Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams

I had a wonderful time at the Champagne Book Signing Party last night at the Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams store in D.C. Here I am above with fellow D.C. bloggers Stefan of Architect Design and Michele of My Notting Hill. Their home furnishings have always been synonymous with relaxed comfortable style. But what really impressed me was how glamorous and runway inspired many of their pieces are. Here are some favorites below, with such influences as Audrey Hepburn, Paris in the 1930s, Art Deco, and Hollywood Regency. I also am looking forward to reading their new book The Comfortable Home-How to Invest in Your Nest and Live Well for Less.

Runway Chair

This is a great chair. Available from Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams, they describe the Too Sexy Sadie as a "pull-up chair featuring a sleek oval back with lean saber legs that are runway ready." This would make a great dining chair, but I could see it many places in the home:

1. In a foyer with a pair flanking a great chest or table.
2. As a side chair in a living room
3. As a desk chair
4. In a dressing room
5. In a bathroom
6. In a bedroom

It is available in a wide selection of fabrics, but I love this black and white stripe-very Hollywood Regency. This is a chair that works in many settings and will add a real punch to any room.
