coffee and cream...


When something feels right to you and then it seems to hit a positive note with others, the idea of tweaking it isn't always on the top of the list, at least that's the way I feel about it. That was the case with the HARLOW chair in the rust/orange/mango floral fabric.

It took awhile to get all the pieces together--the right fabric on the perfect frame with the appropriate chair legs. Making all that work along with keeping in mind manufacturing and shipping constraints in order to stay within a reasonable price point (under $300 retail), AND infusing quality and comfort was enough of a challenge for all involved in producing this chair. So when it was finally accomplished, I wanted to move onto the next design challenge, NOT repeat this one....UNTIL, the fabric team I was working with said they wanted to develop our look in a "coffee & cream" shade.

OK, now it's all over. COFEE & CREAM?!

Are you kidding me? Of course I wanted to develop it in coffee & cream. All they had to do was find a way to work in the words, chocolate, cheese, meatloaf sandwich, pasta, cake, pie, cheeseburger & fries, bread and wine into the conversation and I would have rolled over and played dead. Well, luckily for me they didn't so I was spared the humiliation, but we did go forth with the coffee & the cream!

May I present to you my HARLOW chair in coffee & cream now on SALE at OVERSTOCK for $269.99!

I've worked myself up into a serious lather. I'm making some coffee now...
