As I alluded in our recent post about our nursery, we recently upgraded the chaise in our living room for a newer and improved model. This has been on our list for a while. Our old chaise was fine for our first few years, but it was a lesson for us that microfiber and Wrigley are not meant to be. It wore very badly, and was nearly impossible to clean. In addition, while it was a nice shape and very comfortable, it was always a hair too big for the corner.
To tell the truth I was so excited to have it out of the room I forgot to take a before photo. Oh well! You can get an idea here. And see how we have a red quilt on the seat of the chaise? Yup, that was shameless Wrigley-proofing. He loved to lie on that chaise while we were at work and look out the front window, and at a certain point we just had to give in and keep it as protected as we could.
But there's no more quilt for us! The new chaise has a slight curve which is just enough to keep Wrigley away. The color is similar to our original one - just a neutral cream. The fabric is a ribbed velvet though, which feels great and so far seems to wear much better. And the tufting adds a really nice classic, tailored look.
Shortly after purchasing the chaise, we happened upon the perfect little side table for it at a small town antique mall in Harrisonville, Missouri. Its marble top and intricate, aged brass base fit perfectly onto our main floor, and give a nice spot to set a glass of wine (or these days, a glass of iced tea in my case) down while reading on the chaise.
And at just $20, we couldn't pass it up!
I can't wait to see what the nursery will look like!!!
