Did I tell you one of my students found an Eames lounge chair on the street in Brooklyn once? A real one. She took it--hope some poor soul didn't leave it unattended while pulling his car around.

I read these kinds of stories on blogs all the time. It's like an urban legend! Eames chairs in the garbage all over the place! Seriously, I wish I lived somewhere this was likely.

I really want something like the woman who bought a Jackson Pollock painting at a thrift store for $5 to happen to me. Not going to happen where I live now though.

Closest I got to buying an Eames lounger was seeing one for $700 in the City Opera thrift store. Still kicking myself.

$700?! @ameliapond!

I faint. I cry.

I know @misoangry . I was young and dumb & the leather was pretty damaged. Of course I saw this tutorial on apartment therapy a couple months after:

That is incredible.

I couldn't do that. LOL.

[Deleted]

But I could! Look at this fine specimen I could pick up for $500. If it doesn't have bedbugs, I'll eat my hat.

LMAO.

Bon apetit.

[Deleted]

AND a Le Corbusier?! WTF?

Who are these people, and why are these chairs in such disrepair?!

[Deleted]

I have no idea. It's insane. If you just type Eames into the search you get a TON of great stuff that needs to be repaired.

[Deleted]

Hmm. I wonder who could repair this stuff for me here.

[Deleted]

I actually have a friend who could. I can ask if she's interested. She's a SAHM now, but she'd probably be interested in some freelance work.

I am temporarily poor from landscaping!

My IL's had Eames chairs hanging out in their garage. They don't match our house but we put them aside for when we move.

Cute picture too.
