Wish List Wednesday... Pair of X-Benches

The second item(s) on my wish list is a pair of X Benches. They seem to be in every room I see
these days, but maybe that's just because I really want a pair of my own!  From the bedroom,
to the living or front hall, they fit in perfectly everywhere!

I love Jonathan Adler's X Benches but they are a little of out my price range at $500 a pop.

Serena & Lily has some beautiful ones with contrasting pipping but they are even more expensive!



Serena and Lily Parker X Bench $650 each

I've been searching my usual internet haunts for a pair to reupholster but haven't found any great deals.


Vintage X Benches from Circa Who, $950 for the pair

There is good news though! I recently stumbled upon these very reasonably priced X benches at one of my favorite stores, Ballard Designs! You can choose from over 50 fabrics and prices start at $179 for white!


Ballard Designs X Bench, $179 to $369

 Now I'm just being extra greedy and waiting for them to have a sale/coupon to buy my pair!

Crazy About Chevron

One of my favorite patterns is Chevron, aka Zig-Zag or Herringbone. I just can't get enough of it!

Anthropologie's Decorator Glossary defines Chevron as "a familiar but decidedly modern decorative pattern, in which concentric rows of triangular shaped lines are stacked and repeated to infinity".

Not surprisingly, Chevron can be found in one of my all time favorite Jonathan Adler rooms.
(I want my dining room to look like this one day! Just need a few more bamboo chairs.)

So I've compiled my top 25 LOVE list of all things Chevron!

With St. Patrick's day tomorrow I have GREEN on my mind. Green trellis/lattice patterns have always been a favorite because they are so classic and remind me of spring!

Bamboo Chippendale Chairs

I have been OBSESSED with the Faux Bamboo Chippendale Chairs for a looong time. I drool over Jonathan Adler's pricey $650 chairs and day dream about my own (much cheaper) pair.

Well after a year and half of eBay, craigslist, etsy, and antique show searching, I've finally found the perfect pair!!

I scored these on eBay and they are en route to me as we speak! I'm not sure what color I will go with yet but here are some of my favorite inspirations. What do you think?
