Not too long ago we made what we hope is our last chair purchase for the house. We picked up a really comfy olive green for our living room. Is it possible? Are we done with the main floor of the house? Just about. At some point, I’d like something to use as a plant stand. Anyway, the green chair:
We picked this chair up for almost 60% off it’s normal price. I was going to pick a chair up from Craigslist and redo it but for the cost of the chair, new materials and time, we got this instead. The olive green is weird but it goes with the carpet and in a strange way, it matches the other green chair we have. The velvety chair we got from a house my Dad was cleaning out and remodeling. You can’t beat free. I was going to paint the wood white but now it goes with the dark wood of the Kasala chair. Recovering the chair is out of the question. It’s Izzy’s favorite chair. She has NO interest in any other seat in our living room. Just this chair.
The chairs paired with the fire make for a nice little entertaining space which we actually use. My parents had a formal living room people only used during parties. I like that our space is functional.
My inspiration picture is more modern than our living room. I love all the details and the large photo in the back. Again, it’s another example of great accessories. We’ll get there one day!

What do you guys think of the large picture? I want to put a few large pictures up in our house. I’ve got a few photos from some of our travels I want to use. Big picture too much?

Love it! I like that the chairs are mis-matched but still go together very nicely!
Ya know I always like your photos but this type of design just doesn't seem practical to me. Do people really enjoy sitting in couches and chairs like that? That couch and that smooth green chair just don't look particularly comfortable. I guess I can see why the dog likes the one chair, it looks like the most comfy out of the bunch!
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for the comment. The chair is actaully really comfy. We wouldn't buy it if it wasn't. The leather is soft and cushy and I know the design looks look like you could sit on it for very long but you can.
I love both of the chairs! I also like the way the framed picture in your inspiration photo breaks up the wallpaper pattern. It makes for nice contrast :)
I love both chairs. I also really like how the wood and colors go together, but based on the shapes of each chair I wouldn't have thought to use them together, but it totally works :)
I with you and the large pictures. I love the look of the larger pictures propped against walls. I'm thinking of doing this in our bedroom.
