I am loving… these Louis XVI Chairs!

Occassionaly, without any question of doubt, I stumble across an interior {or in this case a antique piece of furniture}, and I absolutely fall in love. Something speaks to me so strongly about it that I either want it for myself or I start scanning my mental list of potential projects that could use such a gem.

These chairs sang to me! I love to contrast of the organic textural {silk? No, linen} fabric and distressed wood finish, with the lovely punch of color in the Ikat pillows have. Take a tour of Eric Cohler’s pad over at the NY Social Diary and see what other gems he has packed in his visual treat of a home. I especially love that he used them in such a contrasting environment….

Also…below is a very telling quote by Cohler about the design biz, when asked to comment about Interior Design being a demanding profession:

People do not realize how demanding it is. They think you just go out to lunch and then you go look at some pretty fabrics. Not at all. If we eat lunch it’s in a cab or in an elevator. And the rest of the time we’re in the workroom or with a client or on the road. And we work until ten o’clock at night
