New Picture

As I changed the background from the classic orange, I decided to change my profile picture to match the title of my blog. Which by the way, the title was inspired by my love of all things orange, and watching way to much Blue’s Clue’s, in Blue’s Clue’s Steve could figure out any problem in the thinking chair. I do not remember the color of Steve’s chair, but I decided if I ever had a thinking chair mine would most certainly be orange.
I found this nifty chair and with it came some cool info about it…and note if you want a chair just like it…it will cost you the wonderful price of $475.00. Yeah, I know what I will not be getting for Christmas. Don’t worry mom, I don’t mind, I don’t think I would buy for myself either, even if I had enough money.

Jacobsen series 7 chair. During the 1950s and 1960s, Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen created some of the most famous and sought-after chairs of the 20th century. Although best known for such adult chairs as the 'swan' and the 'egg,' Jacobsen was one of the few designers to focus specifically on creating child-scale furniture and to consider the potential benefits of applying new design philosophies in school and child-care settings. One of his most successful chairs, the Series 7, is again available from Fritz Hansen, the original manufacturer, with the original specifications. The striking form is made in laminated plywood on a tubular metal frame.
