Talk about a sh-sh-sh-shock when I cracked open the latest Pottery Barn catalogue this past weekend – unexpected graphic abundance. On occasional chairs no less. I expect this from Anthropologie, not PB. But with that said I absolutely love the fabrics and was immediately picturing no less than five chairs in my mediocre-sized living room.
I can’t read a word on the site, but one thing is for sure – the Fold Flat Chair is brilliant. I say we mutiny again those horrible gunmetal grey folding chairs and fill banquet halls worldwide with these. They’re so perfect I doubt legs would even stick to them. At least here’s to hoping…
Every once in awhile Urban Outfitters really surprises me. Like with this coat rack for instance. I love the vintage inspiration behind it and the shocking turquoise color that really brings it right up to date.
Loving the Moroso chair by designer Tokujin Yoshioka. What a beautiful way to put scraps of fabric to good use. And can you say “patience”?

I really, really like the lines and clean simplistic design behind the Tevere Chair. And in some strange and twisted way it reminds me of a highchair for adults.
IKEA is killing me lately. Since most of their pieces are designed with a lack of staying power, I’m hesitant to commit to any of their larger items. But then I saw the TROLLSTA sideboard and absolutely love it. What’s a girl to do?
Alright, is it just me or is IKEA really hitting a lot of things outta the park this spring? Case in point: the BERGSBO cabinet. I’d love to have one of these to display all of my barware. Heck, it could even be a little cabinet bar if you stash all of your glasses and liquor bottles inside. Just open the doors and voila! Instant party.
Have I ever mentioned that I adore books? That I have about a gazillion of them? Or that I have a really difficult time getting rid of even the really horrible ones? All true. I think I could solve this pesky problem of mine with the help of a few French Industrial Double Bookshelves. Wouldn’t a wall look fantastic lined with them? It would give things a nice laboratory feeling I’d like to think. Now if I only had a dollar for every book I owned I could afford them!

Patrick Jouin brings us an updated folding chair with his fol.d chair for XO. The seat slides up instead of folding! I love this as an option for extra seating instead of the old metal variety.
I love the sterile lab environment feel the Alchemy side table has about it. And I’ve been a sucker for wood and metal combos lately.
