Visit Instructables!
When thrifting at Goodwill or other vintage shops, it takes a keen eye to choose furniture wisely.

Chair porn

By Ty Wenzel • May 7th, 2009 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors

Visit DesireToInspire!
Last weekend I saw a couple to-die-for mid-century modern chairs that I had to leave in the shops because I cannot justify owning more chairs. This has had me thinking about chairs, and I realized it has been far too long since my last chair porn post.

Sitting Stuff

I’m a smoker – I admit it. What I remember most about growing up were the cool ashtrays of the 60s that my father used to have. With so few people smoking nowadays, I thought it would be a good “green” idea to recycle these beautiful pieces into other things like catchalls or fruit bowls. [...]

So C finally corralled me into posting, and it’s fortuitous timing. I just got back from Bonnaroo, everyone’s favorite neo hippie organic loving music festival in the hills outside of Nashville, TN, so I have been immersed in sustainable, vintage, and eco minded hipsters (and a smattering of eco-disinterest, but we won’t hold that [...]
