Very nice! I particularly like it with the contrasting pillow. It looks so comfy! Your room is coming together so nicely. Love the tile floor!

Wow I love it! it looks great in there. Good instincts! and luck!

Hello, I am new here. This was the first post that was on the site when I was first checking out the site. I saw this chair and read your post and decided that this was the place for me.

Love it.

Thanks all!

And welcome to Jova! You'll love this forum. There are host of super talented folks here, and stunning homes from every style and budget. I never cease to be amazed at what our members do.

I love it! I actually think it looks better than the cane chair. It adds a bright pop of coordinating color and I think your room needs the bulk of a chair like that rather than one with legs. The red pillow makes it look even better. Lucky you!

Great job! It is a good match for the other feminine pieces in the room (the drapery and chandy) to balance the masculine floor and ottoman and end table.

What a great find, almost as if you had commissioned it. Small chairs in a room just give the command to performance. They are so versatile, so small and yet make such great impact. I think yours is stealing the show, and in a good way.

Love it -- so comfy cozy!

I love it! It looks like it's from a children's book.... sort of poofy and marshmallow-like. You look at it and you want to sit in it!

Me, too!! I think it looks great! wish we had thrift stores like yours around us.

I can't believe you found that adorable "marshmellow" (!)chair at a thrift store. Perfect for your room, right down to the fabric. That was a lucky find, they must have just got it in.

Great chair, reno, and in amazingly good condition. Well done!

It's frickin' adorable. Good score!

Don't have to tell you, Reno, that's a great chair and it definitely looks at home in your den.

for those of us in the area, might you be willing to share where this favorite thrift shop is (esp since you already grabbed this treasure!!)??

Great find. It looks incredibly cozy!

Oh, it's absolutely wonderful. I can just imagine curling up in that chair with a good book and a good cup of coffee (or a glass of wine depending...).

Thanks all! I've been using it a lot. Super cozy.

Cherigw, it's the EARC Thrift Store in Edmond on 33rd between Boulevard and Broadway. It's tucked behind Danny Bob's. They consistently have good bargains. I pretty much stop by there every week, though it may be more of a drive for you!

That IS a cute chair, great score! Grandmotherly in a good way, if that makes any sense... that same feeling of enfolding cuddliness, I can almost smell the sugar cookies and Earl Grey tea. I actually like the matching pillow better, although it needs to be re-stuffed and really plumped up nice and fat - I think the chunky dark pillow breaks up that lovely feminine curve of the back, keeps the eye from moving smoothly over it. Wish the thrift stores around me had such goodies!

Although if you don't mind my totally unsolicited random opinion which you are completely free to ignore or even tell me to shut my yap ;-) I wouldn't use a leather club chair for the other chair. I think with the partly-leather couch it could be a bit too heavy and make the yellow chair seem a little bit "all by its lonesome" as both the only all-fabric seating piece and the only pale-colored one (unless you did something like a buff-colored leather, which I just can't see working). I can imagine a small-scale wing chair - a low, almost squatty one to properly balance yellow chair, not a really vertical one (heck, if you lived closer I'd give you one we got as a handmedown that needs reupholstering. Comfy and sturdy and actually the fabric is brand new but but whoever picked that gaudy floral was stoned or something, and I do want a more vertical version) - in a lighter-colored, texturey, flecky fabric picking up colors from your tapestry couch fabric and a little of the red and yellow would be charming, IMO. Then pop a pillow on it that doesn't match anything at all, like an antique-type needlepoint one. If you were going to have two additional chairs besides this new-to-you one, I'd say go for it with one in leather and one in fabric.

Oh, and I love the dog in the admiral's hat... is that a print? And if so, who is the artist? If you didn't mind I'd love to get one to go with my other "dogs in uniform" prints. :-)

I love that little chair. I thought I commented on this chair before in another post. Am I going nuts? Don't answer that? I was going through the comemnts and realized I didn't. LOL, with all the great finds everyone has been finding, I'm getting confused. HA!

Mari LOL! It's funny that you mention a wingback, because I've been inexplicably drawn to them lately. I've repeatedly vetoed several good finds because I've been afraid of the room going *too* grandmotherly. (A little is okay, as I like the comfy feel of it.) I didn't want the room to look like Great Aunt Bessie's Sitting Parlor.

Though I keep coming back to a nice wingback. I think you're right, and that the upholstery would really dictate whether it looked French Country or Granny-Gone-Wild.

The dog print was a gift from my MIL (score for her; in 16 years she's never gotten me anything my taste! She did really well with this one.) I know she ordered it online. I took it out of the uber-cheesy plastic frame and painted it with Mod Podge to create an oil look. I'll look around for the receipt to find out where she ordered it.

By the way, here is a Craigslist chair that I've been eyeballing. As if I need one more pattern in this room....

Reno. . . thanks!! Actually I'm up in that area a couple times a month, so I'll definitely check it out.

Reno - I just love you Basset Hound picture. Do you by chance know the name of the print?

Laurie

Laurie,

Here is a link to where my MIL got the print. (Below it is a Bulldog in a conquistador hat!!)

Here is a link that might be useful: Basset and Bulldog prints

Thanks for the link! I just spent 30 minutes looking at dog pictures :) Even though I love the Bulldog picture since I have a Bulldog, there's just something about the Basset Hound picture that I like better. They also have one of a Boxer. I'm seriously thinking of doing a wall of dogs pictures.
