Pull Up a Chair

Today I'm linking up to The Polohouse's Favorites on the First linky party HERE.  This month's party features our favorite chairs.

First of all, the above recliner is NOT my favorite chair.  Not by a long shot.  I don't have anything against recliners….I know they're ultra comfortable and cushy.  But they just don't fit in with my traditional decor, and I don't need a piece of furniture that looks like a boat.

The reason I included the above picture is because it's my husband's DREAM CHAIR.  It's a La-Z-Boy Luxury Lift Power Recliner 6-Motor Massage & Heat.  "With the power to sit, stand or recline at the touch of a button and soothing heat, the La-Z-Boy gives you all the right moves, including a 
6-motor massage option for the ultimate in comfort and relaxation."  What more could one possibly want in a chair?  

My poor, long-suffering husband actually had a water buffalo chair similar to the one above when we got married.  It was the first thing to go.

I started collecting vintage bamboo furniture quite a few years ago.  While the little bamboo corner chair below isn't exactly comfortable, it's just so darn cute.  And after all, isn't that what's most important?       

I bought the child's chair below at an estate sale.  I think it's charming.

By the way, I did a post on the above needlepoint pillows HERE.

We bought these two chairs to go in our living room/library.  Because my husband is 6'5" tall, the furniture in our house has to be big.  The chairs are very comfortable but not really my favorite.

If I could choose a chair that I know I would love, it would be slip-covered with a nice table and lamp beside it situated near a fireplace:

Ralph Lauren

Below is the photo of Ralph at his New York country estate that's been floating around the internet for years.  In my opinion, that leather chair is absolutely perfect. 

It's just so Ralph……
