my best friend moved away...

But she gave me these chairs...

It's a consolation prize, I suppose... Between you and me, I'd rather have my BFF then her chairs. She moved to NYC and these chairs would cost more to ship than to buy new, so I got them. We rearranged a few things in the living room so that they could have a spot. I think they work so much better in our space then the old leather chairs did. They leather chairs were a pre-married purchase and they served their purpose well but just weren't fitting into our new smaller living space. 

These two chairs take up much less room, yet provide more seating than the one leather chair that we used to have in here. I'm really liking the purply-grey color of the chairs too. Our living room was heading in a very neutral direction and now with the addition of these two (plus my blue chair) we have a nice color palate going on in here. I like that these chairs make the living room feel a little more feminine without being overly girly. In a house where I'm outnumbered, it's nice to have little doses of femininity, wouldn't you say?
