January, 08 Our Livingroom
This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture that I own. It's really different & funky, so I thought I share it with you. It's covered with five different fabrics & when I bought it I really didn't have plans to use it in my livingroom, but rather the den of my old house. I had bought a pair of leather chairs too, all from the same rather high-end furniture store in GA when they were going out of business & somehow they all work together very well in the same room. The fabrics on this chair just make me smile & I love how they all play off each other, creating a cozy seat that just begs you to come & sit. I bought this needlepoint rug off Ebay several years ago & I still love it. I had always wanted a needlepoint rug. Glass coffee table was a find from Pier One.
These fabrics together with their various textures, colors & shades are very calming & cozy.
This needlepoint piece was given to me long ago by a decorating friend on another board that I have frequented for years. My mom sewed it into this pillow for me & it's a natural complement to the chair. The chair has a natural tilt to the back & makes you just sink in & relax when you're sitting here.
Here you can see the fabric detail, along with the nailhead trim & legs. I would say this is definitely a French inspired chair. And I love French & Italian!
Sigh....I love this chair and don't think I'll ever get tired of it. Do you have a favorite piece of furniture?
