Chairs…we all have at least a few of them where we live, right?  A couple of my best friends make a hobby of collecting them.  I confess, I’ve become more fascinated with chairs and their overall design of late and if it weren’t for the fact that there isn’t one square inch of space left in our home, I could see myself buying a few of the beauties I’ve posted here.

{Possibly my favorite chair…the ottoman makes this a ideal spot for me to relax and read.  The room is a south-facing room so it’s usually light and warm in the winter months}

{I have more than one version of the chair above, I love the wood wings on the chair and the slope of the back}

{The chairs on either side of the fireplace are inviting and appear to be comfortable}

{The leather and nail head wing back chair above is something I think could fit in almost anywhere—it’s got a wing-back look but doesn’t have the bulk of a wing back chair}

It was a great coincidence for me that I had started a folder of pictures of chairs in anticipation of writing a post about the topic.  Alison of The Polohouse invited her readers to join her “Favorites on the First” with talk of chairs.
{I love it when the planets align!}

{Circa designs via heirloom philosophy}

{This club chair came from a consignment store years ago, it’s been recovered more than once, this Ralph Lauren fabric is the latest.  The chair is very comfortable, just ask Madison (our dog) who spends most of her day in it!}

{I love this chair (above) with the flannel plaid on the front and the leather on the back}

{Wicker is always a classic and while the back on this one could use a cushion, in my opinion, its a very pretty chair}

{Belgian Pearls}

This version of a wing back chair was an instant favorite with the overstuffed seat and nail heads…

I love a chair with details, like above and below.

I like the added beauty of wood and linen or leather on a chair.

Do you have a favorite chair?  Do you like down-filled cushions? I’m always happy to hear from you!
