Trend spotting: Spindle Chair

As a self-confessed design junkie, I have my eyes all over the market...constantly....my head in the mags, catalogs, showrooms, blogs- everything design related. Through my obsessive hunting, I have totally fallen for an oldie but a goodie...the spindle chair. It is not a new design style but for some reason, all of a sudden it has my design senses in overdrive digging this chair! I think I am abandoning the wicker chair idea for my living room and going for the spindle!
Here are some inspiration rooms:

Ok, now that I got your juices flowing...here are some options so get that credit card out!

 Ahhh, to dream. The Ralph Lauren Spindle Chair running from $3825- $4875 depending on the fabric. Not unless I land a very big gig.......who has a summer home and winter home for me to decorate, too....

The Neiman Marcus Massoud Spindle Chair at $2149 is also out of my budget...especially because I need two.




Sorry for the fuzzy pics....there is also this Old Hickory Tannery Suzani Spindle Chair with suzani fabric for $1726..still too high but gorgeous!




Another fuzzy photo but great chair! There is the Old Hickory Spindle Chair from Horchow for about $1599+ depending on the fabric.  Getting lower in price but....I think I can do better.......and voila!




The Pottery Barn Sabine Spindle Chair is the winner! For $799 and a choice of two fabrics, I think these have made it on my short wish list for the living room. Next step, sell my current stuff on Craigslist!

Housing Works Design on a Dime....I have to share!

Ok, I have to admit, I almost didn't want to share this....I wanted to buy everything up myself but being the unselfish blogger that I am....I have to spread the word.

I was reading my most recent edition of House Beautiful and came across an ad for the HousingWorks Design on a Dime Gala Benefit and Sale to take place in NYC from April 26th - 28th. While kicking around the idea of whether or not I'd like to attend, I found my way over to the website to see if it was worth me putting on heels for.....look 'a what I found....it is a thrift store lovers haven!

I think I might die....this is too dangerous to be able to thrift shop from home!! Good news is that all proceeds benefit Housing Works and its housing services for low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. Check out the site...they also have accessories, shoes, handbags and more! It is worth a visit for sure.....and for those of you outside of NY, the smaller items can be shipped! Yeah for all! Which pieces would you be bidding on? I might have to put the heels on and make my way into NYC for this one!
