I was originally going to DIY a beanbag for the reading area, something along these lines...

But now I'm having second thoughts. An apartment-sized chair would be more grown-up friendly:

Or kid-sized furniture:

| {Faux-leather Wingback Chair, Target} |

| {Poang Chair, Ikea} |
Right now I'm leaning towards the yellow chevron chair, but it would require a bit of saving up because, at $279, it's over-budget. Decisions, decisions.

All the options are cute. The Poang chair is so comfortable for reading though. I have one and love it. Maybe you can dress it up with a fun cover for the cushions? Maybe I should do that to mine...
ReplyDeleteYou should check with IKEA. You could probably find a cheap chair and then make your own slip cover out of that pretty fabric. Just a thought. I hit IKEA on Friday and was surprised at their low prices ...
ReplyDeleteAnna & Linda - thanks - I think I might make a trip to Ikea to test some of their chairs out...
ReplyDeleteSuper cute ideas! I love the Ziggy chair too, but my next favorite option would be the budget friendly bean bags! They're so comfy for kids and I love the fabric you chose! Could you get a more budget friendly chair at Target and cover that? They have some pretty options.
ReplyDeleteHi Lizzie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sarah and I'm a fellow Chicago blogger! Yay for Chi-Town! I got your name, and connection to your blog, through Linda from "It All Started With Paint." She randomly posted on my site last week and I realized she was from Chicago. Through email exchanges I threw out the idea of getting together Chicago together for a little meet-and-greet and eventually some craft nights!
I'm sooo excited to be networking and meeting you ladies! I'm a 'lil newbie to this big blogger world and would love to make some connections (especially locally!).
Let me know if you want to meet up and if you have any ideas as to where.
Until then, I'm off to explore your blog!
Talk to you soon,
Sarah
