beautiful, cozy mid-century chairs

here {via} here



Aren't these chairs lovely?  

Our family room desperately needs more seating, and I have been hoping to find a pair of mid-century chairs to reupholster.  Our couch is slipcovered in white denim, and I have been planning on reupholstering whatever chairs I find in white denim.  But, the yummy texture of these chairs makes me think that I should go for something more interesting. According to the article, these chairs are "covered in pony hide". {i am sure that they mean faux pony hide.  if you think i am wrong, please keep your opinion to yourself} 

Ally of From the Right Bank has an inspiring collection of furniture covered in sheepskin.  My vision has just gotten more precise:  mid-century chairs, upholstery with just a bit of texture, and sheepskins.

Now, I just need to find the chairs.

  2. I'm on the search for a new chair for our living room too. When you have something in mind, it seems so tough to find! I love the chairs you've shown.

    1. I know what you mean. Whenever I have a general idea of what I want, I always find the perfect thing quickly. But, if I have something specific in mind it seems like I have to hunt forever.

  3. Love those chairs! I have a mid century baby waiting in the basement and it's crying out for some kind of fun furry fabric!
