Yesterday evening I was driving around town with my husband as we finished up our Sunday errands and some of our neighbors had already starting putting out their trash. Of course as we drive by my husband makes a sarcastic remark and asks if there is anything good thinking I would say no. To his surprise I spotted a chair that made my heart skip a beat. It looked very similar to a certain Eames chair that I’ve always loved so I knew I had to snatch it up!
Of course I flipped it over right away to see if perhaps by some great miracle someone was actually getting rid of an Eames original! Don’t get too excited, because it wasn’t one, but for the price of free I knew I could bring it back to life. I’ll be doing a before and after on it later on this week so stay tuned for pictures!!!!
Anyway I didn’t just write all of that as a teaser for my upcoming before and after. Due to my great find I started searching modern furniture on Ebay and actually found some that I could afford.
Take a peek at these mini replicas that would look great in a home office or just placed in a bookcases around your house:
um AMAZING! my best friend from high school got an eames chair in yellow at a garage sale for 15.00..I tried to literally steal it from his apt one time
A chair after my own heart! I totally did not see the mini- til you said so and I love that, perfect for rings or just as part of a collection. Makes me want to play house.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
