it's all about the hospitable home

November 12, 2015 By Shirley

A New Sitting Area

A new sitting area was created after I visited my friend Mary Alice

to say good-bye to her home that I loved. And, of course the one she loved too.

We were taking a walk upstairs and I noticed her Sitting/TV viewing room a bit sparse.

She sold much of the furniture in that room,

however, there was one lonely remaining chair.

I stated, “hmmmm, I never noticed this chair before.”

“This sweet chair has been in my daughter’s room for many years.”, says Mary Alice.

“I love it!”, I said. “Well, it is for sale.” . . . ๐Ÿ™‚

Chatter back and forth . . . . SOLD!

Mary Alice asked where I was planning to put it.

I had two areas in mind, my granddaughter’s room or the guest room.

The guest room?

Yes. The area I have in mind  had a desk  for writing or computer work,

however, I think that area really needs a chair.

And . . . I have the perfect piece to place next to the chair.

A piece that I purchased from the High Point Spring Market.

They were made for each other!

Do you remember what the area looked like before?

The desk/table has been put away and the chair moved across the room

to a combination desk and bedside table.

And here’s the after. Love it!

I am beginning to fluff the rooms for Christmas.

One pillow (and more) at a time.

Have a most wonderful day!!!

    What a sweet chair! I love the fabric too. The chair reminds me of one in my Granny’s house. I also love the black and white trim on those drapes. Your guest may never want to leave this lovely room.

    I love the way that looks Shirley! I think it’s much cleaner looking than the other table you had there. Looks inviting and cozy now. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the holidays!

    Hi Shirley, Love the chair in your guest room. The table is perfect with it. Beautiful fabric with the throw and the sweet pillow. I’m taking down my Christmas decor this weekend to start going through it and see what I want to use this year. The garage will be full. LOL
    Have a nice weekend.
