It's well over due....my journey to buying some new custom chairs

But I thought you don't buy a custom sofa on a whim....<br />After thinking about it our family room sofa is not super comfy but I love the look of it and it is a pull out and it does have a slipcover...so maybe we should just get new foam cushions because the cushions are the problem really.<br />But we do need a new chair in a big bad way...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhSV0NpONtz6ZPmahUEqsdwY6xegG6Hq9hiTC6milX0FvFpNFLavtfTiXfoSOPIpGGoAv-Y0qEyVS6_wSoNHWA1X8t7Vtgk5ozMpaVyraBWT_lcR4c5BPCsb6dGSpczgDF6dY8ZoQLdPz/s1600/IMG_3074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhSV0NpONtz6ZPmahUEqsdwY6xegG6Hq9hiTC6milX0FvFpNFLavtfTiXfoSOPIpGGoAv-Y0qEyVS6_wSoNHWA1X8t7Vtgk5ozMpaVyraBWT_lcR4c5BPCsb6dGSpczgDF6dY8ZoQLdPz/s1600/IMG_3074.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>This is our 14 year old Ikea Ektorp chair...this is the 5th or 5th slipcover....it has a broken piece of wood in the arm , the back cushion is a makeshift mess I have put together and its big and bulky and not pretty to look at.Oh and FIY I slept in this chair when I was pregnant with my second baby, yup slept upright, that pregnancy was a tough one on my body.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXYaI5eIeRN9DAYPeVF8o4k0LLkacVWcFJm9Jz-2QSMrA090p2FjlWnwaYIl5vWlgkQmPNNBLZhZJVsw2dthTVAB30GGpLUvujPsg9BlcltSzEQGNH1PSjHr69sMmmmiMw6hZOQBXJPLD/s1600/IMG_2862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXYaI5eIeRN9DAYPeVF8o4k0LLkacVWcFJm9Jz-2QSMrA090p2FjlWnwaYIl5vWlgkQmPNNBLZhZJVsw2dthTVAB30GGpLUvujPsg9BlcltSzEQGNH1PSjHr69sMmmmiMw6hZOQBXJPLD/s1600/IMG_2862.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I was really loving this chair, it is possibly the most comfortable chair I had ever sat in, it rocked and swiveled...and although this fabric would have been my dream fabric oh about 5 years ago I am over this sheme so I seriously considered getting it in a plain fabric....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBN7EVEXDTy7jRCW4Fjsp6mCM9Rdv0RBwmd6U4QAlT_3E_JuOb_HoDVheA_Vp6ubto8XfeAE0uCVtmIEBvwHi8f6CFdAS-6zrjNg-Yfnv2fB7e0WfXSQ1JRJENefNrXlTAC5uz6AHP11n6/s1600/IMG_2860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBN7EVEXDTy7jRCW4Fjsp6mCM9Rdv0RBwmd6U4QAlT_3E_JuOb_HoDVheA_Vp6ubto8XfeAE0uCVtmIEBvwHi8f6CFdAS-6zrjNg-Yfnv2fB7e0WfXSQ1JRJENefNrXlTAC5uz6AHP11n6/s1600/IMG_2860.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I beyond loved everything about these swivel chairs, the frame the fabric and that swivel and $599 as is...but they didn't pass the hubby comfort test at all....this was visit two BTW I dragged  the other half along. These would have looked great.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBkCh8Mx1WJmnpXeYC4CKkPlNLRrLSxDN27nJohpAfNM9PKiKcF2vqvGl3L9i04yMsEi083BYtsrp4bqVEeOFaRBnJCiroRrKZ5mmAa-Kcce6FNMKgg58ftiFSsG4WbQ8WdHCwTGneKcn/s1600/IMG_3023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBkCh8Mx1WJmnpXeYC4CKkPlNLRrLSxDN27nJohpAfNM9PKiKcF2vqvGl3L9i04yMsEi083BYtsrp4bqVEeOFaRBnJCiroRrKZ5mmAa-Kcce6FNMKgg58ftiFSsG4WbQ8WdHCwTGneKcn/s1600/IMG_3023.