Hello random chair that I bought at Ross for $49.99. Don't get me wrong, it didn't come in the fun chartreuse chevron print. It came in a FURRY zebra 'ish' animal print. Yeah, you read that right, FURRY. It had a good shape, so I bought it. It is also a nice, heavy duty, sturdy chair, no flimsyness here folks. Enter: upholstery guy that I found through my realtor. I had this done back in the fall before I ever thought I'd start a blog, so the bummer is that I have no before pics. It was some real eye candy, let me tell ya. Ha!

Random Ross chair lives in the hall and usually houses a big 'ol diaper bag. We don't really have a mud room , so this chair sometimes serves as a catch all.


The frames above my random chair are photographs that I took in Rome and the Cinque Terre on holiday in Italy (2001 and 2004). I signed the mats too...made me feel special, ha ha. They bring me joy. They aren't staged or fancy, just point and shoot pics. The top photograph is my FAVORITE!! Just this random lovely Italian man, sitting outside of his restaurant in Rome, taking a break. I wish I could find the negative for that pic (it was BEFORE digital, can you believe it, ha ha), I'd love to blow it up. Bummer.
THE FYI:
-If you find something cool that has good lines, good bones, good shape...buy it...you can always paint it, or have it reupholstered (or do it yourself if you are crafty, my 'DIY' only goes so far, ha ha). You can transform that piece.
-When you make your changes you create a unique piece that no one else has! Viola! it just became cooler!
-You don't HAVE to have a fancy camera to get art for your home, just have an artful eye. Take pictures of interesting things, things you love (I'll show you the ones I took in Africa that are HUGE and in my dining room in a future post, again, with a point and shoot no big deal camera).
K says "who needs a CHAIR?"
(ugh, now I am forced to look at my pantry and do a re-org this weekend, denial was working so well until now)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!
