So I did something I have never done before.
I bought two chairs from an on-line estate sale.
I admired them all last week and just as the auction was about to end on Sunday afternoon,
I got into a bit of a bidding war.
You know how that is, right?
You're pretty sure you want something and then as soon as you find out others want it too, game on!
I paid a little more than I originally planned, but it was still not much.
Introducing, the twins........
I plan to have them either reupholstered or perhaps slipcovered in a linen like fabric.
I love the lines of the chairs, but I want to de-formalize them. Is that a word, de-formalize?
Anyway, I think slipcovering them would give them the casual feel I'm looking for.
Something like this beautiful Restoration Hardware chair.
Or upholstered in a beautiful fabric, similar to this one.
I love everything Lauren Liess designs.
This is the sofa I am thinking of for our family room.
I would love to use the twins in this room as well.
However, I'm afraid they may be a tad too formal, even slipcovered, for this room.
Help a girl out. What do you think? Be honest, I can take it.
I still love the chairs and if I don't use them in the family room,
I tend to hang on to them until I find a place for them.
Yes, I am aware that I have a chair problem.
The twins will join the thrift store chair in the basement for now
until I decide what to do with them.
Apparently, my chair problem is bigger than I thought,
I have even resorted to naming them. Surely there's a support group out there for this issue?
