I'm not talkin' Spain here!

when i say Barcelona you think Spain, right? - well not me! - i think of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe who designed the 'Barcelona chair' for the king and queen of Spain in the early 1900's! - this chair will be my next and final furniture purchase for my living room - it will complete my 'look' ..

here's why i love it so:


many different designers have recreated this chair - it now is available in many different price brackets, colors, materials, and fabrics .. they have chairs, stools, beds, lounges, tables - all with the same 'design' in mind :o)


HAVE I CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT BARCELONA?!


PS - this weekend i did some moving and under a pile of clothes i found 2 diamond necklaces! - SCORE! - sad part about it all, i didn't miss them nor remember them - additionally i think it means i need NO more clothes! - not that i will actually live up to this, since Zara has a few things i'm heading to the mall for tomorrow!  ( what they have on-line and in-store seem to be very different, anyone else feel me on this?!?! )


Note to Bloggers:
i hope to be visiting and commenting on blogs this week!!!! - THANK YOU for every one's comments!!! - i miss you guy's, life has had me on the MOVE these last few weeks, just trying to catch my breathe!

  12. Ha! Love the Spain reference. You are right the Barcelona chair is really chic and old world at the same time. I would love to add this chair to my living room re-decoration, after I am done installing new hardwood flooring....If I only had an unlimited budget! Thanks for sharing these images :)
