The Fabulous Eiffel Chair

My terrible design secret is that I'm not a fan of ALL things Mid- Century.  At least, I usually don't like a whole room full of Mid- Century furniture.  I do, however, like a few pieces mixed into a more traditional or rustic space.  
Case in point: The iconic Eiffel chairs (created by designer and artist duo Charles and Ray Eames) are gorgeous and have become classics.  You, my readers, know this already.  Why don't I see more of these in the homes I have visited?  I'm dying to design a dining room (I have a friend in mind) with these beauties in mind.

A room of contrasts. Blending of old & new, modern & traditional, rustic & refined...
maybe this picture sums it all up. the chandelier, the silver, the country rustic table, and of course the mid-century chairs. Eames for me and Bertoia for Cory.

Do any of you own an authentic or even knock-off Eames?  I'm curious how you have incorporated them into your design.

Minor Obsession: Dining Banquettes

If there is one thing I love to see in a dining room it's a banquette.  Given a choice, I think most people would rather sit on a cushy banquette than a wooden chair.  They are great style statements as well as practical choices.  There are many profiles to choose from: sleek and contemporary, curve backed and skirted or just about anything you can dream up.

A stand alone banquette is high on my want list!  It would be perfect in my dining room.  

Have a fantastic weekend!

I mentioned before that Rebecca wants to paint a wall in my dining room navy blue.  I have a great couch and chair that are done in a cream and brown toile that are in the formal living room.  I never use the formal living room or dining room, and I would really like to change that.  Lucky for me, Rebecca has already offered to help me with the living and dining room once we are done with my bedroom.  (Which is coming along nicely, by the way.)
