One of my best friends recently purchased a great 60’s home and really modernized it by redoing the kitchen, wall colors and floors without changing the bones of the house (lots of unadorned windows, open floor-plan, etc.) The furnishings are great as well. Each room is layed out perfectly. In her bedroom, she had this great chair with a throw draped over the back. I was sure she dropped about $3000 on it. I asked her where she got it. “Ikea” she said. I was floored. We all know that Ikea furniture is infamous for being identifiable and it’s something that we all try to avoid, but in some instances (as long as you don’t do your entire house in Ikea) it can totally work. This picture doesn’t really do the chair justice. In the right setting, it can fool the snobbiest of furniture snobs.
