Nice Work Spaces

Our worspace is quite unfinished yet...


Yes : the bare and unstyled truth...

We managed to hide the printer in our TV-books-media solution.

I am also very glad that we found at Habitat a very nice office chair that met my easthetic criterias and my boyfriend's practical criterias.

However, we still haven't find the right office table. I was for a long time looking for scandinavian vintage desks like the one below.

We had some nice occasions on ebay, but eventually I think this would be too massive to be put in the corner of the living room, next to the very massive library.

I think I'd rather go for those good bones tables.

And maybe later add some drawers like these...


I found some good bones side tables on ebay, that could be painted :

But it's always the same story with ebay. You have to go get them, take them over in your car, etc...

And guess what???

Ikea makes this cuttie for about the same price... (Plus : my boyfriend likes it!)

NO. I am not sponsored by Ikea.... and I trully think I shouldn't have any more ikea piece in my living room. But...

And wouldn't it be very cute with this glam table lamp form Zara Home?


I don't know. I think I could be happy with that. And it would create a more formal and stylish nook in our interior.
What's your opinion?

Ideas for the Dinning Nook (3) : The Bertoia Chair

I am so so glad we (my boyfriend and I) made up our mind for the chair of the dinning nook.

I wanted a modern classic chair.

At first, my choice was the Eames chair.

I still love them, but I think they are a bit too industrial for me and would work better in a kitchen.

Then, I was truly loving this model from Habitat.

Which matches our office chair. I love how the leather warths up our interior. This is glam and cozy. But I think it would be too matchy-matchy (with the office chair) and quite "heavy" (because of the chrome and the leather).

It's not stricto sensu a design classic, but it reminds me those beautifull mid-century rooms.

Some other chairs came in discussion, like the Saarinen tulip chair.

But finally we agreed on...

 the BERTOIA WIRE CHAIR!

I love that's unformal yet elegant and that you can play with cushions to make it cozier or lighter. We still have to make our choice for the cushions though...

Apartment therapy just published an article on this modern classic chair.

And you? Do you like modern classics? Which is you favorite? Have you some? I'd like to know...
