To be honest most of the beginning of this blog was me running aimlessly with my boyfriend Rhys patiently reminding me to relax. I’d run to homescense, freak out when they had 4 picture frames and I needed 12, or I’d run to the other homescense and freak out when the only had 1 lamp and I needed 2... and the list goes on and on... and somewhere along the way (please add a cup of coffee to my hand while I panic) I’ve adapted the song “relax” as a constant song that plays over and over while I shop. Does it provide therapy to my shopping experiences? No... not really... but it is a nice background theme song. Regardless... that’s not why I am typing at this exact moment.... oh no. Because right at the moment that I had given up, to hang up my hate an pay 300 large for 2 replica eames chairs something beautiful happened.
The Thonet Bentwood Chair
A designer by the named or Michael Thonet designed these bad boys in the mid 1800’s (which I guess makes this the oldest style in my room as of yet), it is said that this chair represents modern economy at it’s best with a simple and humble design. These chairs are said to have some of the most influential design in furniture to date. And here I am with two.
So if you haven’t guessed by this time, I have no intention of keeping them the wood colour they are, in fact I have every intention of painting them... to what colour is still unclear but one thing can be certain, at 10$ a pop... they are by far my thriftiest investment yet (investment pieces to you Karen).
