I love these chairs from Barbara Barry.

They remind me somewhat of the chairs the Friendly Giant used to place for us before the fire. 

(Only fellow Canadians “of a certain age” will relate to this).

  2. I hate to admit it but I remember that show with fondness! Though my absolute favourite was Mr. Dressup - my dream was to draw like him!

  4. OMG, I'm officially "of a certain age" because I totally remember The Friendly Giant & Rusty the rooster in a bag and Jerome the pink & blue giraffe! You're right, these do look like the mini Friendly Giant chairs :-)

    Beautiful chairs, and love the simplicity of the fireplace.
