New Mid-Century Chair

By Jordan | Before and After, Decorating, Things We Bought

I never considered myself a mid-century furniture person till now.  When my mom was in town for Little Miss’s birthday, we made a quick trip to our nearby Habitat Restore.  For those of you who are local, I have the best luck at the one on Monroe.  I was telling her I wanted to update the look in the corner of our living room.  Our two lounge chairs (which I just realized I have not shared) are here, but the far corner was looking needy.  The room has slowly been evolving, and I wanted to update that corner.

We had a fake leather chair in the corner which was nice, and it lasted a good five years.  It was a purchase from Target, and I was surprised at how well it held up.  It worked, but I was wanting something different.  I thought I would go in another direction and get a Bergere style chair.

I like the look of a spindle chair and thought this one might add some personality to the corner.

But then we came across a fun mid-century modern chair at the Restore, and it was in like-new condition.  It was a bold color, and my rug was filled with lots of fun bold colors, including this green shade.  I measured the chair, quickly went home and measured our corner space.  I realized we could add some fun to the corner with this modern style chair.

The moment I put her in the corner, I knew it was a match.  I LOVED it and LOVED the fun it added to the room. It still leaves room to get to the dresser behind it, but yet its color gives it a lot of presence.  This is now my favorite room in the house.

It works great with the rug and the other decor, and it adds the wow factor.  I definitely came out of my comfort zone on this purchase but am so glad I did.  Actually, I have to thank Mom for the push to go for it!  Our sofa is a conservative navy, the other chairs are gray, and this chair just works with the rug and pulls it all together.

I found this similar one on Wayfair in a fun color in case you are thinking about adding some mid-century to your decor.

Not only does this chair look good, but it is very comfortable.  I can sit for a few minutes during nap time for a little read and beverage.  Gracie likes to play it up and look sad since she is not getting all the attention!!

 

Cheers!

    I like your new old chair! I sort of wanted to see it in a big photo like the first photo … to see how it looks in the “big picture”. I love how changing one piece can make such a difference!

    Great chair…it has presence! Glad it’s comfy too…which begs the question, are you going to get an ottoman or poof? I’m curious to see the whole room! 😉

      I haven’t felt I needed an ottoman or poof sitting in it. However, if I add one I will do a poof.
