Living Room Chairs

 I mentioned in a previous post (our virtual living room makeover) that Jacob and I bought chairs for our living room this year instead of Christmas presents for each other.

When we first started shopping for chairs, I was looking for something light colored and upholstered.
Something that looked soft and comfy.

Jacob was looking for leather.

I did not want leather.

I wanted our living room to have an airy, vintage, beachy feel. 

To me, leather did not fit into that picture.

One of our final stops while out looking for chairs was JCPenney.

We quickly cruised through their furniture department 

{with our kids running rampant and causing a ruckus}. 

I didn't see anything I liked and I was ready to get our kids, who were melting down, back to the car.

While I was chasing down the kids, Jacob parked himself in the leather chair section. 

I didn't bother to join him because like I said, I didn't want leather.

A few minutes later, I heard him calling me over....

"Erin! Come check this one out!"

So, with the kids in tow, I walked over and saw him lounging in this chair...

"It's okay," I said while turning up my nose.

"But it reclines!" he replied.

I could tell he was in love...with the chair.

So I said, "I'll think about it." to appease him.

When we got home, I found the chair online and stuck it into a picture of our living room.

After adding in some accessories to give the room that airy, vintage, beachy feel I was after, 

I decided that I actually liked the leather chairs.

And marriage is all about compromise, right??

So even though I didn't think leather fit into my picture...

I think they are going to work out just fine...

AND I have a happy husband {he mostly loves the fact that he won}.

I think they look strikingly similar to these ones from Pottery Barn...

except theirs is priced at a hefty $1,199 EACH {plus shipping}

and we only paid $888 for TWO!

{we waited until they were on sale plus we found an online coupon}

To avoid paying $250 for delivery, we also opted to have them delivered to our local JCPenney for FREE!
And yes, they are real leather,
not that plastic-y stuff that's supposed to look like leather.

I love getting a good deal...

but who doesn't!?
