If this chair doesn’t make you smile, nothing will. I’ve had a natural high since Friday night, when I spied this floor sample at Crate & Barrel on sale for $699! I’ve been dying for this seating group (“Petrie“–you get extra points if you knew it’s named after Rob & Laura Petrie from The Dick Van Dyke Show) and this particular special order fabric shot the original price from $899 straight up to nearly $1800. So I felt very victorious to have managed to snag it so cheap.

It’s now the most coveted seat in the house. I love sitting in it too, but I’d rather sit across from it and gaze lovingly at it.

Oh, and those horrid mini-blinds in the background? Give me time…
