I love these chairs!

So, you all know that I love Mid-Century Modern and you know I love Ray and Charles Eames... but I'm suffering from such a strong infatuation with the "Shell Chair" that I see them everywhere and I even dream about them!

There are several cream colored ones at The Green Ant; the great shop across the block from my condo and I want them so badly I've even told Perry I'd not eat for a month to have them! (bonus to this scenario... I lose weight!)

Now, my friend Derya wonders why I'd pay so much for vintage, original ones, rather than purchase new ones, because they are still in production... it's the fiberglass! ...Eames chairs have been widely imitated, but originals are highly sought-after by collectors because they are considered breakthroughs in both design and technology...

And when I say I'm seeing them everywhere, it's not just in the vintage stores I visit... they seem to be in every blog I read, and every website I hit on... I found these shots on Apartment Therapy and I want to share them with you all! This article is actually about the coffee tables, but what room wouldn't be better with a great shell chair... (I'm sure you can determine which ones are the shell chairs in the shot, right?! hehe)

My "inspiration shot" from some can't-recall website (sorry)

If you are on my facebook, you know I've found an "inspiration shot" for my new living room... And you know that my color scheme is monochromatic in creams and whites, so just how perfect would these wonderful cream colored shell chairs with a chrome eiffel tower base be?! Well, I have a way of deciding the value of a purchase and that is this... "do I love it __(?)___  many dollars worth?" and the answer for this one is..... YES!!!!! 
so, on the new living room idea... I have a similar sofa to this one, but it has a little more gray undertones... in place of the two painted side chairs, I want to put the Eames shell chairs... the layout would be more like the photo above with the blue ones and my chairs would have that type of base... weigh in folks, let me know what you think! Seriously!
