shopping chairish

Since Chairish launched several months ago and I posted about it here, its inventory of goods has just exploded. It has become one of my go to sources for shopping and design inspiration and I check it's new arrivals section almost everyday. I love the way the site is organized and how you can search by product type, location, maker or style. Judging by their press and their increase in stock, I am guessing that Chairish is doing very well for itself and hopefully will be around for a long time to come. See below for a selection of items that I have been coveting and my thoughts on how I would use them. 

I love this cane and rattan asian style sofa listed by The Brass Peacock on Chairish. Its a great size and would look amazing with new upholstery and tons of mixed pillows. I would put it outside or on a screened in porch - very boho chic. 

At work, we just recently used sconces just like these in a powder room and they look pretty great. They are a bit funky and very 70s glam but paired with the right wallpaper and accessories they look totally fresh and fun. 

I love these chairs. Their style is classic mid century yet the brass and rattan make them unique and very one of a kind. I would use them in an entry flanking a console table with some gorgeous lamps and a big mirror. 

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! See you Tuesday!

resource review: chairish

Over the weekend, I discovered Chairish. Created by a husband and wife team who found it difficult to sell their high end furnishing, Chairish is a curated, online marketplace that allows people to easily sell their pre-owned quality home items to other design minded individuals. The team at Chairish sets the criteria that items be "stylish, in good shape and offered at a great value". Sellers set their own prices but are encouraged to mark things at 25-30% of the estimated retail. To sell items, you fill out a simple form, take high quality photos and submit your pieces to be listed. Chairish takes 20% of each sale and covers payment as well as assists in the shipping process. A nice added feature if you live in the San Francisco, New York or Los Angeles area is that you can search listings in your immediate vicinity and can arrange for local pick up. I am not an expert but the pricing seems reasonable and they have some really great stuff. Below are a few items that I can currently eyeing. 

Mid Century Emerald Velvet Chair - $900 

Brass Gazelle Bookends - $295

Vintage Oil Painting - $400

Vintage Brass Pendant Light - $975

Yellow Gourd Lamps - $200