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On my third and final visit, solo this time, I was there to place an order...two chairs....two matching chairs because if we need to move these to another room or a different house at some point matching chairs makes sense. I saw this chair on my first and second visit and didn't give it much thought but this time I really loved it....its pretty , it would go with my family room sofa, it would look great with a plain sofa too...and it was beyond comfortable...and it is a great shape and since you walk into the room into the back of one of the chairs so a pretty shape in a simple fabric is a nice thing... so I figure , I hope I'm right becasue its not like I could preview it we will se in 9 weeks.</div> This chair was $599 if ordered as is in the fabric shown on the floor model, it was a little more to be made in a differernt custom fabric just in case you were wondering sugg retail is well over $1100.<br />OH and we are getting two chairs because we can't just have one new chair for the room , I thought we each should enjoy a new chair.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4Jwfeembty8GS7qDuiMMEaivzTdY6NPm3wO-bH8aaiO6P-1G81cRgVUnXoMyHJ-HHP4yH6OycReubJ0agqwYuHF2FXAKLqHC1T1awjE0-T_D6Y8Tn1Sb2A00PxDobAuTFmtq_guock3M/s1600/IMG_2855.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4Jwfeembty8GS7qDuiMMEaivzTdY6NPm3wO-bH8aaiO6P-1G81cRgVUnXoMyHJ-HHP4yH6OycReubJ0agqwYuHF2FXAKLqHC1T1awjE0-T_D6Y8Tn1Sb2A00PxDobAuTFmtq_guock3M/s1600/IMG_2855.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> I was also mad about this fabric....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ghJJtnWJXorvt7o_C02jx6TH_nNyWdjms9Ujm7CHwhIBaaHNZp9a3T4I2SxY9SOBLNCQX-MMrQs9SyCN3o4p3t8YH47btsC7UQc6YAGT2hcpdyLm3_JzdkYHcBuvBlm9RQ4FD5tZK-jQ/s1600/IMG_2857.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ghJJtnWJXorvt7o_C02jx6TH_nNyWdjms9Ujm7CHwhIBaaHNZp9a3T4I2SxY9SOBLNCQX-MMrQs9SyCN3o4p3t8YH47btsC7UQc6YAGT2hcpdyLm3_JzdkYHcBuvBlm9RQ4FD5tZK-jQ/s1600/IMG_2857.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> But I played it safe and went with this fabric...its really nice, neutral and hard wearing and since we got the fabric insurance I think it will be a great choice. I had realized that my kids must be getting more careful because I haven't had to clean my slipcovers in quite some time....that's a good sign.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAY67wvUlPOm1J6Vg_fdl2ValtKLGp2k67Z2WOdutlhKLJ4Uck-aO32GcW79FHCsebUqFApErjzxWQnmoq6RdE1zMKVFPq7QqoA3CJzuUcspAjrIMRHl50sMPJXoPc-0j6-gRvQQP4t04/s1600/IMG_3078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAY67wvUlPOm1J6Vg_fdl2ValtKLGp2k67Z2WOdutlhKLJ4Uck-aO32GcW79FHCsebUqFApErjzxWQnmoq6RdE1zMKVFPq7QqoA3CJzuUcspAjrIMRHl50sMPJXoPc-0j6-gRvQQP4t04/s1600/IMG_3078.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of chairs my hubby brought home this chair from his office, it is also a Sklar Peppler chair that my Mom had custom made for my Dad when I was around 12 if I can recall correctly , well that was 29 years ago and this chair is nearly as good as new, I mean the leather is aging but it looks great and has character but it is as solid as a rock.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So if you are in the GTA and in the market for a new chair or sofa I would give this place a look, it is in Ajax, Ontario.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">this is NOT a spnsored post I am just sharing a great fiind.</div><br />
