airm chair vs. arm chair

when English and i got married we were generously given several pieces of hand-me-down furniture. it was so great to have not just any couch but a really nice, classy (now antique) couch among lots of other good stuff. in the last ten years pieces have rotated in and out of our home as we've moved or grown or both. a chair that we have right now is one of those super comfy but kind of ugly things. it would be awesome in a shabby chic front room. but while my front room isn't magazine worthy, it's not shabby chic either. i haven't thought much about replacing it mostly because i haven't seen anything that i would really want to replace it with... until recently.



the question is, when you're poor students can you justify buying a new chair to replace an ugly, but functional chair? a true dilemma. :) isn't it a cool chair though? i've tried it out and it is super comfy. and i love that color.

Not shabby chic, eh? Although those hardwood floors cannot be beat.

And that chair does look comfy. An excellent story reading chair.

The new chair looks comfy. However, that other chair looks comfy too. If I had to choose, I'd get the new one and save the other for another room in the house! The best of both worlds.

I think you can justify it. It looks like it is from Ikea - is that right? If it is - you can definitely justify it. I don't think Ikea is anyone's picture of decadence and I think it is reasonable to want your habitat to be attractive.
