  • The Egg Chair for My Birthday!

    The Egg Chair for My Birthday!

    YAY! Today is my birthday and do you know what I got? My egg chair! It was a big group gift from Brandon and his family.

    It’s big enough to curl up inside with my legs tucked under myself (my favorite way to sit). I’ll have to make sure I don’t plant any bee-attracting plants directly around the chair! I came up with this little plan awhile back and I think I might stick with it.

    Here’s the view from inside the chair:

    I’m so thrilled! What an amazing gift.

  • Ritzy Stripe Chair

    I upholstered one chair as a test in Amy Butler’s Ritzy Stripe fabric.

    It looks great, but I’m not sure what to do for the rest of the room. Creamy white walls and a green ceiling? A green rug?

    Photos of Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films offices (in the April ’08 issue of Domino) have been making the rounds on the design blogs recently, and I love the curtains in Nancy Juvonen’s office.

    Perhaps I could do something similar, but with green or black trim.

    I’m also still obsessed with the black and white rug I saw during my recent IKEA visit. Is it too much with the chair pattern? I know, it probably is. Maybe I’d use the rug and then go with a solid chair fabric.

    Yes? The colors go better together than they appear to in the photos above. I think the different scales of the patterns might work together (maybe?).

    Why is this the one room where I can’t make a decision? Meh.
