So Sylvie

Chloe from One Kings Lane wrote to me recently about 'statement' chairs and asked if there was one that spoke to me. In terms of comfort I don't think this one is my fave, but for making a statement in a portrait I've always loved the Peacock Chair. In fact I referred to it in a five year old blog post of mine.

 

Here's an updated version of it:

 

Celebrities have favored them for special portraits:

Al Green

Last, but not least: Robert Plant

I do have an obsession with chairs. In fact, a journalist came to the barn last week to interview my son and in the article she refers to my chairs as an aside. I also have a chair board on Pinterest and a chair set on Flickr.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go listen to some Al green, T-Rex and Led Zepplin!
