Some fun and retro finds from CB2

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been traveling a lot lately for work. So although the renovations at home have slowed since I've been gone so much, I get to spend a little time checking out fun things from stores we don't have in Rochester.

First up: CB2

I went to CB2 in Atlanta. I have never been to a CB2 before and I was very impressed with the quality for the price. The designs were very fresh and fun. Here are a few things that I thought were especially nice in person.

These chairs were very, very comfortable. Actually, who cares about comfort when they would look so great on a retro patio! Or use them to add a dash of retro to a modern patio. They are even ON SALE right now!

And this chair is on sale for $199. I like this one even better!

So along the lines of "I like how it looks" is this sculpture: I liked it so much that I came home and ordered it.

A modernist sculpture. At $59.95, it's a bargain.

Another thing I came home and ordered were 4 of these Breuer-style chairs. They were extremely comfortable. Full disclosure: my husband cares WAY MORE than I do about how comfortable a chair is. But for those of you who value function over form, I can honestly vouch that they were very comfortable. They even bounce a little when you sit on them. There is no padding under the upholstery and it seemed pretty durable. I thought it would be fairly easy to clean. I ordered them for our old kitchen table before I found the reproduction Saarinen set on Craigslist. They are back-ordered and haven't arrived yet but I may keep them and pair them with the tulip table. If so, I'll use the tulip chairs in another room where they won't be used every day. We'll see...
