Ok seriously, how amazing is my hubby?! He surprised me with this beautiful Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. I have secretly wanted one for a while now, and I guess he knew that because he got one on Craigslist today for me! Only $150. Obviously its a replica {considering the real deal costs about $4,000}. I am so excited because we want it to be a little different than most of them, so we are going to cover it with some fun fabric.
I will do a post as soon as we choose out some fun print, and then its off to the upholstery person. I like attempting re-upholstering things, but not this guy! Way out of my league!
Do you like this style as much as we do?? Don’t you think that I just have the most incredible husband!!? I do;)

I am very very jealous and cannot wait to see what you end up covering this beauty in!
My husband used to have the world’s ugliest (but most comfortable) recliner and I have said I will get him one of these one day….but $150 on Craigslist is A*MAZING!!! I hope one day to find a similar steal downunder! Enjoy it!
Hi there, I’m a new follower. I fell in love with all your projects and style. Feel free to head over to my blog and stalk as well :+)
LoveMyHome-Thanks! We went looking at fabric last night, no luck! But Im excited to post it all when we get it done. Good luck on replacing your hubbys chair:)
Mrs.Adventure- thanks so much! Just checked out your blog-you have a puggle!!! Thats what Honey is:)
just discovered your new blog! I really love all your finds and projects.
I own two of these chairs and yours looks like the real deal you need to look on the bottom of the bottom and if you see something that says herman miller then your chair is no a copy but real.
have you checked out the re-upholstered chair from gossip girl?
