kijiji and the power of photography
kijiji and the power of photography
so Im cruising through the kijiji furniture ads...
somewhere I really should NOT be allowed to wander unsupervised :)
and I come across these pics...

might not have stopped me in my tracks,
but a closer read revealed these are pics of
Ralph Lauren writers chairs...
giant upholstered beauties that are as comfortable as they are dashing.
In perfect condition.
Hmmm...
A pair of emerald green velvet armchairs are on my wish list for the family room.
But could these work?
They look a little worse for the wear in the pics, dont they?
A quick email exchange with the owner reveals they are indeed in perfect condition.
While I spend a few days considering working with this deep rich merlot hue in the future redo,
the seller emails me three times with huge price reductions.
By $375 I had no resolve left.

Pretty damn sexy, arent they?
I think if these had been the pics posted online they may have sold just a wee bit faster!
Of course now I need to change a whole bunch of other things in the design plan I had cooked up...
ah, the dreaded ripple effect!
But theyre worth it :)

ps. have a really, really good Crushing on Color post lined up for monday,
its delicious, truly.. stop by for decadent eye candy!
