THE SWITHEROO



I've never really liked this little chair in my family room. It IS the perfect size for that spot in the family room and it IS the perfect shape...and it IS very comfortable... but for this Goldilocks.. it was NOT just right!

 It was a little ... off! I think it was the color and pattern. It did not enhance the decor of my room.

I was considering selling it or slipcovering... until I relocated it to it's new home...

Here is where this little chair used to live... a little too "oatmeal".



And here is the little chair in it's new home...




It fit right into the J&J guest room I have been making over. Because the room is now a guest room I wanted to keep it very tailored and free from extra furnishings and clutter.

I think guest appreciate a soothing room they can move around in.

This chair was just the right size to tuck into the far corner of the room.




Draping a throw over the chair gives this whole neutral room a little splash of color! 

A big basket sits next to the chair for pillows.



Is switcheroo a design term... 

Well, I think it should be!

  8. What a lovely chair. I'm glad you found the perfect spot for it and the little touch of color is just what it needed. I love to switch up my furniture also. Hubby... not so much. It drives him bonkers when I rearrange because I'm not so sure about placement.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  10. I agree that it is perfect in it's new home! I am always carting chairs up and down he stairs, to and fro. Poor hubby! The bonus of moving the chair? You get to find a new one for the family room!

  12. That's a perfect spot for it. However, if you decide you MUST get rid of it, I'd be happy to adopt it for you. :)

  13. Switch-r-roo...is defiantly a design term here, switching into this guest room from the living room makes a world of difference....remember when the actor Billy Crystal said,"YOU LOOK MARVELOUS,DARLING",well this looks marvelous here and is perfect.
    Love the pop of color and your beautiful hardwood floors too!!

  15. The chair looks perfect in it's new home. I love the little splash of color to bring out the same color in the comforter. Now, you have to show us what you replaced that chair with in your family room!!

  16. The chair looks like it has found the perfect corner to show its beauty to your guests. It is good that you were able to do the switcharoo instead of getting rid of that pretty chair. Have a great weekend, Yvonne!! --------- Shannon

  18. The chair looks beautiful in it's new location. I love when I get the nerve to move furniture around. It feels like brand new furniture. I love your technical term of switcheroo.

  27. Hi Yvonne! I'm a new follower. I joined your blog a few days ago. Unfortunately I do not have a blog. If I did, it would be a dollhouse blog. I love your blog. There is so much variety here. Your followers are all so very talented! The recipes are amazing although I have not yet tried one. But I will one of these days. Your chair looks just right where you have placed it. It's a gorgeous room as is the rest of your lovely house. I love your kitchen. It's like a dream!

  28. Hi Yvonne,
    Sometimes it is so difficult to find just the right chair for a guest room since they are usually a smaller size than other rooms. And this chair is so perfect! I'm sure you could have found many places in your home for it, but it is so pretty right there.
    I saw some fabulous Fall decorating by you on my way in, so I'm going to go explore some more. :) Happy Weekend~

  31. I think a small comfy chair like this is needed in a guest room. It looks very inviting in your pretty room. Linda

  32. I think your chair looks perfect in the guest room. Can't wait to see what you'll do in the family room! ;)

  33. Even just adding that brightly colored throw and that neutral toss pillow made a huge difference in the "oatmeal" feel of the chair! Putting it in the new guest room provides it with a comfy new home in which it...and YOU...will feel much better! :-) I am still just jealous to the core of your beautiful hardwood floors in the bedroom!!! I just can't get my husband to understand that is the way to go!

  34. Perfect! The throw makes it all really pop and the pillow looks great too. I think this room would work for me. :)
