old love, new love

I'm liking West Elm's product line a whole lot more these days. Remember a couple years back when the catalogs only featured really thick and heavy furniture like futons and cube sofas? I also love the new color scheme, which makes me want to be sitting on the deck of a beach house on a not-so-sunny day.

The "round back chair" ($199) used to be my favorite West Elm piece, but now I'm onto the "upholstered wood-frame chair" ($199). Both have equally generic names, but not-so-generic designs. I would like to have just one of the "upholstered wood frame" variety--it could totally stand on its own.
