I have thought about attempting it myself, but it was an expensive chair, and I've never upholstered a chair before, so that seems like it could turn into a hot mess. <br /><br />As for your sofa, is it the Ikea one in the basement? Or one upstairs that hasn't been shared? I hear you, I am the same way. I wish I were less consumed with the way things in my house look. I am trying to adopt this as an opportunity to practice contentment with what I have (especially after reading all of the Humans of New York refugee posts, do you read those?), but still, it is hard.

Forget all that letting go business. I get how this would be a dictator of a chair. Maybe a benevolent one? I'm currently fussing (internally) about a couch we bought this summer. Our couch was horrible. This one is nice, and it was a great price. But it's too big. It's out of proportion with the other things we have, most of which I love. I keep trying to figure out how to make it OK without changing the whole room to suit this one couch that I don't even love. I like it, a lot. It's comfortable and durable. It just doesn't look the way I want it to. I wish I didn't care about such things...Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551793959655853424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-55718786441000193762015-09-29T19:03:59.354-07:002015-09-29T19:03:59.354-07:00Yes, none of the sight lines lined up nicely, beca...Yes, none of the sight lines lined up nicely, because the gray sofa is too large and blocks the ikea piece. Its sort of a domino effect, the sofa blocks the ikea piece, to pull the ikea piece down means that it isn't centered on the wall, then the tv is also off center, the coffee table doesn't line up either....oh well. Can't do much about it.

(I actually have another post about this tomorrow!) I hope to get it upholstered eventually, because it is the perfect size and height.

But maybe it was just the angle of the photo? Is it that the dark painting now balances the dark sofa, too? This is better--the beast doesn't look quite so beastly, either. Do you have some boxes/baskets for the lack unit to help make it look less cluttery? The lamp needs something, too--height? More presence? <br /><br />Still, looks good. Good for you for continuing to putter.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-81731674536321189362015-09-29T12:48:03.993-07:002015-09-29T12:48:03.993-07:00It is more open and less boxy.
