Can You Love a Chair?...

Um, can you love a chair?  If that's possible, I think I'm in love.... After stalking the Josette chair at Pier 1 for about 4 months now I finally took the plunge and handed over my credit card.  At $199 a chair this was really steep for me.  Like a lot of SAHM bloggers I usually do a lot of our home shopping at the Goodwill, Target, Craigslist, etc.   but after searching for months for something similar on craigslist and in thriftstores I knew that I just needed to splurge on something.  An added bonus is that my husband Jerry really liked the floral print as well and that's saying a lot! Like most men he doesn't have too much of an opinion on home furnishings, I'm lucky if I get an "oh that's okay" cuz usually it's just a grunt!  Anyway let me stop gushing over this chair but seriously I am in love... The only con to the chair is that it's a bit short, I heard one shopper say it looks like a children's chair but they are wide and comfy and did I mention beautiful!  I think my little guy actually loves them too:)

  9. Oh, I love them, pretty pattern! You can always add castors or something to the bottom of the chair to give them some height.

    When you get tired of the look, just toss on a white throw pillow or slipcover.

  10. I LOVE bold fabric on chairs. I think aside from stools/ottomons, they are one of the few pieces of furniture that you can really go impactful with regarding colors/print. And worst case scenario -- in a few years you can always recover them with something else for a lower price point than buying a new piece (sometimes that is......)
