Suzanne Kasler for Hickory Chair

Phew... Readers it was a long weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with preppy boyfriends family. Preppy Boyfriends Mother made my birthday very special, she even had a beautiful cake with filigree icing for me. I was touched! While I'm getting caught up at work, I keep finding myself thinking of chairs. That's right chairs. I have a love affair for structure backed, side chairs, with scroll legs. I am sure there is some technical design term for the specific type of chair, I however don't know it... do you?

Anyway, while reading Southern Living on the patio at the preppy family home, I saw a chair... not just a chair, a vision. I have thought of this chair everyday, and thought of all the wonderful ways I would use this chair in a room... It is the Alexandra Side Chair designed by Atlanta based designer Suzanne Kasler for Hickory Chair (all photos courtesy of Hickorychair.com).

Is this not the most stunning side chair? I love the detail and interest it adds to this room...

While drooling over the Alexandra I also found several other stunning chairs on the Hickory Chair website. Each of these beauties remains far outside my price range, but a girl can dream right?

The last two images are benches, also on the Hickory Chair website. Aren't they simply stunning? Okay, enough drooling for one day...
