At Home Again we are loving a pair of consigned wingback chairs currently on our sales floor, and we’re all dreaming up different ways we’d use them . . . .  Here is an image of one of the chairs in the identical pair:

HAD Wingback (1 of pair)

Although we all know the traditional use for a wingback in a seating area, such as in a living room.  However, today there are many more modern takes on the wingback.

Here are some examples of designers using wingbacks as desk chairs:

Traditional Floral Wingback

Modern Neutral Wingback

Large Modern Wingback

Today designers also us the wingback as a dining dining chair, an interesting way to add both comfort and height the look of the kitchen or dining area.

White Wingback End Chairs

Here the designer used wingbacks around the table as the only type of dining chair.  We love the result!

Wingback Dining Chairs

Designers also continue to use wingbacks in living rooms, even in modern and transitional spaces.  In this transitional space, the designer upholstered a pair of wingbacks in a modern geometric pattern that makes them look very of the moment.

Pair of Wingbacks in Geometric Pattern

In this modern space, an armless wingback offers height on one side of the room, while a modern chaise (similar to one currently available at Home Again!) offers a horizontal line on the opposite side of the room.

What would you do with the pair of wingbacks at Home Again??

Our friend Brooks was perusing this month’s House Beautiful, and when studying the photos he realized he recognized some pieces currently available at Home Again!  The article features a Boston apartment designed by Sister Parish, and updated by her former employee, interior designer Libby Cameron.  The space is filled with lovely accessories, some of which you can find at Home Again.  We are loving the sconces in this dramatic living room!

Check out those killer sconces!

"Eli" Salon Chair in Ecru Linen $880

As most of our shoppers know, at Home Again we not only have consignment, but also the occasional new piece selected for you by the owners!  We only purchase items new that we know we’ll be able to offer you at discount from the MSRP!  One of our favorite places to buy new pieces is Halo Styles, who also distributes antique reproductions to ABC Carpet & Home and Restoration Hardware. Here are some of the Halo-Styles pieces we currently have in stock:

Slip Covered Dining Chair with Bow Detail in Ecru Linen $275

These dining chairs are so comfortable! And the neutral fabric makes them an easy addition to any dining space.  In the store, we also arrange them as side chairs, which are always useful for additional seating in any space.

"Colama" Round Tilt Top Table $525

This tilt top table not only has a gorgeous reclaimed pine finish, but also is very compact.  It can be easily tilted into place to fit flat into a closet or attic space, and then reopened for use!

"Bilbao" Lounge Chair in Ebony Leather $1800

We love the masculinity and sleek lines of this mid-century inspired piece.  The leather on it is finished so beautifully!

"Santiago" Accent Table in Antique Soap $265

Such an easy side table to place in nearly any room.  We like to call this type of side table a “functional” table, because it not only has a drawer for storage, but also a shelf for stacking magazines, books, etc.  All too often a side table has little to offer as from a convenient place to rest a drink or the remote.. .

Cambridge Leather Arm Chair $1156.68

This leather chair is a scale that you don’t often see.  Most often, chairs produced in an aged leather like this one are made on a much larger and more imposing scale.  This one, however, offers the masculine feel of a leather chair without being too cumbersome.  Perfect for any room meant for lounging, it is amazingly comfortable and fits nearly everyone!

Reclaimed Pine Console with Columns in Antique Soap $1025

This console table is certainly not short on personality.  The carved columns add just the right amount of glamor to the “rugged” look of the reclaimed pine.  Again, we love that this piece manages to be both masculine and feminine simultaneously.

Mikasa Valhala (Including Serving Pieces) $195.00

Here at Home Again we are always dreaming up the different ways that we would use the various pieces that come in.  We can’t help but imagine them in our own homes.  This week with all of the buzz about the Holiday Tours and Christmas Dinners, we are dreaming of how we would use this Mikasa Valhala china. The light green and gold detailing on the set is the perfect subtle look for someone who doesn’t want a set that screams holiday.  Closer to a sea foam than a Christmas green, this set would also work perfectly for an Easter table setting!

We would love to style a dinner party or family holiday dinner in a “White Christmas” theme of these decorations with lots of white, and light blues and greens. This house really beautifully captures the look!

Johnson Bros "Victorian Christmas" Dinner Service $191.25 (as of 11/13)

We are imagining them set on a table in a home with the classic red and green Christmas themed decorations.  We’d set our table just like the one below, with a velvet table cloth (green or red) and a classically-Christmas-y table top Christmas tree complete with red and gold ornaments.  So comfortable and casual, and most importantly cozy!!

Can’t you just imagine “Home for the Holidays” playing in the background?

We have long loved the Bungalow 5 brand and all of their different furniture lines.  We were recently lucky enough to pick up a few pieces at a discount (which we are passing along to you!)  Here are some of the pieces we currently have on the sales floor at HAD!

We feel so lucky to be able to offer you these items, as many of them are normally available to the trade only, and a few are currently out of stock.  That being said, every Bungalow 5 piece is really one of a kind, as they are hand made with natural materials and many are hand finished.

Here are some designers’ rooms featuring Bungalow 5 pieces:

Bedroom by Katie Ridder

Katie Ridder uses the Jacqui Side Table by Bungalow 5.

Living Room by Emma Pilkington

Emma Pilkington uses the Jacqui Coffee Table.

Living Room by Clare Donohue

Here, Clare Donohue uses the Brigitte 1-Drawer Side Table.

We love how no matter where you choose to use a Bungalow 5 piece, it adds a touch of modern fun! Come in and see our Bungalow 5 pieces first hand!
