In love with chairs

If you have been reading most of my posts, you can tell that I have a " slight " obsession with chairs.

I just think they are so versatile and with all the amazing designs out there, it is sooo hard to choose. You know how long it took me to decide on our dining room chairs right?




Anyhow, these are a couple of chairs in our home right now...




They were one of the first "chair loves" that I bought for our home and I still adore them (Am I not weird or what?! I talk about chairs like they are babies!!!!)! We use them everyday in our breakfast nook. They are Eames-like chairs that we bought from Amazon at a fraction of the price in 2010.

And just recently, we got these  beauties...

I'm inlove




I know I will have the chairs for a very loong time, since they are pretty expensive ( well, anything custom is) and pretty darn beautiful.

I had them done thru DISTINCTIVE INTERIORS And I can say they did an amazing job on these. The fabric is the famous Robert Allen fabric in gate pattern that Dwell studio popularized. I love this pattern so much that my bedroom carpet comes also in the same pattern!



Have a Beautiful day!

Laundry Room Update April 2012

We all spend a lot of time in this room... come to think of it, most of us dread going into this room and try to do this chore somewhere else!

You very well know what I'm talkin' about, I'm talkin' about the LAUNDRY ROOM!

Most of you saw how we first tried to organize this room in my post called Laundry room before and After. Well, since like most of you I spend a lot of time in this crazy space, we tweaked it a little more to make it more conducive to this back-breaking chore.

Actually, this happened...

AAAAhHHHHH!!!!

Yes, my earlier idea of using plastic shelving to house my laundry and cleaning supplies failed disastrously! Just take a look! So I had to find a better substitute. So last Friday, I want to my local Sam's Club and got this...


Much better :-)

This kinda looks like a Parsons-style cabinet/shelving system. It is a nice chocolate brown color with laminated wood shelving. And the cost? $36! Not bad at all. And to top it all of, it is so easy to assemble that I did not even ask my hubby to help assemble it, I did this baby by my lonesome! It was that easy (My hubby was actually a bit impressed I did it on my own! )!


As for the rest of the room....

Tada!
I asked my husband to attach a shelving unit for the baskets and added this wall decor from Hobby Lobby. Here's a closer look...

Here's another look

And here are other little touches we made...

We hung our drying rack on this side and since it is light, I can easily get it and use it when needed.



As always, like all the other rooms in our house, this is a room in progress. But for now, Laundry has become a "little bit easier" !


Have a Nice Day!
