And if you re looking for the dining chair with tropical breeze flair, Pier 1 s gotcha covered here too, just take a gander at their new dining room ensembles, a woven parson s chair with black wood legs. Well, if you re not into the Bahama-mama look, but will walk a mile to see leather done up right, you re in luck.
Leather is back and it s getting better all the time.
Forget those dowdy black couches with the scrawny metal legs. Now there are tr s chic leather couches with names like Toscano a formal leather with carved, decorative wooden feet and a sensuous curved back complete with hobnail-head trim by the hundreds. Manufacturers are also giving us the custom treatment when you take a gander at the rainbow of colors for leather, and, yes, textures that leather now assumes. Not to mention but designers are combining leather with our first hot item above, woven frames, to take on an entirely new fresh feel. Not likely but romance tastes have grown up.
