CHAIR SHOPPING


























I finally got serious about replacing my old leather wing back  chair in the family room when I discovered the tiny little worn out area at the end of the cushion had turned into a full blown hole! I’ve been thinking about replacing this chair but that was not an easy task when I've been enjoying my "perfect chair" for over twenty years. Actually, it is just worn out and needs some TLC which I will eventually get around to doing, reupholstering the cushion or maybe the entire chair.  So for now, the old chair has found a  new home in my bedroom with a pretty throw. 
Going to Birmingham to a few of my favorite haunts for a day of shopping I found several chairs I could easily have brought home. Sorry, I’m about to take you the long way around, I do get a little sidetracked in these shops. I must say, I really enjoyed “browsing” throughout my chair mission. I thought you would enjoy strolling along too. I found my chair out of many I considered. See if you know which one I fell in love with while browsing some lovely shops. Sorry, not the best photos, had to use my phone.

I hope you enjoyed browsing with me on this shopping trip. I also found a new “favorite” a lovely garden shop tucked away at the back of an antique shop. I’ll share that with you in my next post. Now, did you guess which chair I ordered? If you guessed the last chair, #6 your are right! It is not a recliner, just a leather wing back that looks so much like the old one I’ve had to point out to family and friends that is is new. Hope you will leave a comment so I’ll know you stopped by.
