pre-view my new faux bamboo chairs

During my trips to Holland I enjoy furniture shopping, the only bad thing about it is that it is impossible to take large objects with me on the airplane, so I have to stock up the things I have bought and wait either we come by car ourselves or family comes over to Spain.

These chairs were love on first sight when I first saw them on the Jonathan Adler website, and later on other decoration blogs. I got excited when I had the oportunity to purchased these chairs in Holland in a vintage/antique store a few months ago. They were painted in a strange colour of green and a ugly flower pint fabric, but I looked beyond that I some big potential in them. Now my parents got me suprised because they delivered me the chairs profesionally painted and upholstered in my favorite fabric!

I love how they look right now, and now i know why my mom investigated me wich colours I wanted to use for my chairs, she got it secretly done instead.

That´s love.

Jonathan Adler´s chair

In the december issue of AD magazine, they published about Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan´s  apartment. There was one sole chair in his apartment that caught my eye. I tried to find it at his webshop but he does´t sell that chair, but I did find it at Ebay.
It´s called the Brass Chiavari Side accent chair Hollywood Regency.

sorry jonathan, for the bad quality picture I took of you with my iphone, but you can see that chair on the right.

Bid on this chair at Ebay

This exact same chair and it´s for sale for $ 49,99 plus shipping.

I have no idea what this chair normally cost´s but If you can buy it at this price it´s a steal.

It´s sooo elegant, and you only need one of this. I can imagine this chair anywhere in the house.

They only ship to the US, so go and get that chair!

Ebay finds

Recently I made 2 Ebay purchases, an Brass pineapple ice bucket and two staffordshire dogs.
These two items were on my most wanted list.
Wich one do you like most?

I love bamboo

Once starting decorating your house you will never finish. It´s like Gaudi´s Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona who will never be finished.
It´s good to buy some basic furniture in the beginning of your first place, then in time you add all loved finds and things to decorate your house to give it that personal style.
Since a year I have been coveting anything faux bamboo in the Hollywood regency style. So I was thrilled that my mum told me she found two faux bamboo arm chairs.
They will arrive to my house next week and I will be painting and upholstering them.
Hope soon to post some pictures of the chairs being painted.
