Weekend Recap: Office Chair found!
I always love the look of a grand chair in a home office. Anna Spiro’s office from Absolutely Beautiful Things has always been one of my favorites:
{Office designed by Black and Spiro}
In my hunt for my dream office chair I also saw it featured in an office Ruthie Sommers designed:

Which lead me to find out that the chair was actually part of Ruthie’s Chapman Radcliff furniture collection and oh yea retails or $3,200. So not happening.
While I was at market I found this chair:
{Set of 2 for $1,483}
Pretty, right? It was love at first. I was so excited to get back home, set up a trade account and order one. Well my dream chair was only sold in sets of two, which again made it out of my price range. I felt defeated, but tried craigslist just for kicks and what should I find, but a lighting store on the island that was selling 4 of my dream chairs for only $199, which was way below wholesale!!!!!!
I ran there this weekend and I’m happy to say it fits right in:
While most of my office looked lovely and neat for my chair photo shoot I must keep it real and show you that the rest of it did not:
We were in Spring cleaning mood during the weekend which meant most of the house was turned upside down while we tried to get everything clean and organized.
If you interested in picking up a chair just like mine and are in the NY area then email me and I can send you in the right direction for my craiglist find.
Did you have any super buys this weekend?

ON THE BLOG
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.
It’s gorgeous! what a find.
You lucky girl!!! I have also been admiring that chair, but love the look of the bamboo version! It fits perfectly in your lovely office!!
I’d love to have 2 of those for either end of our dining table!!

wow that was a lucky find! I love the chair!
Wow, it is the perfect chair! What a great price too.
Love that perfect chair, but the rest of the room is just as spectacular!
It was meant to be! Who would of thought you would of found that chair so quickly on Craig’s list. Amazing. Are you going to paint it then or leave it in it’s natural state? I looks wonderful in your office. I was expecting a huge mess when you showed the real office, but heck, that looked clean to me!
Your office is so lovely, and the chair looks perfect!
Hi! I’m on LI, too and would like to know your source!

Sorry the chairs are all gone. They were a craiglist find from a lighting shop on the island. I had a couple of emails early today and they remaining three have been purchased.

Oh goodness, I LOOOOOVEEE that chair- my mind is racing trying to figure out where I could put one- just gorgeous. I had a great shopping weekend as well- I posted a picture on my blog today of the gold bamboo flatware set I won on ebay for $48- service for 12. So excited!!

No you did not! When things happen like that, it’s just so hard to believe! What a steal, thats goes to show, that you just need to be patient, and keep on searching! Gorgeous chair!
What a fab chair!!! So glad you found one for WAY less the your 2nd option!! 🙂
What luck! I love finding a deal. Your office is lovely.
I love the shape of your white lamp. Can I ask where you got it?
It’s actually from Home Depot. I don’t see it on their website anymore in white, but it looks like they still have it in a different shade: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202022392/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&superSkuId=202572816
I believe they still had the white in the stores as of two weeks ago.
Awesome, thanks so much for the link!
That is certainly a beautiful chair!
Seriously good score Camila!! I love it!
