Chair search and Dayna Decker...

I'm on the hunt for two modern leather chairs for the seating area in the kitchen of the new house.  The area is large enough for two large chairs with a occasional table between them.  This spot is going to be great to sit with a drink, read a book or work on my laptop. 

I want the chairs to be super comfortable, but look good.  A lot of modern furniture is super cute, but uncomfortable.  My decor is modern, and all my pieces are confortable with the exception of one, my sofas - The Menlo Park

sectional in one of the family rooms.  I love it to death, its gorgeous but I don't find myself spending a lot of time on it.  The leather is a bit stiffer that I like.  I haven't decided if it will be going to the new house this Spring or not....   It's just over a year old, and I know I won't get anything close to what I paid for it if I sell it.  The majority of all my furniture is new, and I really don't want to buy anything new besides the chairs and a new washer and dryer. Trying to keep expenses down.

So, this weekend I went looking for chairs.   I think navy blue or red leather would look nice.  Not a lot of options in Dallas for modern furniture, well let me restate this - not a lot of "affordable" modern furniture  options in Dallas. 

Someone told C and I about a modern consignment store called Dulce.   So, we went to check it out.  They had some nice pieces, chairs not so much.  I did see some red chairs that looked cool, until I examined them closer and saw  the condition was not up to par.  I have some time, so I will continue to look for the perfect pair.  Store suggestions welcomed - online or off!

We also stopped in a store I have been wanting to visit for a few months called Napa Home - seemed that everytime we passed it, they were closed.  Finally got in there, and what a treat!  There were some beautiful things in there.  On the pricey side but awesome nonetheless.  We were introduced to the candle and home fragrance line by Dayna Decker.  Her candles are the sexiest candle sculptures I have ever seen!!!  Really!  I was blown away by them.  She calls them Luminesse Sculptures.  They are expensive as hell!  Priced from $365 - $700.  They are on my wish list :)  I told C she could get me one for my house warming gift.  Let's see what happens *smile*  A girl can dream can't she?

From the website:
A new dawn lighting concepts, The Luminesse Sculpture is statuesque in form and elemental in function. An object of light that is revolutionary in every detail from its patented longevous wick system, to emanation of tantalizing essences, to the organically modern shapes and materials. Providing both artistic expression and provocative ambience, one does not just light an illuminating sculpture, one experiences it. The perfect fusion of form and function manifested in light.

Ooo! Love furniture shopping. Have you been to EQ3? They opened one here last year. I searched their site and they have a store in Dallas. I've only bought accessories there, so I can vouch for the furniture, but here's a nice looking chair...

One of my dreams is to have a house build, it'll happen some day over the rainbow. As far as store suggestions . . . . I'm a thrifty kind of crafty chica. I would take a look as some online places, because there are many stores that would take the items back if they weren't exactly what you wanted or if there were something wrong with it. One of my friends suggested Overstock.com. You could also look to see if some stores near you that have web sites with more product selection. Sometimes stores like that are willing to ship items you're considering to the store so you can make a decision as to whether it's what you're looking for before you buy
