oh, peacock chair !

Seeing this chair took my breath away.

It reminds me of a modern peacock day chair,

But I would describe it more as a cocoon chair.

It looks like the perfect spot for hiding away,
cuddling up

for a quick nap or with a good book. 

Don’t you love how décor can create moods in you?

A few years ago,

I was visiting my favorite local thrift store

and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw two

lovely and huge peacock chairs in the far end of the shop.

I quickly assessed the situation in my head.

Where can I put these????

I have my four boys in the house, plus my hubby

so space was limited in bedrooms and living areas.

I passed them up.

Well, I am still thinking about those chairs today!

They were a steal, but I consoled myself thinking 

well someone will make a good home for them. 

Never again will I pass up a peacock chair!

My ode to my future peacock chair, 

tongue in cheek, of course......

Peacock chair. 

My love for you never dies. 

Someday I will find you and create a special space for you.

You will be the focal point of the room. 

And I will be quite comfortable there, 

cuddled up with a cup of tea and my cat. 

So great for a portrait too!
