There's just something about these colorful chairs located in front of a restaurant in Soho that called out to us. We really like the funky little legs and feet, and the peeling paint -- and we imagine that if we found similar ones at, say, Alameda, they'd make a great little perch outside our front door for us to set down bags while we juggle keys, our dog, etc.











holy cow! i actually have a picture of these chairs sans signs when i was in NYC in early 2006!

Hah - I walk by these everyday... so tempting. I think that's why the chain is there.

They're interesting to look at in situ, and it's fun that they've been there so long and attracted so much attention. But as far as having them at home--this Emperor has no clothes.
I don't mean to be argumentative or critical. It's just that there are three trendy terms I'm getting weary of:
"Whimsical"
"Funky"
"Distressed"
