Over the course of the United States' presidential history, well over 200 pets have resided in, or on the grounds of, the White House with the First Family. Our current First Dog, Bo, could even be considered mundane by the standards of some of our previous First Pets.
A Savonarola chair is a chair with a distinctive X-shaped frame. This chair is native to the Mediterranean, where various versions were made across Ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt, with examples of the chair dating to at least 2,000 BCE. A number of furniture companies manufacture modern Savonarola chairs, including replicas of antiques along with chairs updated for modern aesthetics.
Dining chairs with built-in lumbar support are kind to tired backs. When your dining chairs are divine but your backache isn't, you can add a little extra lumbar support without ruining the decor. If you love your Windsor chair, ladder back, woven rush seat or Parson's chair, add a lumbar cushion and you'll love sitting in it, too. A simple foam cushion, covered in fabric that complements your dining chairs or room decor, adds a little plush luxury look and is kind to your back.
