Sit for a king?

While my husband continues to faire le tri chez nous, (i.e. downsizing our stuff*) I continue to faire du lèche vitrine (i.e. window-shop; or would it be leche écran if it happens to be online?) at 1st Dibs. You can find some awesome "stuff" on there. It's like shopping at the marché des puces without so much of the junk to weed through...

One of my recent favorites is this Nigerian "King's chair," entirely beaded and I think the words "colorful" or "vivid" don't even come close...


This goes with nothing I own. My husband would hate it. I love it. But could you actually sit on it?

I guess if he really hated it we could go for this cowrie-studded version from Alsadu Imports:


Or perhaps he'd be up for the set?


*See what comedian George Carlin has to say about stuff...

Isn't it terrible when your husband has his own taste in decorating? It's times like these that I think that it must be great to have someone who says 'It really doesn't matter to me - just buy what you like as long as I can sit on it'. Hahaha - no, in the end it's more fun to have someone who comes up with ideas of their own. I only wish mine would start 'faire le tri'... we are both hoarders which together makes for... big cupboards... ;-)
