Our Dream Chair is SCORED Thanks To Craig!....

Some people may have dream cars, dream handbags, dream vacations... not us. The Hubs and I had a mutual dream of a black leather Eames lounger. (thank goodness I married a guy who went to school for Industrial Design! ha!) 

These bad boys run 3 - 5 THOUSAND so we weren't planning on owning one for a loooooong time. And I have been happy with our $75 knock off. But the brown knock off bothered me because I felt like the room was too brown with it. And it's a little wobbly. I digress....

Here's what I found on Craigslist yesterday!!!

now residing in our living room...

Black Eames Lounger!!! What?! Whaaaat?! I couldn't believe it! I snagged this baby up for $400. I happened to book our rental unexpectedly for the same amount about 10 minutes before I found him so I didn't feel too guilty. And we've agreed this chair is our Christmas present to ourselves! 

I'm SO excited! This one is so much more comfy than our other one too. The Hubs is attached to the brown one though so for now at least we have TWO of these chairs in our living room! They look like they're about to duel. I wish i could get a good pic of them but it's dark and rainy day = awful pictures! 

What do you think!? Do you have any dream pieces you're dying to get your hands on?

Oh, yes. I have lots, but one is to have beautiful high ceilings with moldings and hang a Taraxacum S2 in the center, or a Taraxacum 88, or a polyhedral murano chandelier, or anything by Muille. All my dreams revolve around lighting!

Oh Lawdie...
I LOVE the lounger! you really did score, lucky girl with the lounger and a design appreciatin hubs.

I dream Art. I want a house with lots of wall space, height and good lighting. There are so many artists I adore but can't afford...so I'll keep dreamin, and buying those pesky, dollar-depleting, but dream-inspiring lottery tickets! ha!

You SO scored! I'm so happy for you and I hope one day to find one of those bad boys at that price point.
