I wanted these chairs last summer. However, by the time we finished landscaping, the chairs were sold out! Well, this year there are stacks of PS VAGO chairs at Ikea!
When we got them home, I wasn't so sure. They seemed like bright white monsters. Now I can't stop admiring them!!
How do I to marry my love of modern and vintage...and not always vintage modern, either? I buy what I love and put it in place. It doesn't always work, except since I LOVE IT, I am probably the last person to notice! (I am referring to the row of aged bentwood chairs on the other side of the pea gravel patio, and my love of pretty gramma tablecloths!)
Is it time to arrange a blogger potluck at my place??
ps. we plan on staining the deck grey...
Yay. You know how I feel about them too :) went to Iowa last week and there were none to be found and admire. Boo. Enjoy. I wish I could come over and lounge.
ReplyDeleteSorry autocorrect, that's IKEA not Iowa. Why would I go to Iowa for chairs?
ReplyDeleteHey Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of different eras of furniture. That's what makes one's home funky, quirky and unique! It show's your personality and it TOTALLY works! It's funny, my backyard is so similar to yours. Deck off the house (next year we will have a new cedar one), dining and fire pit under a cedar structure designed after Earth Inc's design. We too have different styles and eras of furniture, but that's what makes it ours. When friends come over it's always the same comment, "this is so you". My husband and I take it as a compliment because we want our space to reflect our personalities and not have everything so perfect and matchy, matchy! (We like to be different). I think your backyard tells something about you and your personality. It's
interesting, fun, very cool and definitely not boring!
The chairs look so nice and add softer lines (curves) to your modern garden. Count me in for the blogger potluck! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour backyard looks lovely ,the chairs are stunning , it really shows your style .

i like them! they brighten up that space and breaks up the brown/green. would you put them away before rain and whatnot though? i feel like they could get dirty real quick. or coated with dried up dirt anyway.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get these in pink at the beginning of the summer. But wasn't sure if I would love them at home and for how long. Plus we're ignoring the outside right now...
ReplyDeleteYours look SO GOOD, I might reconsider them when we're doing the outside next year.
PS... umm potluck :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could do a book swap too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the look of them in your yard. The contrast of the white against the green is really nice. I think you can have a mix of both styles (at least that's what I tell myself since I have lots of old stuff and some new. It's unique!
ReplyDeleteOh and yes to the potluck. So fun!
LOVE that shot with the chair blurred in the background - very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love these chairs in your space!! Potluck you say? I'm in...could bring some Indian food!
ReplyDeleteIkea + white? I'm a fan!

Love the chairs and LOVE the pea gravel, as you know. Looks great. When IKEA does it right, they do it RIGHT.
ReplyDeleteOur yard was "done" when we bought the house - deck and hardscaping and landscaping. It's a tiny backyard but they did a good job planning it. We just bought some deck furniture too (had the table and chairs already). Now it just needs to stop raining out west!
The chairs look amazing in your yard. Your fence is so cool as well as the entire layout of your yard! Love your planters as well.
ReplyDeleteI think if you like it - it matches! ;) I love those chairs too and think they fit perfect around the fire pit!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look! It's like an art installation in your backyard, FAB! :)
ReplyDeleteThese work beautifully in your backyard. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think the chairs looks fabulous in your backyard, it has a very geometric look to it..not sure if that's the right word to describe it but either i LOVE it! Great choice! I totally get what you mean when you want to combine both modern and vintage styles...i get stuck sometimes too b/c its 2 complete different styles!
ReplyDeleteChairs are awesome! ...and I bet they stack! I'm in for the pot luck!
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying?!? I love the chairs against the wooden fence and the tall grey stone plants... i dunno, for some reason it looks like it suppose to be there. I wanted to know if those chairs from ikea are plastic???
Thanks Daiva! I needed to hear that!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOne for potluck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lulu!
ReplyDeleteI love these chairs!
I hope they are ok in the rain...since we will be keeping them out - dragging them into the garage all the time is too time consuming (the bentwoods only come out when company is over...even that is a pain!)
ReplyDeleteGO FOR PINK!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cheap!
I mean 'good value!'
ReplyDeleteTwo for potluck!
ReplyDeleteThree for potluck!
ReplyDeleteyes!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteFour for potluck!
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed!
ReplyDeleteI will gladly send some of this heat over your way!
That fence is ridiculously old! Earth Inc (landscapers) put in new posts and made the fence sturdy again. The fence is gorgeous! Wood ages so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks S!!!!
ReplyDeleteI need to hear that! Sometimes I forget it is MY yard, not a BLOG display, you know?
Thanks Rosa!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!!
ReplyDeleteSo different!
ReplyDeleteand I over think this stuff sometimes!
They stack!
ReplyDeleteFive for Potluck!
I think they are plastic
ReplyDeleteOmg you finally got those chairs! Yay! I love them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rosa: it's like an art installation. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWould love to come to a meet-the-bloggers potluck.
Potluck? I love potluck! I don't know if it will score me an invite but word on the street (well, my street anyway) is that I make a mean cranberry-walnut salad ... you know, just sayin. PLUS, I have many books to swap, if that sweetens the pot any .... :)
