My French Yellow Tufted Chair

By

Last fall I had a garage sale and sold quite a number of things – one of them being that chair that I slipcovered a few years ago. It really took up too much space and all the flaws of the slipcover (it was my first and only attempt) had been bothering me for a while. So I sold the old chair last year and bought a new French yellow tufted chair last week!

 I almost bought another white slipcovered chair from Ikea but I decided I wanted a fun accent chair instead.

This is the one I sold.  I slipcovered it with drop cloths and toile fabric.

I had chairs in the dining room and my office that I used in my living room during the holidays as needed and we were happy to have more room since the Christmas tree always makes the living room feel so much smaller.  So I was in no hurry to replace the chair I sold.

This chair is comfortable, love, love, love the color AND the legs! I found this at Target on-line. $132 on sale. Plus I had it in my cart and didn’t check out right away and the next day they sent me a $5 off coupon! The lamp is from Target too, but I’ve had that for over a year.

I added some yellow accessories to the bookcases behind the chair.

 I’m very happy I took my time and found this chair! Yellow is my second favorite color! It’s such a cheery color and looks great with red  (which is my #1 favorite color)….as I’m sure you know 🙂

    Hi Manuela;

    I just gave my daughter the huge sofa in my small front room/dining room and have been looking for inspiration on how to redo that whole space. Red is my all time favorite color and I LOVE yellow too-especially with red. I LOVE your chair and saw the yellow lamp from Target on anther blog several months ago and have coveted it ever since (keeping an eye out for something similar!) Love the way you styled your shelf too- I have a vintage hutch that would look great styled that way, Think I found my inspiration- Thank you!

    Oh it’s wonderful – love the pops of yellow. I had the coupon thing happen to me too after having something in my shopping cart for over a day. Sometimes it pays to procrastinate:)

    Stay warm!

    Love the chair!

    It reminds me of when my son called me from the furniture store to say his wife has picked out POLKA DOT living room furniture, hehehe.

    I told him to order a solid color sofa but let her get the side chair in the polka dot pattern (she loves color like we do). Well, that is what they ended up doing plus she was able to order a couple smaller pillows with the polka dot pattern to put on the sofa as accents.

    It looks beautiful and even C. likes it (who is much like his father and their favorite colors are beige, etc.).

    I love the look and so beautifully cheerful. I do not think I could have a chair without arms –I love leaning on them to much……but perhaps I am to set in my ways. I don’t know if I have ever sat in an easy chair without arms! I see them a lot in photos….but I can’t picture curling up in one with a book. How do you feel—;let me know!

    Very Pretty and like the added touches of the same yellow in the area.
    Hope you stayed off the slick streets today – Saw on the news the weather your area was getting.
    Enjoy your evening.

      Oh we got several inches of snow!! Some kids are stuck at school and have to spend the night because the roads are so bad their parents can’t get them!

    Manuela, Your chair is beautiful and looks so good in your room with the black accessories. I can only imagine how good it looks next to red, which by the way is my favorite color. Thanks so much for visiting and your kind comments. I always find so much inspiration each time I visit your blog.

      Thank you Jennifer! I thought it would be a fun accent color since all the other chairs and sofa’s are white.

    What a beautiful room. The yellow and white is stunning – so fresh and happy. I would love to spend the afternoon sipping iced tea, and enjoying the peace.

    Just simply breathtaking.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Great chair! I would like to get a fun chair for my master bedroom to create a spot for reading, but any plans for that room are lower priority than other house projects.

    Hi Manuela
    Your new chair is great. I love the style and the color. I also like the pops of yellow other places in the room!
