There are certain wants that fade with time. They are strong, but they are momentary. Then there are those that never go away. As stupid as it sounds, I have one that has only grown stronger since it first set in.
It may be the first inanimate object I ever truly wanted as an adult. I sat in it - no... sank into it - for the first time, and I knew: one day, the Anthropologie Astrid Chair would be mine.
I even have a corner in my apartment cleared for it. Anxiously waiting to be complete. It's been 3 years, and I still can't let go of the idea that I will be able to afford it and have it as my own. Sure, I've shopped for other chairs. IKEA, Home Goods, Urban Home... even Pier1 had a sorry excuse for a knock-off version that I nearly walked out with (a good $1,100 cheaper than my dream one.) But I just can't do it. Some things aren't meant to be settled for. And when it comes to that PERFECT CHAIR, it might just be worth the wait.
If I can still find it, of course.
That is definitely a stunning chair - wow! It's too bad that Anthropologie doesn't sell it anymore :( I'm certain when you finally do find the perfect chair, it will also coincide with the perfect time to buy it.
