Early This Month I had the FANTASTIC opportunity to attend Hickory Chair University, an informative and moving 3 day visit to the Hickory Chair Factory in High Point, NC! I am working on some amazing posts for you about my experience there but in the mean time wanted to share with you a Great Post by Laura Holland from the Hickory Chair University Blog.
I find Laura’s take on the Little Black Dress in Your Closet to be a fun way to understand that buying furniture is not unlike building a wardrobe! Thanks to Laura for the post! I hope you enjoy it!
Stay tuned for a fun new series I am launching for the month of July!! It will feature both Dresses and Hickory Chair! I think you’re gonna like it! xoxo Tobi
And PS…The photo above is by artist Jason Brooks courtesy of the blog Life in a Venti Cup. See Franki’s recent post about Jason’s work here!!


















Hickory chair university! Sounds exciting!! You should convince them to make a line with you!!
I see that photo and it makes me swoon. I need to see if Jason will print one of those for me for my closet. And yes….I agree, we all need an LBD approach to furniture buying. It makes so much sense. Ron Fiore offered similar wisdom.
I’m so glad you make it to HCU. I could not have been more impressed with the company or the people…and that’s not even mentioning the ridiculous furniture. My perspective on quality investment pieces is forever changed.
