So ugly, but sooo comfortable

The other day I went to Sleepy Poet and found a pair of these chairs.



HIDEOUS! It's like bad 90's hotel art in form of a chair. But I've been wanting a chair like this for so long, and man it was so comfortable. It's not in the cards right now (there will always be more chairs in life, sometimes you must say no). But I can't help but brainstorm the potential...

I've shown this picture before and I love the idea of a graphic modern fabric on such a classic shape:

Okay I just noticed this crazy coincidence... the lamp behind the chair is almost identical to the one in the Domino picture... wow!!

Back to my brainstorming.. here are some fabrics I think would be awesome on this chair (in order of least expensive to most expensive).

  1. I love the b/w Schumacher and the very last one. Of course I do, I am always drawn to the most expensive option :) They all look great and I'm sure when the time's right - gorgeous chairs will fall in your lap :)

  5. Go back and get that lamp!!

    I just passed up a gorgeous french love seat I saw on the side of the road.

    I'm still kicking myself! But I don't have enough room for random furniture to be laying around waiting to be fixed up. Plus I think it was rained on. Ick.

  9. So funny about the lamp. Always a fan of the chipper pattern. And love that it's larger in life than it looks online.

  11. I love the chipper fabric as well- I know what it is like having to leave chairs with so much potential behind- I have a chair/fabric addiction and it just breeds way too many possibilities for my budget. Ah well- fun to dream about anyways:)
