I am blessed to have each of you as a reader and friend and I appreciate all of your support from the bottom of my heart.<br />     O.K. so, I always wonder why great design has to be so out of reach for folks like myself who actually have a budget. Do you ever have that thought? For e.g., I am smitten with <a href="http://designaddictmom.blogspot.com/2010/09/design-within-reach.html">DWR</a> but cannot afford most of the things I love there. So far, I’ve bought only 3 or 4 pieces from them, BUT, I really cannot make it a habit to shop there; way to exorbitant, plus, <strong>I. have. children to. clothe. and. feed.</strong><br />     What’s the alternative; shopping smartly with a sharp eye and seeing the potential in pieces. The beauty above is a vintage <a href="http://adrianpearsall.com/">Adrian Pearsall</a>.  It caught the hubby’s eyes a couple months ago when we were visiting a store called <a href="http://www.hipsteriamodern.com/">hipsteriamodern</a> in Raleigh. If you’re in Raleigh, N.C., they are worth a trip!  He got it home, chose the fabric and dropped it off at the same gentleman who reupholstered my <a href="http://designaddictmom.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-thrift-rocker-and-ottoman-for.html">rocker and ottoman</a>.  Now that it’s home, I think the hubby is going to have to go hunting for another chair for himself when he returns. This is MINE!!<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5S5M0AWrH2A/UAym9qGQR5I/AAAAAAAADEw/GXOUkFxk5EE/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />.  Do you notice the depth and the height; sheer comfort I tell you!
