Only Because I Am In Love…

Deb Savvy — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 03:17:20 +0000

I was at a lovely holiday party recently and fell in love. No. Not with the host or hostess. And not with one of the other guests, either. I fee in love with this Easy Lounge.

OMG! Stunning isn’t it! And it looked fabulous in the room, too. And comfortable!

I loved it so much I had to track it down and post a picture – if only to pay homage to the great design and workmanship.

The Easy Lounge is hand-crafted with fine attention to detail. The smooth, sensous curves exhibit an Asian inspired minimalism that feels right at home in the contemporary world. Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE, represented at Vivavi, one of New York’s premier sources for original designer furniture and decor made from sustainable and ecofriendly resources.

Design on Demand

Deb Savvy — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:00:40 +0000

We’re living in an on-demand world these days. Sometimes it can be really hard to deal with the reality of something that may not be available exactly when, where and how we want it. I had a stunning and harsh brush with reality not too long ago while shopping for dining room chairs. The salesperson turned to me and smiled. “8 to 12 weeks”, he said. Forget that! They weren’t even custom chairs and they weren’t even the exact chairs I had in mind. I want design on demand. Don’t you?

Design Inspiration a la HGTV

Deb Savvy — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:19:37 +0000

Did you catch the latest episode of Design Star on HGTV? I love this show – it’s like Top Chef for interior designers.

I’m a total addict. On the last episode, the designers were each given a ‘white box’ room and had to design it with inspiration from a certain foreign country. Their demo rooms were completely white and completely empty, but for a few pieces of totally modular furniture from LoveSac.

I knew that the LoveSac furniture was cool – but I had no idea how cool it was until I saw what some of these wanna be design stars did with it. So cool!

Searching for Adirondack Chairs?

Deb Savvy — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 20:40:53 +0000

Adirondack furniture is rustic furniture that was first created in North America in the 1800s. It was originally made from hewn timber, bent branches and logs. Adirondack chairs were initially designed to rest more comfortably on mountainous inclines, to withstand nature’s harshest elements, to provide solace to inhabitants of national parks, and to harmonize with nature. All of which combines to make the Adirondack chair the perfect choice for your urban (or suburban) outdoor space.

Bench Talk

Deb Savvy — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:07:55 +0000

I’ve been shopping for a small attractive bench, something to keep near the front door. And I found something WONDERFUL!

East meets West. Jakarta, dubbed the “Jewel of Asia” by European spice traders, has long been a rich mix of Eastern and Western cultures and styles. Dutch and British influences are evident in the architecture and décor of this ancient Indonesian trading port. That distinctive style is captured handsomely in this Jakarta Hotel Bench – Brown . Finely crafted of renewable, locally grown bamboo and rattan, which helps the local economies and also discourages deforestation of precious rain forests. The hand-caned seat is crafted by skilled artisans following generations old tradition. Sturdy and practical, with a rich java colored finish, this piece is a perfect accent at the foot of the bed, or anywhere that needs a little spice. $388 at Soft Surroundings .

Glorious Green Seating

Deb Savvy — Sun, 04 May 2008 05:29:55 +0000

Airy and sophisticated, the Gotham Side Chair is a model for optimizing materials. The webbing is surplus automotive seat belts and the lightweight frame is bent laminated maple, an extremely resource efficient material. Made using non-toxic water-based adhesives.

The “Sacs” that made LoveSac famous, put simply, are massively oversized bean bags filled with chopped Durafoam instead of styrene beads, and comes with a two-lifetime guarantee never to go flat, or break. The Durafoam is far more comfortable and resilient than beanbag beans—more like a gigantic pillow, than a stiff beanbag. LoveSac’s latest invention, the Sactionals, is a cross between upholstery and Legos. With lifetime guaranteed wood frames upholstered in foam and fabric, Sactionals consist of 2 simple pieces, “Bases” and “Sides,” that can be combined in any quantity in any configuration imaginable to build any furniture desired—no tools necessary.

Have-to-Have Helix

Deb Savvy — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:12:31 +0000

These pieces rock! Carved from sustainable blond mango wood, and finished with an oil wax to a rich lustre, each gracefully twisting stool performs admirably as a display stand, end table, or as an extra seat for unexpected visitors. Created from a single piece of wood, some “checking” – cracking along the grain – naturally occurs. Variations in color ensure that while no two are alike, all are hand crafted, start to finish. 10.5″L x 10.5″W x 18″H.

Helix Stool (set of 2)

Sold in a set of two for $450. $20 shipping surcharge applies. Available at VivaTerra – Eco Living with Style. Find natural home décor, organic gifts and more.

Seating Problem?

Office chair got you down? Have you ever found yourself wishing you could sit on something else? Anything else? How about this. You can sit on your balance ball! Who knew?

BalanceBall Chair. Ergonomic back support chair.
Was: $100.00 Sale: $80.00

Every time I workout with the balance ball, I find myself thinking how comfortable it is when I sit down on it. And how easily my spine stays in a neutral position. And now the ball can be a chair. And you can sit on all day long! What a brilliant idea! Why didn’t I think of that?

Working at Home Rocks….

Deb Savvy — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:51:39 +0000

For the most part it is pretty fabulous if you’re lucky enough to work at home. But working at home has its downside, too. One is that you’re never very far from your office. The other downside to working at home is that you’ve got to pay for all your own office furniture.

Because my office is literally smack in the middle of my house – in a semi-open room adjacent to the kitchen – it’s really important to me that my office is clean, organized and attractive. And because I’ve got to pay for everything myself – I bargain hunt. I want the best (and most attractive) office furniture and file storage that I can find – but I don’t want to spend a penny more than I must. Like the Office Furniture Sale and Closeouts at EverythingOfficeFurniture.com.

If You’re Expecting a Crowd…

Deb Savvy — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 10:50:05 +0000

And you need a few more folding chairs, here’s my helpful hint. I order them from Office Depot. They’ve got a really nice selection of folding chairs with many options in the $15 price range, including chairs with padded backs and seats.

Orders over $50 generally ship for free and best of all, if you live in the vicinity of one of their bricks and mortar stores, your order won’t even ship. They’ll deliver directly from the store to your house the next business day. Sometimes I’ll even order an extra chair or two if I need a few office supplies and I need to ’round up’ my order to take advantage a free shipping or special discount offer. They’re sturdy and comfortable. For a particularly formal dinner, a folding chair ‘dress’ adds the perfect finishing touch.

Tired of playing musical chairs at Thanksgiving dinner? Family growing faster than your dining room set? Here’s a great tip for extra seating from an unexpected source. When I need extra folding chairs for a big event, I don’t borrow or rent anymore. I buy. From the office supply superstores. They’ve got tons of superior quality, sturdy yet inexpensive chairs. I’ve been buying a neutral biege steel chair with faux leather padding on the seat and back for about $20 a chair. These chairs are really comfortable and built to last. Whenever I need a couple more, I order them. Orders over $50 are delivered free – and in most areas delivered the next day directly from the store.
