Round-Up

I've done a little browsing here and there this week between other obligations. Here's what I found:<br /><br />First, a set of four klismos-style chairs I spotted at the Habitat for Humanity store today for $50 each . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM3tPp3gQU8xJzCcmW8_dMFnVv8iNXvHNjA8ViRbnK-kfTEy-zrmBdvio5XoS-yWv7pNwI2trAGfQ2lwxizosUv05EE0TGvQ03qdkOxrKQEYK0NwQNmC3XHC3zeGig7Da-Nvvv5sOS6M/s1600/dining+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM3tPp3gQU8xJzCcmW8_dMFnVv8iNXvHNjA8ViRbnK-kfTEy-zrmBdvio5XoS-yWv7pNwI2trAGfQ2lwxizosUv05EE0TGvQ03qdkOxrKQEYK0NwQNmC3XHC3zeGig7Da-Nvvv5sOS6M/s400/dining+chair.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I loved the shape and thought they would be great around a round table. The problem? Three were side chairs and one had arms. Very strange. Anyway, while perusing blogs today, I ran across this photo from the <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/elle-decor/articles/elle-decor-showhouse">Elle Decor Showhouse in San Francisco</a> on <a href="http://katie-d-i-d.blogspot.com/2010/11/elle-decor-showhouse-2010-kitchen-and.html">Katiedid</a>. Check out the dining room by <a href="http://www.palmerweiss.com/">Palmer Weiss</a> (a designer I love): </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf9Djp583u9yLM3tLIpKYePvPpGDgVrgD5j3zQl9uILOgYYqzAd4arEAwhTlgAdCX06uDu8cuObBFq8wvQbk2NN0cfxb8xXhN0tQ-QIDkypfauDS0Ag05vEhCd6Iv9FImCs6g6vHgphSI/s1600/Elle%252BDecor%252BShowhouse%252B2010%252BBreakfast%252BRoom2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf9Djp583u9yLM3tLIpKYePvPpGDgVrgD5j3zQl9uILOgYYqzAd4arEAwhTlgAdCX06uDu8cuObBFq8wvQbk2NN0cfxb8xXhN0tQ-QIDkypfauDS0Ag05vEhCd6Iv9FImCs6g6vHgphSI/s400/Elle%252BDecor%252BShowhouse%252B2010%252BBreakfast%252BRoom2.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't these chairs look similar? You could lime the wood and possibly even add fabric to the wood backs for  a similar effect. What do you think?</div><br />My big find at the Habitat store was a $3 black cylinder shade for my <a href="http://myinteriorlife.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-lamp.html">$4.99 lamp</a>. That's right, my entire lamp came in for a grand total of $8 and some change. Woo hoo!<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmRyZY_3qflTIL-JNEMUJm0TZ0z17P9mD1b08T_S9joyc5mtrRh-xrh0dcME6qUYzifwzcGMjhIIbJtyTCVcHKDbEU6oVHR5_SQKzQ01KFVt7XwRO_-zalLN3TmecMsektAU1ACoo_sQ/s1600/lamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmRyZY_3qflTIL-JNEMUJm0TZ0z17P9mD1b08T_S9joyc5mtrRh-xrh0dcME6qUYzifwzcGMjhIIbJtyTCVcHKDbEU6oVHR5_SQKzQ01KFVt7XwRO_-zalLN3TmecMsektAU1ACoo_sQ/s400/lamp.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I'm kind of digging the retro vibe of the lamp. Sorry, I took this at night, so the lighting is not good.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">Earlier in the week, I spotted a pair of ceramic foo dogs at an antique mall for $30 for the pair. Thought that was a great deal. Some people don't like the foo, but I still do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55YXwP9srfgv8Wa9k9lpcX4BfhYTE9afJKaBO2FSyGxr7ZTYiWC4kScUCabOKjZ8i66z9aCV5Hh_gGXzX92QiobTYlFfST0EEg1FhjQrT71UAPAVnrk55nEV1K6j-_w-VgxCnv1gOc2Q/s1600/foo+dogs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55YXwP9srfgv8Wa9k9lpcX4BfhYTE9afJKaBO2FSyGxr7ZTYiWC4kScUCabOKjZ8i66z9aCV5Hh_gGXzX92QiobTYlFfST0EEg1FhjQrT71UAPAVnrk55nEV1K6j-_w-VgxCnv1gOc2Q/s320/foo+dogs.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">And this French mirror looked extremely familiar, and while I don't remember the exact price, I think it was pretty reasonable. These last two items were at the Winchester Antique Mall in Franklin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKaWtxuS62MRqX0i1V83P_hO4hETL9dxHuIFirFfRNXyozpVJvptYTWYzo3YQ0zn9_vN4Kd8YdI7qKAdz4q5Qmwlw43ikb3QpV7mgPB3eWGklQ_Yl3xgDaoUQVaYat4PjocDZXkTSYk8/s1600/French+mirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKaWtxuS62MRqX0i1V83P_hO4hETL9dxHuIFirFfRNXyozpVJvptYTWYzo3YQ0zn9_vN4Kd8YdI7qKAdz4q5Qmwlw43ikb3QpV7mgPB3eWGklQ_Yl3xgDaoUQVaYat4PjocDZXkTSYk8/s400/French+mirror.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">And although this version is much smaller, I knew I had spotted this look recently both <a href="http://myinteriorlife.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-kind-of-town.html">here</a> and <a href="http://myinteriorlife.blogspot.com/2010/10/14-blog-post.html">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wishing you all a Happy Weekend.
