Simple and classy stools. They are surprisingly great looking decor.

I really love rich sort of piquant tones that are coming back into vogue, like these stools. Piquant's not quite what I mean, but close. Peppery, warm colors like umber and avacado, very popular when I was a kid (Avocado colored fridge! Eeep!) mustards.

'No Coast States' is funny. What do they call us in the midwest? "Fringe States' or 'Damp States'?

criv- I went through Omaha, Lincoln and Grand Island and you're right, usually there's something! But I didn't find much that hasn't been listed in previous scavengers :(

There is however this Bright Blue Lee West Original Space Chair that is totally fabulous, but comes with a heavy price tag! (well for Nebraska anyway)

No coast?! Michigan has 3,288 miles of coastline, more than any of the lower 48 states. Just sayin'. :)
