daddy's new office chair

we fell in love with a armchair back in january for tim's office but held off and tackled other projects around the house instead. well we're back in the market to finish tim's office, it really only needs a chair and wallcovering/paint (i'd like to do navy grasscloth on the walls). also he's always wanted a big dog picture in his office. think classic hunting dogs (not a motivational fluffy puppy poster) so i've been on the lookout for a print as well.

we could not believe our chair was still on the floor at the furniture store 7 months later b/c it is more of a clearance center for their custom furniture and it is very much hit or miss. i figured a stylish designer or discerning wanna-be-designer like myself would have scooped it up by now! we felt it was meant to be! after some negotiating, making sure to indicate we knew how long the chair had been on the showroom floor and "if you want to make a deal we can take it off your hands," we took it home. you can't really tell from the picture, but it is a cream & brown glen plaid pattern with a hint of charcoal and blue and bronze nailheads. the perfect smoking chair for his man-den, without the smoking part. :)

here's declan trying out the new chair
