apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I'm excited about that Snille chair. Seems like a good low-budget solution to me Eames Shell Chair dreams inspired by this: http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/042408emmy/emmy1

i own the snille for seating at my computer desk. it is surprisingly comfy, takes up a little amount of space :D

When my son was small I bought several of those cheap poster frames with the edges that slide on and off, and a piece of white poster board as backing for each. I'd display the artwork he brought home from school, rotating frames, so each piece was displayed for a couple of weeks. He loved seeing his creations on the walls and I loved seeing his little face light up, and how proud he was to point out to visitors that he was the artist.

When my son was in preschool a few years ago, I picked up three shadowbox frames and used them for collages he had done. Even though the materials are things like bottle caps, painted popsicle sticks and scraps of fabric, in the frames they look surprisingly good. A while back, he wanted to keep them in his bedroom, and I paid him $10 so I could have them "on permanent loan" in my living room.

That's an amazing painting. That kid is going places.
