I decided at the last minute to head out to some yard sales on Saturday morning. I only made it a very short block when I realized that some neighbors had set up a sale in the front yard. And they just happened to be a group of very talented local interior designers who were getting rid of some accessories and pillows, etc. Yippee!
Oh, and one groovy little chair:
For FIVE dollars! (that's the smug part)
I am now planning on finally reorganizing guest room/study so that this can be my computer chair.
It's no secret that I love Art Deco furniture. (If that's a surprise, re-read the blog description at the top of the page.) But I also have a weakness for mod Lucite furniture, and if you're careful with the lines of the pieces, they can go together well. There's also a lot of visual appeal to see-thru, airy furniture when you're living in tight quarters.
In a quick search I came up with a couple places to find similar mod contemporary styles.
Similar base, but a different chair shape. Found here.

Sourced here, but a quick web search will turn up tons of other retailers as well.

A pair like these could be pretty versatile, and they could blend in with a more traditional decor. And for any of you in the Atlanta area, one of my favorites, The Antique Factory in Chamblee did have a pair very similar to this a few months ago.

There's always some kind of lucite furniture on Ebay, and Craigslist may surprise you as well. Happy hunting....

The chairs with the curved arms/legs are my favourite.
