dumpster diving

July 1st, 2008

last week before we left on our trip to california, stephen was leaving our place downtown and drove by the old homeless shelter (it has recently been replaced by “the bridge” which is fantastic).  he saw they were throwing out a bunch of stuff including some furniture - he found these chairs; they are herman miller vintage eames fiberglass arm chairs!!! talk about diamonds in the rough.  so now we have five of them in our loft - absolutely beautiful and so much fun! i love them.
