I Spy on Ebay - Vintage Danish Mid Century Teak Rocking Chair

It's beauties like this Vintage Teak rocking chair I'm watching on Ebay that make me fall in love with mid century modern design all over again! It's sculpted shape and gorgeous teak wood give this rocking chair a flair that will never be confused for your granny's rocking chair. =)

I see potential!

While digging around on craigslist for a folding table for the upcoming craft fair, I stumbled across this blog called Circa60 selling this fabulous set of mid century modern lounge chairs and I'm in love with them! They have crazy potential; I envision them reupholstered in a textured fabric with fantastic graphic pattern, I can just see them now. If I could just convince my husband that we have indeed have space for them, the world would be a happy place….….*sigh*

I Love Orange

My absolute favorite color is yellow, but you would never know it by looking at our living room's decor. We have sheer orange linen curtains, orange accented pillows, orange accented chairs and Vintage 50's artwork with orange accents too. Plus my workspace as you saw in a previous post has an orange striped rug and orange storage boxes on the shelves. Even my baby's stroller is orange. Oh and our accent color for our wedding was orange too. It was never really a consicence choice; it just happens that Orange is a great color that both my husband and I always agree on.

So like fine china, I use the color occasionally so it's always a treat when I wear a yellow dress or something. In the meantime, Orange will always be that bold color that looks irresistable on just about anything, like these fabulous items from Jonathan Adler!

Cool Lamps

In addition to the chair we're adding to our bedroom, I'm also considering changing our existing lamps for the wood one above from West Elm. They always manage to create a wonderful balance between rustic and modern that I just love and after looking through their catalog with pictures of beautifully decorated rooms, I suddenly wish I had more rooms to fill with their goodies! Actually, after a quick glance around our neat 2 bedroom apt I think I see a few free space! =)

Room & Board - Chair for Bedroom

We need a chair for the bedroom, but when one changes the bedroom linens as often as I do, it makes choosing a chair super tough. I'm thinking like a dark sand linen textured fabric that matches easily with most decor? Room and Board, where we purchased our sofas and two chairs, have really amazing modern furniture options and many fabulous mid century style pieces (from Eames to Noguchi). They have so many fabric options, it makes my sandy linen fabric option sound kinda boring! The above piece is what I'm considering but how I can I resist so many fabric options?? Click Here
