There are some things that are best purchased in pairs, if possible. Lamps. Chairs. Implants. Just a few suggestions. But today, let’s talk about pairs of chairs. Amanda at Mommy Is CooCoo was lucky enough to find this perfectly nice set of linen chairs, but wasn’t feeling their conservative non-vibe. She’s got more of an eclectic style, if her metallic damask wallpaper hadn’t already tipped you off. Slipcovers to the rescue! They add so much more color and drama, yet can be easily switched out on a whim, which I suspect happens often at Amanda’s house.
And Kristen found this set of chairs, alike in shape and size and general disrepair, but brought them back to life with a deep turquoise and fun print. Did you know that it’s good marital Feng Shui to have pairs of chairs in the bedroom? Lamps too. I’ll leave that other one up to you. See more on Kristen’s blog Cat Eyed KP.
