Danish and A Doughnut

A near mint Conant Ball American Danish modern-style slat back armchair purchased from Antiques Moderne. The wood has a beautiful patina but the cushions were dirty and dated. Way more than I wanted to pay, but it is in excellent condition.

After renovation. New seat cushions and a a little buff here and there.



True confessions: I hate plaid. I mean I really really loathe it.  However, I found this silk blend and it immediately caught my eye. Why? Because it's a great retro plaid. It reminds me of the swim shorts boys wore in the 60's. Go daddy-O!

 

Rear view. Nice lines. 

 

Conant Ball stamp.



And...is this the most beautiful doughnut you've ever seen?

I've been thinking about lighting lately. After snapping some shots of my kitchen, I realized that I missed an opportunity for something fabulous over the island. So I'm trolling for lights. Again.

The Arco Lamp. It's on my Design Bucket List. I love the simplicity and versatility of design. It's very nearly perfect.
