The Art of Chairs


Monna and I love to go to furniture stores, flea markets, yard sales, house sales, thrift
shops and any place that sells new or used furniture and accessories. There is nothing like
spending the afternoon piddling around and discovering things that move us. It does not
matter whether we are looking for something in particular or not. The one item that we
are both obsessed with is chairs. We both enjoy finding old chairs with good bones and
giving them a new look or finding a new unique chair that will fit into the right space. A
chair is a necessity but an interesting chair can also be a work of art. Take a look
