I thought about the move-ability too, Becky! Especially when we are entertaining larger groups and not everyone wants to sit on the sofa. Ha, I love your 3/4 bottle of wine perspective on studying, sounds pretty solid!

Sargeypoo! Why am I spacing on your secret “sunroom”? Seriously, I am not remembering this space. First of all, love that sofa. Secondly, I am sure Matt will be happy that you are not blowing the rug budget and instead reusing a rug you already have. I would be happy to consult!

Alecia! You speakin’ my language with that ‘champ rationalization. That is how one should make all of life’s important decisions. Seriously, I was doing the math and I was all like “basically it’s the same price as that ottoman” … (not)

Sweet! Good to hear that you endorse UO furniture, this will be my first purchase. I can’t wait to get these babies up to the cabin. And yes, I saw the post! That lady is speaking my language r n. We have v similar ideas about how our cabins should look.

Hey Lori! Thanks for your comment, and sorry for the delay in reply. We headed out on a week long vacation the morning after I posted this (dur), and I am just catching up now. Whoops! I totally missed that Daniel mentioned me in the comments, of course I had to head over to his blog and see what he said. Made my day to be listed in his top reads, he’s still one of my favorites – thanks for letting me in on it :)

First of all, those WE chairs rule even though they cost a buttload. I don’t know how I hadn’t seen them before. I have no room for green in my house either, and I’m excited to have a place to use it now – it’s my favorite color.

I totally feel the same way about a lot of blogs that you do, and on a selfish level it bums me out that it’s not the same as it used to be. That being said, it just is what it is. I think a lot of bloggers feel responsible to the reader for creating a certain type of content at a certain frequency because some readers feel entitled to content. It is a paid bloggers job to produce content and to keep an audience happy, and inspired, I get it. I can’t say I blame either party. It has become a weird cyclical relationship between readers and bloggers. Yes bloggers want people to read and look at what they write, and readers want access to the inspiration, and information they find on blogs. The whole relationship changes when ads start popping up all over blog websites and a lot of post are sponsored. Also, I agree that it becomes unrelatable when it goes straight to posts filled with freebies that require a “team” to produce.

I realize it’s kind of a copout because I’m skirting the line, I have ads now (the last three or four months), and I use affiliated links when applicable, BUT my net “income” is less than $100 a month which I in turn I spend on a service that helps me with security and back-end-wordpress stuff, so in my mind it’s a wash. I actually feel like a dummy for not getting some of that chedda’ earlier on to cover my costs. I can see how a reader might see it differently though.

I’m not really going anywhere with this, other than the fact that I agree with you. I love reading blogs, and I wish there were more good ol’ ones around.

I do want your guyses opinions, for real! I did pretty much have my mind set when I started writing the post, but that’s not always the case. I appreciate you letting me know what you think. I was on the search for something with green canvas, and I didn’t know exactly what ‘it’ looked like until I saw these chairs. I also like the look of these butterfly-style chairs from Target (which I found after the fact), they are much less expensive (and a bit inexpensive looking).

Monica! I did see the early access thing, but I couldn’t figure it out because I am an old grandma, so I just went for it and bought the chairs. Most likely I’d spend all the time signing up just to find out that they’d only let you do one deal, or one promo code at a time. Usually I try and get all the deals though :)

Hey Kay! I’m hoping it will work. Our house is all shades of blue and I love it, but green is my favorite color and I’m excited to use it a bunch in this cabin!

Jess! What do you think of the pouf? Does it keep it’s shape? I love the look of it. I’m going to need way more leather in this space.

Yes, you are right. I can always get a leather ottoman, I can’t always get these chairs! I think they are exactly the piece I was looking for, and the price is hard to beat.

Never have I ever purchased any big piece from UO before, and I like your angle! I am a little wary of the quality, but at the same time they look so good, for a reasonable price. They won’t get as much use as the sofa and womb chair in the main seating area, so fingers crossed.

! ! ! !

Hey Ashley! Such a bummer to hear about the filling, thanks for sharing. I’ll keep my eyes peeled in case you do come up with a solution for it. I have to say it looks awesome in your space, especially with the blue!

Hey Helen! I would love to sneak a leather ottoman into the equation, maybe after we close. Thanks for your comment about the blog, I think I’ve tried to keep up (barely) with what’s going on in the blogging world, and I just can’t cut it. Gonna just do it the old fashioned way and let it be what it is.

Honestly, I am worried about that too. Fingers crossed that won’t be the case.

did you see this? your chairs!!!
