Allergical to barcelona chairs?
allergical to barcelona chairs except the ones in tobacco suede...anyone?
Share:
 
rinqreation Allergical as in itch? Then the color/fix might have too many chemical leftovers in the chair.

olldbobbi Have you compared the fabric content between the tobacco suede and the other colors? Might be something in the fabric, or as rinqreation says a chemical leftover.

send4jack thanks for your comments nevertheless what I meant is I can't stand the view of a barcelona chair any longer, apart the ones upholstered in suede havana or tobacco

sondramartina I must stand up against "Arco" Floor Lamp insult ! :))Since I moved to NA continent I haven't had a chance to have ceiling light in the living room. Or to see one somewhere else.
Always some floor lamps,table lamps ,wall lamps...You get tired once you start turning them on and you never get nicely lit room. I hate sitting in semi -dark rooms
Arco lamp saved my life! :))

handymam hollybar, that website is hysterical... and most of it, I have to admit I am also in agreement with that they are things that are overdone and have become cliched.

olldroo Susanna, this site is enough to give you the grey hairs for starters!!!

olldroo send4jack - did this really accomplish anything, other than finding out what really lurks in the woodwork in Houzz.

rinqreation they had me at fake wood paneling (and the uggs, not used in snow, guess the first marketeer of those things lauchs his *^$* out..)

sierra251 How about "accent wall"? Room looks bad? You need to paint an accent wall!
3 months ago ·
olldroo Hey, ringreation - you leave our uggs alone - they are almost our national symbol!!! We don't have snow, just cold feet and they are actually very good in summer, they are surprisingly cool to wear then :)
3 months ago · ·
olldroo Haha sierra - particularly if it is the longest wall in a narrow room.
