The Very Versatile Eames Lounge

6/27/2014

I tend to get obsessed with things. Like really really obsessed and it drives my husband nuts. I'll get fixated on something and just talk about it excitedly for weeks. One of those things right now is arugula (yes the bitter lettuce... it's so good!) and the other is the iconic Eames lounge chair.

I've talked about these chairs for long enough that I've finally convinced Chip that we should get one. So we are! YES! I've been tormented by the choice of color for weeks... with this type of investment careful consideration must be made. Black is so classic and versatile, but white is a fresh new take on this iconic piece. At the end of the day my practical side has won and I've decided to go with the classic black leather... the next tormenting decision will be All Grain or Dream Cow... All Grain or Dream Cow.... doh!

I've been nervous to really make any big investments in furniture because I never know where we'll be from one year to the next (renters dilemma), but there are just so many different ways you can style these chairs and I am confident that the piece will look great in any home down the road as our style and tastes evolve.
