By now you readers know that I love any chair that swivels, and the delicious fact that this is a barstool is even more delightful. Though the chair was originally designed as a dressing table stool, the legs on this have been extended to create a barstool. With a cool 1930s feel, it also feels very contemporary with its clean lines. It comes in mahogany or black lacquer with either a brass or nickel footrest. Now that's something to rest your Jimmy Choos on.
This blog showcases the 365 chairs that Diane painted thorughout 2009. Some chairs are traditional, most are quite unusual, and they all have a story behind them. Have a seat in your own favorite chair and enjoy. The sketches are painted on Winsor & Newton Cotman 140 lb. cold pressed 4 x 6" watercolor sheets, using Winsor & Newton French Ultramarine blue.

"I’m a recent but already huge fan of Diane Carnevale’s Chair du Jour blog. Every day she posts an elegant and accurate blue and white watercolor of a different chair — famous icons and wacky one-offs, both. Better yet, she’s well educated in the world of chair design, and includes a history of each chair, plus her own always-witty personal commentary."
