Alicia over at
Thrifty & Chic has a great blog and on Mondays she reviews model homes in her area. This past Monday she showed
this navy blue and pink themed home. I noticed the living room chairs with the bead-style spindles right away.

My immediate thought was that they were a vintage find, repainted and reupholstered. Between Monday and Friday I thought about these chairs more and more. Last night the obsession culminated into a google search frenzy. Where to begin? What to look for?
The bead-style of the turned leg reminded me of a Jenny Lind bed
So I started my search there. Sure enough, Land of Nod has a Jenny Lind style chair:
Something in my searches led me another name for this little beauty, a
spool chair. This seem to get the best results. Lay-Z Boy actually sells one too for between $1,500.00 and $1,700.00.
Another retailer, Z-Gallery, sells a similar item for $599.00
I'm dying to get a couple of these beauties into my living room space but buying two just isn't in the budget right now. I'm convinced I will be able to find something at an antique market, flea market or consignment store. It's probably going to to take a while, but I'm patient. With garage sale and antique market season upon us, my dream might not be so far off. Speaking of which, I'm headed over to an estate sale and some garage sales this morning. Wish me luck!
What are you obsessing over lately?
Happy DIYing!
