Sitting Pretty!

The second piece was a complete suprise and I love it!
It's a Barcelona chair from Eurway - which also was a great find!

Starting Fresh --first modern furniture purchases on my own!

Currently living in a cookie-cutter home, there is little room to distinguish one house from the next on the outside. On the interior there is room to do a few things - but once again, I had to adhere to builders' contraints and strict neighborhood convenents. I have done only the basics in modification with paint color and innovative thinking, as I don't plan to stay here much longer, and want it to be any easy sell when I put it on the market. So for me, starting fresh in my quest for a modern space I thought I will purchase a few nice pieces of furniture each year that I love instead of just filling up my house with pieces just to have (which is currently what I own). I really want to my home to be a reflection of me and my personality and my very favorite things.

My first piece I bough in 2006 - Nelson Bench (a steal at Modern Collections)!

Research Road!

So for the most part, everytime I find something I have to have - which by the way is often - I tear it out and stick in my big WISH LIST binder! After gazillions of magazines like Dwell, Metropolitian Home, Innovative Home etc...... and catalogs from every cool place around, I'm getting a pretty good stack of ideas accumulating!

Besides print research I am always bookmarking the sites that I frequent on a daily basis - this blog will be a great place to share those with others. I figured this blog will document my search in obtaining ideas/pieces for MY PERFECT MODERN SPACE - and perhaps along the way, give you ideas for yours!

Today I've begun the research with some sure fire links that every contemporary furniture lover must know.
