Upolstered chair with ruffle, originally uploaded by sunshinesyrie.

This chair would be just perfect for what I want. It’s high enough to be really comfortable and the fabric’s got a nice soft, slightly distressed look. It’s the sort of upholstery chintz that haze that soft glazed feel that’s always smooth and slightly cool to the touch.

I love the lace ruffle too :-) It’s what my Granny would have called a ‘sewing chair’. It’s got a good straight back and the arms offer good support for propping your elbows up to sew or read.

So what’s not perfect? Sigh, the chair is in Michigan and I’m in London!

The search continues, as sadly I cannot afford gorgeous brand new Laura Ashley shabby chic armchairs!

Sad 8-)

    My grandma is also looking for a similar chair. I think it will be a good birthday present for her. Thanks for the info!

    I know what you mean! I see a lot of furniture for sale on American websites and just know that I can’t afford the shipping, without even asking! So we are just two sad souls together…:)

    I agree Dorothy, I used to live in Morecambe but there wasn’t anywhere quite as nice to shop there then! Lots of good junk shops though..
    Let me know when you get the web site up and running. I’ll write a blog review for you :-)

    You used to live in Morecambe?? What a small world..:) I’ve only lived here for a year…. I’m from Manchester and decided to live by the sea and enjoy Morecambe’s regeneration. When was the last time you were here? Morecambe changes every day now..

    Thanks for the blog review!

    Yep, the internet is a small world really and there aren’t that many UK shabby chic bloggers.
    I was last there about a year ago. I hear the Midland’s actually finished now. I’d love to see it, maybe I’ll come up some time.
