A Kartell Louis Ghost chair, that is.
I have been stalking these chairs for some time now and I ran across one on Craigslist Saturday night.
I know, exciting life I live, surfing Craigslist on a Saturday night.
Anyway, I was able to talk (or rather e-mail) the seller down to a reasonable price
(less than a 1/4 of what a new one cost, FYI) and then I sealed the deal.
I tend to be a bit disillusioned about how long it takes to arrive at certain destinations.
I seem to be under the impression that I can get anywhere in the tri-state area in about 15 minutes,
give or take an hour. After finding out it would take me an hour, round trip to get the chair,
I did kindly request that the seller meet me somewhere in the middle. No dice, so I ever so sweetly conned my good friend, Lisa, into making the trip with me. I have sold more on Craigslist than I have bought, but I read the paper, and I know it's not a good idea to go into a stranger's house alone. Fortunately, the seller basically opened the door wide enough to toss the chair out to me,
took my money and then promptly shut the door. Fine by me!

Enough rambling, here's the ghost.....
Its present home is in front of my blue secretary.
Should I be so lucky to score another one of these,
they will reside at either end of my dining room table, when needed for extra seating.
I realize these chairs may be a tad trendy and I'm not normally one to buy trendy pieces,
but since I didn't invest much in this chair and I am totally digging it,
I am feeling pretty good about my latest Craigslist adventure.
Oh, and the @ pillow was a gift from this lovely blogger.
Not only does she give the best gifts, but they are always wrapped in style.

Here are a few of my favorite examples of the Louis Ghost chair
mixed with traditional and vintage elements.
