This Could Take a While.......

This morning, while cruising for more furniture ideas, I hit the jackpot! If you are into contemporary and/or modern furniture at all, you have to see this site! http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/ I have never seen a site so full of information and ideas.

With Tessie looking over my shoulder, it was difficult. There were 40 pages of sofas alone. Decisions. Decisions....

I grabbed a few photos and printed them all on one sheet. All but the basket chair came from that site.

The basket chair, I have had for a while. I think it came from that 60s Flickr group.

Tessie went crazy for that. She loves little nests. For that matter, so do I. I would love to own that particular chair.....Since it will never happen, I decided to humor her and make one in mini. I will whip one up in.....maybe a month, if I'm lucky. No pattern. By guess and by gosh. Flying by the seat of my pants and all of the other cliches.

This is the page I printed. We have not completely decided which ones will be "it" yet. I do like the Noguchi sofa and bench in the photo on the top right of the page.

Here's a close up. I do wish I could find a photo of the back so that I could see how it is attached to the seat. Other than that, I found the measurments for it and the bench on one of the sites. That's another one of those pieces that was first designed in the late forties and is still in production.

Now about the chair. I have been working on it for a couple of hours now.....I started with 17 spokes in the bottom. as I went outward, I added more....I am up to 49 now and I may still have to add a few more before I get to the side and start going upwards....

As I said at the beginning, pull up a chair and get comfy....."This could take a while......Tessie! Go fetch me a cup of coffee. I"m going to need it!"

See you tomorrow.
