This pair of stunning drum back chairs are styled in the manner of Samuel Marx. They have a crème lacquered finish and are reupholstered in a mushroom colored fabric. The chairs have a unique shape and a wonderfully tufted seat cushion. They make me want to sip on pinot noir and watch old French films.

Woof Woof. Do you live in a tiny apartment but you desperately want a man’s best friend. Designer Aaron Spenser (also originally from Kansas) is here to your rescue. He has created pillows that look like the shape of a crime scene outline but instead of humans he uses dogs and cats. The front of pillow has a graphically printed animal. The back is a neutral cordoray for added comfort. No intruder will want to mess with this pup.
