VANCOUVER HOME STAGER SEEKS CHIPPENDALES

Chippendale Chair



As Home Stagers and Designers, we are always on the lookout for beautiful things.  I was recently on a quest for some Chippendales. 

 

I just love the elegance of these historical items.  People who have Chippendales are known for their good taste and appreciation of fine craftsmanship and quality.  I also appreciate the sinewy lines and the combination of straight and curved lines.  The profile is really something to admire.  Of course, there are cheap knock-offs, but there’s nothing like being in front of the real, genuine, original article.  A good quality Chippendale keeps its shape, and is always polished and gleaming.

 

 

 



Oh, did you think I was talking about the Chippendale chair?!!  Sorry!  I had a great time the other night, with some gal pals, checking out the Chippendales Show, direct from Las Vegas!  What a hoot!  Home Stagers are always going on about first impressions – well, we had a great first impression of these handsome, playful, talented performers.  Naughty but nice is how I would describe the show.  They played into all our female fantasies:  Firemen, James Bond, An Officer & a Gentleman.

The Chippendale chair is nice, but the Las Vegas Chippendales are nicer!

Hi Sally--actually I was disappointed when the post started with the chairs (although I, too, love Chippendale chairs).  Thank you for all the delightful pictures.

Julie - Ah yes, another Homonym!  I love these little furry guys - Rescue Rangers - Away!  Ok, they definitely tie the Chippendales in the 'very cute' department!

I too share your love of a well built Chippendale,... the smooth lines,... the glistening bodies,... um um um,...  Can you send some of them down?

Laura - You'll be happy to know that these Chippendales were an American Import, found only in Las Vegas!  Perhaps we should go looking for them next January...

John - Didn't even have to board a flight - the Las Vegas Chippendales cames to Vancouver!  Yes, I think "Cat" would be a very good name - straight forward and to the point.
