"And this chair is just right." More finds at the Pacific Galleries.

Like my mother, I have a love affair with chairs. I like them in all shapes and sizes and don't prefer a particular period or style over another. Chairs are like hats, when they are great they are great. It's a simple call. --R

More Pacific Galleries--En France

So, this is how I think it works at Pacific Galleries--Interior designers, antique collectors, and really anyone who wants to rent a stall at the gallery can. I have no idea what the rental fees are or if you have to qualify to get a space. In general, the quality of the goods for sale is high and, in some cases, very high. All of the aisles are named after the tonier neighborhoods in Seattle.

One of the first stalls I came upon was this lovely little French market installation. Oh, la, la. I do love France, and my nephew is now studying in France, and in another life I would like to be Leslie Caron, so I was pretty into it. I'm not sure where in my home I would put the language instruction posters, but I am smitten with them.--R

Pacific Galleries and Auction House

After fifteen years of living in Seattle, I finally went on a field trip to Pacific Galleries. Where to begin because everything I could possibly want is being sold there: beautiful rugs, great furniture, pieces for staging events and stores, vintage hats and jewelry, lighting, really everything. I had a lot of fun taking pictures and will share some of the better ones with you, dear readers, all this week. Enjoy. --Rebecca
