Lazy Boy...Retro Style

 My husband has been pinning for a recliner....
But our space is limited and most are rather large and cumbersome...
The moment he saw this turquoise retro beauty at a nearby vintage store...
...he just had to have it!

 What do you think?   Does it work?
It is in perfect condition...and is very comfortable!



 One of our kids said it looked like a "grandpa chair"...another said
"Open your mouth for the dentist"!
A third said that it looked as though it came right out of a hospital room. 
But then again my niece, another daughter and a friend of mine loved it...
(at least that's what they said)
I guess its a matter of preference....
So tell me...I can take it...what do you think???

Staying Cozy, 
Carrie

  10. It's a favorite color of mine.
    I have to admit it does look like ones I've seen in the hospitals.
    But I still like it!

  11. You just wait and see... the chair will become everyone's favorite!! They will be fighting over it before long. I think it looks great and it makes the blue color in your curtains 'pop' out!

  12. Wow, whoever owned that chair before must not have known any children! :) It's in such great shape! I agree with Dianne, add that same color to the room- maybe some throw pillows and it will be perfect! ♥
