I was recently in Los Angeles for the Southern California Home & Garden show. On my way to Anaheim, I spent the night in Beverly Hills at the Avalon Hotel. It's a former retirement home-turned-boutique hotel that's been around for a few years.
As an editor with Country Home magazine, my aesthetic is normally drawn to a more comfortable and Americana style...not a modernist one. But still, I can appreciate good design when I see it.
These chaise lounge chairs are simple aluminum frames with super-durable string just wrapped around and around the frame. Quite comfortable, actually.
But the flea market junkie inside of me wonders if I could make this. Could I go find some old outdoor furniture, remove the plastic straps, strip the paint off to reveal the galvanized finish, and then wrap rope around and around to re-create this?
When I move to a new home with a big backyard, I'm going to give that idea a try. It's either going to be spectacular or the biggest DIY disaster of my life.
