My Dealer

Yesterday, I headed to the other side of town...to see my dealer.

I'm a junkie for the Midcentury Man.

I got hooked on a slipper chair by Robsjohn Gibbings for Widdicomb. I almost kept it but I gave it up for RJ's master bedroom. I'm so giving.

The finish needs a little spiffing up and it is going to need some new clothes. Larsen's butterscotch velvet for the chair and a little silk ikat bolster by Dedar will do just fine. Just like how we are dressing his bed. Matchy-matchy...but in a really good old school kinda way.

It's the perfect slipper chair to keep his new bed company. Bed by Thom Filicia. En route.

Never one to deny myself, I loaded up six vintage dining chairs by Baker Furniture for my own house.

They are from the same Far East collection by Michael Taylor as my dining table. The backs of the chairs are kinda low...but I'm okay with that. MT was.

Out with the six Louis XVI chairs. Any takers?

The Baker boys will get the same blue Kravet velvet that I just put on these vintage Klismos chairs that anchor the ends.

A couple of yards of the same Samuel & Sons flat braid and spaced nailheads around the seat, too.

Sweet Jesus. Comfy dinner for eight. Soon.
