DON'T THEY MAKE A CUTE COUPLE?


As we drove through Southampton on Saturday I noticed a big Inventory Sale sign in the window of my favorite store Homenature.  My heart began to race.  The last time I had attended a sale there I came home with a gorgeous  straw-hued raffia Springer coffee table. Yes it has some scuffs and nicks in a corner, but I don't care, its a Springer table and I got it for a song (in first photo). I was with my husband, who loves a good sale as much as I do--as a pair we are very dangerous!  "It looks quiet, let's go in now," he said. Oh, there were so many beautiful pieces: buttery leather chairs from the 70"s, hammered brass side tables and a vintage Greek Key ottoman-all on sale!! Then I saw them-a pair of painted black cane back chairs, sitting quietly in the corner.  They were pretty, modern with a soft beige suede seat-I had to have them, although I didn't know where I would put them.  And so they made the journey home and the "Where do you belong?" dance began. Their first home was the library -they looked fantastic but would have to replace a set of vintage 70"s barrel backed chairs that looked terrific in the room.  We moved the chairs to the living room and there they found a home, replacing a large striped cream chair. The black chairs are a bold gesture in a muted room, the perfect compliment.  Not bad for a morning drive.

  4. Nothing like a pop of black to add instant drama, glamour and elegance to a room. I am a big fan of black furniture, chairs, kitchens,etc....looks great. Nothing like a bargain...and lucky you that your husband unlike mine, was a more than willing participant..lol.

  15. I LOVE Homenature...they are so friendly and I always find just the right thing for a project. I found a dining table that was the jumping off point for a house I did last spring. Great stuff.
