I'm in love.

So last week I posed a question to everyone: should the armchair in my living room be teal or grey?
The overwhelming response was teal. But the very evening the post went live - not exaggerating - I spotted this lovely little number on South Jefferson MidCentury Modern's instagram post, and saw big puffy hearts all around it. Showed it to Brandon, and he loved it just as much as I did [he's good like that - we like almost all of the same stuff.  Makes putting this house together pretty easy :)]
And as luck would have it, I was available to go to their shop the next time they would be open [they're only open on Saturdays, and as a wedding photographer, that's pretty magical that I would be able to go!].  So I grabbed my friend Tracy, and we pulled up to the shop at about 11:50.  There was already a line of a couple dozen people, all waiting to get in at noon when they opened their doors!  Not gonna lie - I got really nervous and kind of competitive.  Sweaty palms aside - as soon as we could get in the door, I quickly swept the shop until I finally found it in the corner and made a beeline right for it.  It. Was. Mine.  And I brought her home!  Those who follow my instagram have already seen it a few times [and for just haus-related stuff, check out the new one here!], but here she is, in all her glory:
Fits perfectly, dontcha think?
I'm a fan of the color, but not for this chair, in this spot.  Lots of warm wood and a bit of yellow in the stone would just be way too much yellow with this chair.  Plus, the vinyl has seen better days...
But those lines tho...
So she'll be getting recovered in black, and she's going to look like $1,000,000 [a million bucks.] ;)

So everyone wants to know, what about the other chair?  I still love that chair, and there was a perfect corner in our room for a comfy armchair [and place to hide shoes & dog toys under] so I put it in there.  We were actually looking for a chair for that exact spot, so everything is working out perfectly!
[lots of dog toys around here.  Just keeping it 100. Though I did make the bed and dust a little before I took the pic]

I still want to get it recovered, but that'll be on the back burner, since it'll take a lot of fabric and won't be cheap.  And no one sees it.  Still thinking teal though - it'll just look so pretty against that walnut!
[there's frequently a beagle on the bed, and at least one toy underneath]

Stay tuned to see the update once I get the new chair recovered!  I just have to actually *call* someone about that.  I hate doing that.

  1. I really like that you have a special Instagram account for your house! Thank you. I feel less like a weirdo. But next time I'm in MO, I hope I can visit and get a tour. PLEASE?!

    1. Thanks for the feedback, Izzie! I was wondering if it'd be worth the hassle. But I suppose it is! :)
      And YES - whenever you come back to visit, let me know and we'll get together!
