My 50,000th Ebay Purchase...

Well not really. But I swear it feels like it!! Recall this post where I was searching for some Louis chairs?!? Well, I was hoping to land 6 chairs for under $1000 and that is what I scored on Ebay!  
Just call me the negotiator....because this was a great deal! However, 2 things that I may have to change, the GOLD color paint to (probably) white....& in the distant future, maybe even removing the cane backing & replacing it with a solid back. For now, thankfully I'm HAPPY with my choice. 


The next thing I have to figure out is, will I be SELLING my current farm style table & chairs or just the chairs??!??  I will make that decision within a week or so. In the meanwhile, do any of you have any suggestions on what COLOR combo would work well for these chairs and maybe even a fabric suggestion??!? 

What would you do if these were yours??

In my search for Louis Style Chairs.....

I have a HUGE fascination for Louis Style chairs.  I regularly check Ebay to see if I can land a heck of a DEAL someday!  I haven't had much luck....I mean just about EVERYTHING you see that says "LOUIS" is over $1000!  Louis is such a BIG shot, he just doesn't want to give me the opportunity to land 6 CHAIRS for under $1000.  I mean come on, I would constantly blog about it and then you'd maybe even get a few more sales after.  Please Louis....appear before me and be just under $1000!!

Just curious, do any of you own a Louis chair?  Would love to hear where you purchased yours and if you got a good deal.

Yes, these chairs above are actually $875 for 6....but I am still uncertain about the cane backing...

Modani....Finally, Louis-Style Chairs

I've been searching for some relatively AFFORDABLE black or white Louis-style dining chairs for awhile now. After falling in LOVE with Michelle's dining chairs in Lonny Magazine, I finally came across Modani.  They are located in New York and sell an interesting collection of furniture pieces.  Everywhere else I looked, Louis style chairs were $350 & up! At Modani they run $219 each, I'm super excited about that! They also have the iconic Panton chair which also look pretty cool as dining chairs.

Check out Modani's furniture and let me know what you think ...I have a feeling I'll be shopping here in the near future!
