i think so lol.
I love the wood shell. The chair reminds me of the central sofas in the Lutetia’s tea room. The wood casing reminds me of boats and also their sizes. Nothing better than a large chair that one can bundle up to read a book or scroll through the forum.Apparently, my taste is a bit corporate as per DH
I like this couch (scroll down underneath the Jupiter lounge chair )
MCM with lacquer and ornate French pieces sounds wonderful. Not something one sees everyday, but definitely something people will remember and be inspired by.I love that chair! Does he mean like hospitality?
I think blending in MCM works with nearly all designs. I’m pretty eclectic, I lean a little masculine probably.
MCM works so well with ornate antiques imo. Some of my favorites rooms have MCM and brightly lacquered ornate French pieces. So fun!!
I have a great deal of fun sourcing pieces for our home. I like finding my fave few and asking DH to help pick… he thinks he’s designing lol
My taste is all over and I like to choose slowly because expensive regrets haunt me lol
We moved to our current home 2.5 years ago and I’m still filling it. Waiting on some really fun pieces right now, I love it!

Filling a home is a full time job. It has taken me well over 7 years to get to a place where I don’t reshuffle every room every couple months. I mostly buy at auctions, estate sales, online second hand platforms, and even Craigslist, so the hunt is the most fun for me. Back in February, I found a Mario Bellini marble side table for just $100 on Craigslist. I couldn’t believe my eyes and instantly drove up to pick it up. Thankfully, I had just the place for it and didn’t have to rethink the space.
I love all the stories and memories behind every piece whether it’s a heart shaped rock my daughter found or lacquer boxes I brought back from Myanmar. Finding the perfect fun piece is just so exciting!
There are a few things that I had read or heard about furnishing homes that have stuck with me.
1: you can never have enough chairs! And certainly don’t be afraid to mix and match.
2: never, ever furnish a room or home from the one store.
3: never forget live plants whether they are flowers or potted plants. Side note: this one renowned Parisian florist (completely forgot his name) once told me that bouquets are most beautiful right before they die when the leaves and petals are no longer as crisp and perfect.
I think this also pertains to a living space: furniture that has been used and shows some wear and usage is when a room truly completes itself.

That's beautiful. You have exquisite taste! I've been on the hunt for outdoor furniture for our main deck and finally settled on the Roda Eden sectional. Need something for our upper deck so I popped onto the shopharbour website to see your choice, and found one that would be suitable upstairs application, so thank you!Teak travertine outdoor dining room table, chairs, couch, coffeetable, and arm chairs
(DH’s picks. He didn’t want anything that looked like indoor furniture.
And, I am just grateful that the pieces are in stock)
Although I’m not crazy about matched furniture, this was easy

I love the Harbour and (almost) wish I had seen it before deciding on the Eden, but we have a curved deck and the pieces we chose fit perfectly. And yeah, the prices are downright Luckily the Harbour looks great for our other application! (I'm specifically looking at the Avalon 2-seat sofa). The Roda Eden decision has been about a year in the making figuring out the fabrics, specific configuration etc. We're getting 2 Laze chairs to go with it. Going whole hog on our deck this year since we redid the surface last year in ipe and tile. Bonus is that we plan to take this with us if we do make a move further south as we retire. The sectional will have 2 seats with backs, then the trapezoidal piece then a backless piece on the other side that can be either seating or a table. Previously I had (still have) a Costco "woven" units that cost me $2K 7 years ago (so that owes me nada!). Wanted more seating but it's no longer available so now IThanks so much @WingNut I just googled roda Eden sectionals , and they are all stunning! I love all of the configurations and colors.

While harbour isn’t cheap, our interior designer feels it’s on the more reasonable side of the crazy price spectrum that is outdoor furniture and sturdy enough to handle the dirt and pollution of the city.
The harbour SA also told us that harbor furniture covers don’t have ties, so we should get furniture covers on amazon or something. would Love to get recommendations if you have any!
