We had our housewarming party on the 8th, and much to our surprise most of the people that we invited actually came! We had lofty plans of entertaining all of these people outside on our lovely paved patio with the grill going and a Bocce ball tournament. Sadly, Mother Nature had a different idea and all 20+ of our guests were confined to the living room and kitchen. This alerted us to the shortage of seats in the living room (the sectional seats five, which is a lot with the two of us but not so much when you have 18 extra people). Our favorite seating arrangement ever was when we had this sectional plus another large sofa that we used before we upgraded, we were able to seat 12 with that arrangement! We don't quite have the room for another sofa since our room is more long than wide, and a loveseat would be too bulky. A lot of the rooms that I have seen on design blogs and Pinterest have a matched pair of slipper chairs, so I decided to start preliminary searches for those. I also decided to try to find an interesting pattern to bring some life into the living room (forgive me) since we have a large solid sofa, solid walls, and natural tables. Enter this chair,
The Avington slipper chair in Cloud Floral from Target, so cute! It was also marked down to $125, which was nice enough, but when I noticed that it was a buy one/get one 50% off, it pushed me over the edge. I figured out how to frame it with the hubs since we decided to stop buying furniture and start saving for a car (that hasn't worked the last ten times we have said it), and I really wanted these. What gets me, every single time I have decided to spend money, is the deal. I mean, c'mon, two slipper chairs for $225 after tax and delivery?! Crazy good, right? The pattern is also a perfect blend of the blues and grays without being too overpowering.
Ugh, I hope so. Because I really have to stop spending soon. Like now.
