A pretend Christmas gift

My husband loves recliners.  I hate them, but love him.  

We found a compromise! I love these chairs- and they recline!!

They are from Pottery Barn (typically out of my budget, but these were worth it).  They have velvet fabric in a neutral tone, and each are big enough to hold an adult watching a show with a grand fairy next to them.

Much bigger than what I'm used to in this cottage, but I think they will fit just fine when the trees are down, those take up some space.  I ordered them a couple of months ago, but they arrived a couple of days before Christmas, so I pretended they were a gift.   

Thank you, Santa!

Christmas is all tucked away now, safely resting until next year.

The new chairs have helped distract me from being sad about my house going from light, bright, shiny, and decked from top to bottom, back to non Christmas normalness.  And I've added some greenery to the rooms to bring back brightness in a different way. There is nothing like a fresh house plant to make you feel better when winter is at its darkest.

PS- I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a class in Florida at Karen Hillman's Cozy Castle!!!!!!!!! 

Details here  

I'll be posting photos and more info soon.  I hope to see you in sunny Florida for a day of friendship, creativity, and fun with my ruffly wings and romantically inspired autograph book projects.

 

Also, the ruffled crepe wings and the signature book workshops will be offered in my Cottage Studio on Jan. 26th. Email me if you want to come and play!

  1. I’m with you Karla. I don’t like them — but this one doesn’t look like a recliner and therefore, it rocks!
    Love each and every photo. I still have my winter trees up for a bit. So dark and gloomy without!
