sizes between 32-47” and it is adjustable in both height and angle. Material is solid wood, natural or lacquered.

FUSION Table and Chairs.

I once swore that I would never again purchase a piece of furniture that required assembly. Then I saw the FUSION table and chairs set and all that went out the window. I am obsessed with these pieces and the space-saving quality of the chairs neatly tucking under the table. It’s the perfect mix of retro and modern design. Now I only need to find a good reason to get rid of my perfectly functional current table and chairs!

Cole Six-Drawer Dresser.

I’ve been half-looking for a new dresser that will go with my black wrought-iron bed for about a year now. I have two lovely cherry wood dressers that my grandparents bought me when I was younger, but they’re just not right anymore. I don’t plan on getting rid of them, maybe just retiring them to a second bedroom at my parents’ for safe-keeping at the moment. Yesterday I came across the Cole series at Crate & Barrel and am really interested in the six-drawer dresser. One of my musts in a dresser is for it to be low enough that I can set and lean a mirror against the wall on it and actually be able to see half of myself (I’m 5’2″). And as much as I love some good hardware, I’m really enjoying the lack of it on this piece.

Wingback Lounge Chair.

Love this wingback lounge chair at West Elm. Between the high back and deep chocolately-brown color I’m sold. I can see myself curled up (it’s winter and gently snowing outside in case you’re wondering) with a glass of red wine and a book I can’t put down. Unfortunately Roxy and Peanut would most likely spend more time it than me.

Secret Cabinet.

This beautiful chest of drawers from Anthropologie has a secret – it’s really a cabinet. Open the door to find five shelves, four of which are adjustable. I would love to have this piece to use as an armoire for sweaters and winter clothing.
