don't stereotype your funiture!

This is an ad for Thomasville furniture (it's a Darryl Carter chair). Not only is the ad beautiful — the contrast of black and white and the curve of the chair with the type "tucked" into it, but, its message is right on!

How many times do I strongly suggest that you use pieces where they work, where they best suit your needs vs. where they are intended to be used? Wing back chair stuffy? Not always. Mix it up!

Excellent ad -- and wing back chairs can be traditional, retro, modern -- a classic shape, comfortable, beautiful --- never out of style.

Cass, thanks for stopping by. Couldn't agree more!

I agree. Most people would put armchairs like these in the living room by default, not knowing that it can fit in other great places. For instance, I have one in my bedroom, beside a console table. It looks amazing.
