I finally broke down and bought myself a new chair for my living room. While I loved my new/old chair, it just seemed too big and assuming in our cozy (read smaller) living room. IKEA to the rescue!
I bought this Jennylund chair and had it shipped to me.
I LOVE IT!
My mum bought me this beautiful wool blanket (from Homesense/Homegoods) for my upcoming birthday and I love its felted flower embellishments:
Is it strange for a chair to make someone so happy?
That pillow is beautiful! Enjoy your chair :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not strange :-) It's a beautiful chair and blanket. What color are your walls? I like them too!
ReplyDeleteMy walls are Rsetoration Hardware's Silver Sage. It is a great neutral!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Linda
It all looks beautiful Linda!!! I also picked up my two white ikea slipcovers for my two chairs...though sadly, one didn't fit. What I thought was a Karlstad chair is actually a bjornhult...so I plan to reorder...oh well, they still look great in my bedroom for now! Oh, and your blanket makes me want one even more, but in my house...forget it!
ReplyDeleteLove your chair and I really like the throw also. I think everyone needs to have their favorite chair. Mine is really starting to wear, but still my favorite and always the most comfortable of any. Enjoy yours. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLinda-That room looks beautfiul...serene and tranquil. It feels like "water meets soft sky" to me. Gorgeous..and I love the chair. Your Mom can adopt me anytime she wants to if she gives gifts like that! It's perfect! Diana
ReplyDeleteSuch a great shot Linda, I'd want to curl up and read there for hours. You wanna bet a chair can do that to me too. I have two value village finds with great lines (one is a custom design and the other looks like one of Sarah Richardson's custom chairs) but no budget yet to redo them and dream of their day of transformation.
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket, so pretty!
The chair is great! No it's not silly. That blanket and pillow are so pretty. Very good eye, mom...
ReplyDeleteLOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE The new header!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYour little nook looks very cozy! I absolutely love that blanket.
I too get excited over items I purchase for the house. So...no I don't think it is silly :)
Love that chair! That corner is so calm and looks enjoyable to sit in. I will have to check IKEA's website now.
ReplyDeleteyippee! new chair! your days must be so comfy with this chair! my fave chair too!
ReplyDeleteLove it! No, it's not strange. I just bought a couple of Ikea chairs and they make me smile every time I see them!
ReplyDeleteAmy
No. A chair CAN make you happy. Please...I practically have sex with my latte, it makes me so flippin happy!!! So a chair?? That is like a multiple orgasm!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I must go to Ikea. Wish I could go with YOU.
Let's make a date.
Just me, you and Judy.
I ADORE your cozy little corner! That blanket is absolutely lovely! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic corner to curl up in and read!! The chair looks so cumfy and the blanket and pillow are just adorable!!! Very lovely!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot...it captures everything a cozy corner should be and more...!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, Linda, because I was thinking that your chair reminded me of my Ikea Ektorp chairs! Except this one has a higher back to it than the Ektorp. Lovely! I love my Ikea chairs, too. I just bought a white slipcover for the one I keep in my master bedroom sitting area this year {$29.00 for a good slipcover!}. I love the way it looks in its new slip!
ReplyDeleteI do not think it strange at all! I would be happy too if I had that inviting corner! Just beautiful...
ReplyDeletexo,

Looks fabulous in that corner. The throw and everything else are perfect for your new chair. What a wonderful little corner to hang out in indeed!
ReplyDeleteGirl you have great taste. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I thought that was a picture from a magazine......I looove it.I looove Ikea,Sigh I am jello.I bought a gorgeous custom covered chair to curl up and read....but I never do it.I sure hope you have more time than me to curl up there.But i thinks you have been pretrty busy too.I can't wait for my M.M. Christmas book to sit in my chair with.
ReplyDeleteWow that blanket is amazing. I love that it's from Home Goods. As I was reading this post I was thinking "Please tell us where that find is from, please". I don't think it's ever silly to get so excited, if only more things made us so excited as adults. :)
ReplyDeleteThat corner looks so cozy and comfortable and stylish all at the same time. Did you take that amazing photo? It totally looks like a magazine worthy styling job, with the beautiful throw on the ottoman, the silver dollar branches, and the adorable blue clock. Now go grab yourself a cup of tea and a lovely decorating magazine and plunk yourself down in your cozy corner and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?!! Where ever the inspiration comes from, go with it! I say we need to be excited about lots of "little" things throughout the day to keep us going. Your new corner of goodies is darling, and the retro lamp...ADORABLE! Enjoy your spot!
ReplyDeleteIt's not strange-it's refreshing. I have the same sentiments over things. I'm dying to see the kitchen makeover----truly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Linda. Hope this finds you well. I look forward to seeing the magazine!

Not strange at all ~ I love it too and that throw is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat is a charming blanket. I have never seen one like it.
ReplyDeleteMy first visit. Nice post.

No, it's not strange. I love the chair....and the pillow...and the gorgeous throw. Your room looks fantastic. ~Sheilla
ReplyDeleteIt is not strange at all! I love chairs and am drawn to them. I love your IKEA chair!
ReplyDeletedefinitely NOT strange. i love chairs too. but that blanket is TO DIE FOR!!
ReplyDeleteI love the light shade. Can you tell me where it's from?
ReplyDeleteSo cozy and pretty! Love the applique !!very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona,
ReplyDeleteThe lampshade is actually vintage, found at a local thrift shop.
Cheers,
Linda
Everything is just so beautiful! And it's not strange at all...if the pictures make ME happy, you must be on cloud 9!
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe sofa looks nice! It matched your house's interior. Last week, I was also able to purchase a sofa which matches our tile. Clearwater is how my husband calls my selection of furniture - a mixture of white and blue.
ReplyDeleteLove the new chair and the photo of it is magazine worthy! And "no", of course it is not strange to have a chair make you happy. Happy Halloween to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteJanet
That corner looks so comfortable. I really surprised by how hand-crafted your throw looks, gotta love those mums.
ReplyDeleteThe chair is great, and the throw also...but I LOVE the lamp!
ReplyDeleteThe chair is wonderful! I am so in love with your blanket and pillow. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletexo, Sherry
I have the same chair, with the gray and white check cover, and it does make me quite happy! The birthday throw is darling!!
ReplyDeleteI know you must hear this all the time, but you have THE MOST beautiful blog. and I know you have a million followers but, MAN... I-Just-Can't-Stay-Away!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Love your blog! So happy that I just stumbled across it...it put a smile on my face! :-)
