I wish I could tell you that I've been exiled to an exotic island devoid of WiFi, or that I've been been on set of the new Meryl Streep movie for two weeks and unable to break away to blog because Meryl's decided she wants to adopt me. Alas, my life is not that exciting. I've been in a very intense acting class for the past two weeks, and any spare minute I have is spent asleep. I've had no chance to do anything creative outside of my work for class, hence no bloggies lately. Class is over this Wednesday, though (HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY!), and after that, I anticipate getting back to a more normal life. Until then, I'll share with you a picture of a chair that I saw at Barney's and fell in love with:
Mark my words, I will own this one day. It's supremely comfortable. I'm not one for much uber-modern design, but I love the idea of this in a room of traditional furniture in bold patterns. I've been thinking about the use of "ghost chairs" in apartments; I saw a picture recently of a small apartment in NYC's East Village that had a fairly traditional black lacquered dining table surrounded by clear lucite dining chairs. In such a small space, the chairs seemed to disappear. You could see what was in the living area behind them, and they didn't distract the eye from the overall space. And interestingly enough, they truly matched the traditional lines of the table, probably because despite their untraditional materials, their shapes were fairly classic. Anyway, I'm in love. End of story.
