The Chair Switcharoo



When we painted the kitchen and family room a few weeks ago I took the slipcovered wingback chairs that were in this room (you can see photos of this room with those chairs here) I decided to try switching the sets of chairs because I really liked how the slipcovered ones looked against the new darker gray mantel in the family room. So, I ended up moving these ones in here.  I think it looks a little bit dull right now with the autumn decor in there but I think I will really like it once we add some greenery in there for Christmas! And then I have some other greenery we usually have out the rest of the year. So, all in all, I am happy with the switch and I can't wait to show you this room again in a few weeks when we get it ready for Christmas!

  2. I am happy when you show this room particularly since my 1979 house has all stained woodwork. Love the plaid pillow. What do you do to save your dry hydrangeas each season?

    1. Thank you! I just get them form the farmers market and put them in a vase that has water and they dry that way (I am not sure exactly how). I think maybe the trick is not cutting them until they've started drying a bit, but I honestly don't know.

  3. Beautiful room-so warm and cozy and all the feelings fall brings. The cowhide pillows add that little extra rustic feel to your chairs- perfect mix! Thank you for sharing :)

  4. Please NEVER paint the woodwork in this gorgeous room. The chairs look perfect here and I can just imagine a burning fire or candlelight dancing as I am curled up reading a great book or surfing blogs on a cold rainy morning ----- my most favorite thing to do in my New England home.
    You have transformed your new house into a loved home.
    Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey.
    Fondly,

  9. I love this room with all of the warm woodwork but I think I prefer the look and style of the old chairs better.
