Monday was a very lucky day for me! When I was preggers Jarom and I went to Posh Mommy & Baby out in Madison to buy a chair for her room. Well after an hour of browsing fabrics and chair styles Jarom was completely over it and "wanted a big chair for him to fit in" and "wanted to LEAVE!". So I made a quick decision on a huge recliner and did it in chocolate brown to try to do the brown/blue theme in Addie's room. Well fast forward to 6 weeks later when the chair comes in... I HATE IT! It is super comfy and the fabric is great, but the chair looked HORRIBLE in Addie's room. I figured I'd just deal with it since it was $600. Well lately that chair has become a bad itch for me. Everytime I passed it I groaned and no matter what I bought to go in her room it didn't make it look any better. So I listed it on Craigs list and one lady wanted to give me $325 for it but geez, that wasn't enough for me to go get a new chair, not even close!
So Monday I dropped Sam off in Madison so he and Dad could get going and decided to stop by Posh Mommy to dream about what kind of chair I'd eventually get for Addie's room and started talking to the owner and told her my dilemma. Well she said she would trade me any of the chairs in her store on her floor for my chair, with no extra charge. So I enlisted the help of my Uncle Bob since Jarom and Dad were working and traded chairs with her. Isn't the new one cute?? It is the same green as the letters on Addie's wall and the stems of the flowers in the pictures and has the minky dot upholstery (Addie's bedding and changing cover are minky dot) and is so much cuter! I couldn't be more pleased! I love Posh Mommy and Baby! Where else would they do that for you???
Before: the ugly brown comfy chair
After: Cute green girly chair!

That is lucky!! I want a chair like that so bad for my nursery. Right now I have an ugly (and I mean UGLY) brown recliner in there so I totally know what you mean about hating it every time you walk by it.
I've never been into Posh Mommy. I need to stop by there.
YAY!! Ordering furniture is a toughy for me! So far so lucky but I am always so very scared while waiting for the furniture to arrive. I'm so happy for you!
oh geez, that is a fug chair. i like the new one much better! how nice of that lady.

Love the chair!!! I have an ugly blue old-style recliner that Nate bought when I was pregnant with Carden, and it is Ugly. But, serves the purpose.
How awesome is that? Chase would freak over that chair since that is what all of his "kinkys" are made of! =) I love it!
