I'd love to replace the chairs that sit in front of the window. They are really showing their wear but are so stinkin' comfortable. Having them reupholstered is hardly worth it when I could likely have new chairs for less. The little Eames rocker is from Wire Furnishings.
Rachel also took a few photos of me at home in my living room. It was time for a new profile photo! Here is one of them.
Hope you enjoyed the look back. It's fun to see how tastes change over time!
