The Man Chair

So I had the very daunting task of finding the perfect man chair for my boyfriend for Christmas! This was not as easy a task as one would think. Obviously he wants comfort, recline-ability, something that he can sink his bum into into when its game day for the Giants. And of course I want something stylish, in a beautiful leather, that's game-day proof (i.e. it will stand up to beer spills and chicken wing sauce)

So here goes....

This one was found at a HomeGoods in Trumbull, CT. I liked this one a lot, very modern but the comfort factor was lacking.





LOVED this one! But I had to remember the chair was supposed to be a Christmas present for my boyfriend. This was clearly not a game day chair. If I hadn't already bought myself a Christmas present of Tory Burch boots this would have been it! This was found at an amazing warehouse sale in CT.

Ahhhh this was so cute! It was also found at HomeGoods in Trumbull CT. It was the perfect little chair for a little girls room. Obviously I was getting off track.

AND THE WINNER IS.......

This was the perfect combination of what we both wanted in a chair and it worked perfectly for our apt! This was found at HomeGoods in Trumbull, CT. It was in clearance for $200! And I later found the exact same chair in a Billiards Catalog for $1200...SCORE!!!!!

Now he's ready for game time!

A little New England Charm

The cold weather in NYC has been making me long for the Spring. So here are a couple pictures to warm you up!

This is my family's beach house in Westbrook, Connecticut.



Our porch overlooks the marina and makes for picturesque outside summer dinners!





The table and chairs were an amazing warehouse sale find by my dad.
