andrew's aunt kate, whom we visited in portland, owns the hottest armchair i have ever seen in my entire life (and we all know i obsess over interior design and crafting)! it is scallop shaped and is of the most beautiful deep blue you have ever seen. a true beauty. i swear, i dream about this chair and that one day i, too, will own such a magnificent piece of art...
well that day happens to be today. yes, today. from trusty craigslist (ok, maybe craigslist isn't so trusty), i snagged this wonder of a butt-rester, for 60 bones. you heard that right.
6. 0. b. o. n. e. s. in leopard print, no less! it also just happens to match the rug in the master bedroom, above which it stands:
now i'm not much of a fan of leopard print, but this is actually subtly chic, non? (yes, chic warrants a french "no") 
i snagged this dark blue velvet upholstery fabric for 7.5 bones on the same trip as when i got bunks his metrosexual doormat. it's luxurious with small velvet-less squares evenly spaced around. when i saw it, i started drooling, thinking of kate's chair, so i purchased it before i even had a chair to reupholster (yes, that's how i roll- i buy things in anticipation of millions of projects). however, now that i've actually seen this chair, i'm kind of rethinking the reupholstering idea. i think i'm now a fan of leopard print, although we'll have to check with andrew for his opinion when he gets home. maybe i should save the blue for something else?
and before we part ways for the night, let me update the status on bunkins and his doormat. he loves it! here he is chilling (ok maybe he's only on it because i strategically put his dinner bowl on the towel. hehehhehe): 
and note: he doesn't usually look so tough with his pseudo nose-wrinkling. in reality, he's been shedding for the summer, which starts above his nose!
Helen, I LOVE this, and you. You're fabulous and I miss you. You need an RSS feed for this. I want to subscribe. thank you.
