My husband has wanted a Balzac armchair for as long as I've known him, but I'm not keen, because even in the shops the arms look greasy and worn, and have you ever sat in one? It's more of a forced recline than a sit, and not even all that comfortable, although of course my husband disagrees! <br /><br />Love your Karlstad sofa - we have the armchair in the same colour, which I must get round to taking a picture of - and which is really comfortable. I wanted to get the sofabed in the karlstad as well but it was too huge for the study, so we ended up with the Hagalund, which is a throwback to the 90s ( but goes quite well with my Habitat Jasper from 1996 I suppose..!)<br /><br />If it was me I think I'd go for the vintage danish option - then you'll have something no-one else has. Although I do quite like the 'pretend' Florence Knoll armchair too!Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285789828720975898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860334787725558976.post-32537433768343425682010-02-14T18:30:08.060+00:002010-02-14T18:30:08.060+00:00your right about an antique one wouldnt look right...your right about an antique one wouldnt look right I was thinking something a bit more modern with some funky fabric covering it but it would be hassle really :-) <br />I shall look forward to seeing what you decide! If money no object I do adore the Balzac chair but now you have mentioned about the leather your right I hadnt noticed it before ! the shape is gorgeous though..........<br />good point from Mr SLS about the arms though but me being totally form over function would probably not even let anyone sit on it anyway LOL<br />Good Luck!Lesley (Notesfrommydays)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18440351450621954103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860334787725558976.post-13384161379328346712010-02-14T12:23:42.605+00:002010-02-14T12:23:42.605+00:00Ah, thanks for the feedback Lesley.

I don't think an antique one recovered would work with the room?? I love the barcelona chair as well, but Mr SLS is worried about the lack of arms!!! ;-) I think a trip to the shop to sit on some is in order. I will let you know what I decide! <br />xx<br />ao<br />PS - I totally recommend the cushions from Nicky, they are such lovely quality and you can choose any colour combination that you like.amyoliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148629985116138519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860334787725558976.post-12717967339859314042010-02-13T19:34:38.586+00:002010-02-13T19:34:38.586+00:00oo decisions decisions! love the felt cushions on ...oo decisions decisions! love the felt cushions on the sofa they have been on my "want" list for a while now!<br />re the bay window just to stray slightly from your list but have you considered a chaise longue? if your lucky you can pick one up quite reasonably and then have it recovered ? failing that I do love the barcelona chair (copy or real!) and in ivory it would look fab :-) Lesley xLesley (Notesfrommydays)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18440351450621954103noreply@blogger.com
