Vintage safari chairs seem to be popping up in more and more interiors. I’m personally drawn to the clean and yet rustic style. The chair which sprung from campaign furniture in the 19th century was designed to easily break down for travel.  Mid-century Scandinavian designers such as Kaare Klint and Arne Norell created versions of the safari chair that are in high demand today. If you are considering purchasing a vintage safari chair or two for yourself and the price tag has you shying away, you may consider CB2’s expat lounge chair or Bed Bath and Beyond’s Safavieh Dilan Safari Chair.

On my search for the perfect safari chair, I’ve rounded up a few both vintage and contemporary that caught my eye…

Happy Friday! How was your first week of December? Mine was productive. I’ve stored away all of the Thanksgiving and fall decor and have started pulling out the Christmas lights, trim and ornaments. One area that I’d like to refresh with a festive wreath is our newly painted front door. It’s black with brass hardware like the one featured above. So I’ve been on the hunt for holiday wreaths and although didn’t find the beautiful one that hangs on this door, I did find a variety of styles that may work.

Friday Finds :: Emergency Prep

Wow what a week! The One Room Challenge big reveal was definitely a highlight and I am touched by all the nice comments and support. Thank you so much!

However, the week was not without other challenges. You may know from my Instagram feed that we had a big snow storm here in the Sierra Nevada mountains. In addition to losing some trees (even some blocking the driveway, yikes!), we lost power for almost two days. It had me pulling out the emergency kit, flashlights and other essentials. It made me think more about emergency preparedness and what items I found most helpful during the outage. I’m sharing a few here today:

Today, I’m deviating from interior design and letting you in on a little obsession of mine. Handbags. They can make my heart go pitter-patter. Handbags with fringe are currently top of my list for the season. I’m carrying Rebecca Minkoff”s Julian Backpack with fringe (now 40% off!). Love it!

Here are a few other fab fringe bags for fall that caught my eye:
