seating expedition....

[thoreau]

David and I hunted SOMA furniture stores today for both dining room chairs and a nice reading chair. We saw several dozen different dining room chairs. The issue is I have a dark teak dining table - so matching wood chairs is difficult - although I saw a beautiful tiled teak chair I liked alot. and a bamboo chair at Pier 1 I liked alot - but David thought an armchair that you needed a pillow in wasn't an optimal choice.

here's a slide show of today's favorites: (the wood chair I liked best for the dining room is the 2nd and 3rd slide, a lamp I liked for adding some ambient light to the desk area is in the middle with other dining room chairs - and the arm chair I liked at Pier One is the last slide)

The arm chair is nice - and I like the leather chair for the dining room - I prefer a dining chair that you can sit in for a couple of hours and not have your rear fall asleep - because I like to encourage after-food chatting over coffee/tea/wine whatever. That's the best time for sharing and laughing.

The light is cool - my personal favorite for 'ambience' light is white christmas lights strung in a potted tree - be it real or silk - tucked in the corner.
