I scream to a halt for chartreuse.
Just before the 4th, my friend and I trucked up to the Los Angeles Downtown Modernism show. I have been wanting to add a little color to our drab patio.
Previously I have complained (just a little) about our interior courtyard which **ahem** needs a little work. It is pretty plain Jane. Someday I plan to roof it and turn it into a bit of an outdoor room.
Um, hello!

Before you could say "atomic" these two architectural, sculptural wonders were in the back of my friend's truck. We just weren't totally sure which one of us would get to keep them. We found these cheery chairs at Grain LA who also had other patio furniture pieces with new plastic slats/tubes/cords and new powder-coated aluminum.
They are really comfortable and a tiny bit Sputnik. These chairs are at the high end of the modern furniture scale (meaning super modern, not super expensive). But heck, it's summer. Grab a Margarita and stay awhile.
And who is peeking out from behind Missy Chartreuse Lawn Chair?
I have a soft spot for Bitossi.
Who doesn't?
I think the patio looks way more summery now.

LOVE The color and those crazy cool chairs! It really is the perfect color for the outdoors. The patio looks very inviting... and yes, I'll take a margarita, please! Gorgeous pottery too. The ghost in the window reminds me of the ghost in my microwave! HA HA! (taking pictures is so fun)
ReplyDeleteYea I am usually pretty careful about those ghosts. But I kind of liked this one.
DeleteThose chairs are super fab. Love them. Cheers - CT
ReplyDeleteThey are kinda FAB...good word.
DeleteLove the color....love the chairs and of course, the pottery!
ReplyDeleteHOW COOL! Enjoy!
Hey Brooke, thanks!!!!
DeleteLove those chairs! They look great with your table and chairs with green cushions. And, of course, I'm green with envy over the big Bitossi piece. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Bitossi planter before so I got a little excited.
DeleteThose chairs absolutely party up your patio but why, why is there no margarita in your hand? Mr. Bitossi is incredible indeed but I fear that chalice is a tad oversized for even MY cocktails! In the absence of margaritas, may I suggest a Maximilian Affair in some snappy cocktail glasses?
ReplyDeleteHAHA!
DeletePretty snazzy. Love the chairs, and pottery is to die for, too.
ReplyDeleteThe pottery was the real find. The chairs are just a good time.
DeleteThe Bitossi piece reminds me so much of a table lamp we used to have. When a baby bird sees a human before it sees another bird, it becomes imprinted. Can this happen to humans as well?
ReplyDeleteI honestly think that lamp was a Bitossi.
DeleteLove the chairs! They are perfect and the chalice is amazing. I love the green and blue color scheme- so cool!
ReplyDeletedo you have any idea where to get the plastic cord? I have a set of vintage wicker chairs i'd like to re-weave. thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice ideas and vivid colors
