I love that orange ottoman! Where is it from? Melissa and Ryan's World of Color House Tour \| Apartment Therapy San Francisco Flag this comment	2/9/10 2:25 PM
JG - my boyfriend and I were tossing the idea of leaving the front parts plain and having decals on the back side of the chairs so that when they're pushed in they can see the flair...business up front, party in the back! haha Victoria in DC - I actually live in Pittsburgh, I frequent a bunch of different places in hopes of some cool finds, I wish I lived in some ultra cool areas where the design atmosphere is pretty prevalent, but I have to make use of what I have! I sent my question in to the DC section of AT because it was the closest in proximity. supernormalist - you think that the little plastic chairs are an Arne Jacobsen design? That would be fantastic, but they don't seem to be anything in particular..maybe I'll double check them for any labels. I don't have very high hopes that they're anything special, but that would be marvelous! Once again, thanks for the tips everyone! I really appreciate the help -- I'm sure they're going to look spectacular! Apartment Therapy DC \| Good Questions: Identifying Thrift Store Chairs? Flag this comment	6/5/09 12:45 PM
lindseyf - the legs on your chair look much nicer, I for one, am jealous! I wish I could find some nice wooden dowels to replace the legs... Apartment Therapy DC \| Good Questions: Identifying Thrift Store Chairs? Flag this comment	6/4/09 3:10 PM
AyosLiving - your chair redo is very pretty, I can't wait to see the final product! Snailsalot - good luck! I like the way they turned out with the black, it gave it a bit of oomph for sure -- I'll post them sometime in my flickr account if you care to see! Liam - I figured they weren't worth anything and didn't really care about their history, but being only a couple of dollars and hopefully transforming them to something exciting is why I think I purchased them in the first place... Who knows, I may end up with covet-worthy chairs when I'm through :) By the way, I'm hoping to use these as dining chairs so I hope they turn out to be decent.

Thanks for the suggestions, so far :) I went ahead and cleaned the legs as best as I could and spray painted them a glossy black. As far as the seats go, I was thinking of probably spray painting them in a clear high glass to make a nice sheen and make them a bit more durable since it's plastic and not fiberglass (as I would have wanted). I think I was trying to find round seat cushions for them but have yet to find any that are pleasing to look at and comfortable.

patrick: haha that's true, it didn't..but who cares..I'm all about the vase! I don't know if I'd pay $25 for them quite honestly though. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Double Lobed Vases at Threshold Flag this comment	9/25/08 1:35 PM
sarahisaghost, there's a comments section when you add it to your shopping cart and then proceed to checkout, it's under the "payment information" area...not sure if this helps though; odd that it wouldn't let you pick a color..then again, they're all gorgeous.

hm, $25? That's odd because I bought them downtown Pittsburgh for $10 each along with various other shaped vases... Looks the same too.. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Double Lobed Vases at Threshold Flag this comment	9/25/08 1:09 PM
Isn't there any love for the east coast? I would love to represent Pittsburgh..not only do we have a lovely representation of an antiquated/vintage city mixed with some modern things here and there (we have flare!) but we have tons of art scenes and festivals that could be represented in AT (or vice versa for that matter)... ..I travel often enough, maybe that'll warrant an application....
