I am crossing my fingers . . . for a set of . . .

4 Vintage - Saarinen tulip chairs!!

why the modern edge you may ask??

well . . . I actually grew up in a very modern house . . .
and we had 4 of these chairs in the kitchen . . .
along with the Saarinen Table that went with it . . .



and a Nelson light fixture centered above it all . . .



the breakfast table sat at the end of a very sleek stainless steel and turquoise kitchen . . .
which had a very Mid Century Modern vibe to it!!!

The chairs and lighting were designed by . . .
two very talented bad boys of that time - including . . . George Nelson


and . . . Eero Saarinen
(with Eames on the left - another great mid century designer!)


I currently have an old farm house . . . and don't intend to go too modern with it . . .
but would absolutely LOVE to add a few classic modern pieces here and there
just to mix it up a bit!!


so there you go . . .
that is the type of vintage that I will be personally looking for at Farm Chicks??

Soooooo . . . what about you . . . what are you all looking for??
Would love to hear from you!!!
 
Can't wait for the fun to begin . . . see you all very soon!!
