Interesting trend in chairs: chairs with white bodies and natural wood feet/hoofs/socks (whatever you want to call them). The above image is from The Conran Shop. It's called the Czech Sidechair. If it didn't have the partial paint job, I don't think I'd like it as much. Though I like the curvature of the chair and how the feet taper, for me the main draw of the chair is really how it's painted.
Spotted in a magazine (Elle Decoration UK) via Happy Mundane:

Here's Anthropologie's take on it called the "Neptune Chair":
And because the best part of the chair (for me) is the paint job, I think it would make a good DIY project--perhaps make something less attractive look better. I have these stools that I didn't like too much (the previous homeowners left them)--they look like less sophisticated versions of the Czech chair with chunky feet. Maybe with a white-paint-and-exposed-wood-feet makeover, they won't be such eyesores anymore. Wish me luck!
Good luck!

you're so right about the leggings.
phoebe, when you're done painting your desk post pictures. i'll post images of my chairs, too. it'll probably take me like 2 years to get around to doing it, but i'll totally post it when it's done!

Design chairs bring charm and for someone who is willing to make investments for your business, it gives them a sense of credibility that the first impression. They did not immediately start to question your credibility.
