I’m always keeping an eye out for the perfect reading chair so when I saw this “Vintage Martian Chair” on Etsy, I added it to a short list that might fit the bill. The chair is created by Spruce Home who carries fabulously retro furnishings. Now I’ll admit, this chair might be a bit too stylized for most rooms, but I love the lines and I think the fabric print is so fun (it’s an organic fabric created by Mod Green Pod) plus it looks super plush and comfy. Definitely a piece to keep in mind for future rooms!

…the 1:12 abyss looks back at you.

And yes, I just co-opted a Nietzsche quote into a blog about miniature world. Cool, eh!

So while I am pondering whether to dip my toe further into the abyss and also pondering whether - if in pondering - I am already dipping my toes further into the abyss; I discovered where Minimodern gets her mid century modern / Eames/ Snelling / Parker / Le Corbusier dollhouse chairs - they are Reac chairs.

I can’t remember where I saw it but someone suggested getting the box sets rather than buying the chairs separately - more economical.

I wish I could find that blog post so that I have objective “evidence”. Anyhoo, I found a collection of the five volumes sets on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250291642658#ebayphotohosting

And before you ask, no I haven’t bought them yet, i still teetering on the edge of the abyss trying to decide whether to stay where I am, descend gradually or dive bomb straight in.
