FOCAL POINT STYLING: seat sourcing

I really miss the HomeGoods back in Florida: I had six close by to shop and the selection was phenomenal! Here in AZ, I only have two nearby; but be that as it may, I have still found some pretty good deals. Most recently while out hunting for chairs for a doctor's office update I'm doing, I came across some pretty cool chairs at Marshalls and HomeGoods. Not all are quite the right fit for this project, but still good chairs nonetheless. And some of the brands can also be found at Overstock, for basically the same price.

My FAVORITE chairs are probably these replica black wishbone chairs at Marshalls...

and they were only $99 each...

so cool!

LOVE it!

Another FAVE also at Marshalls was this pair of French arm chairs - LOVE the stud detail!

Looks like something I'd see at Sweet Salvage here in Phoenix.

The wingback dining chair is very popular - Loved the subtle color. A great updated look for traditional style.

Almost had a winner for the project with this pair, but too blue....

Adored this paisley pair, but again, not the right colors for the project.

However, the brand tag gave a good clue to find similar chairs - and I did on Overstock.

Even more importantly - Sole Designs Furniture is MADE in the USA!

Take a tip from thrifting - Even though the color or pattern isn't right, who says you can't buy new and still redo? If priced right, it's worth it. These chairs at Homegoods were on clearance - The ones below were at only $49 each!

For only $49 at HomeGoods, it's worth it to recover, and maybe even add a bit of nail-head trim detail.

Originally, I was looking for slipper chairs, and sourced quite a few online - but a pair is actually too large for the space they need to fit in. Since the sofa is ordered (Chloe 76" swoop arm with tufted back in granite from Macy's) I'm really looking for an oval back dining chair pair. Ideally, I'd love to find them already 'done', but I may need to check out a few thrift or antique shops in Phoenix ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
