Roundup: Green Chairs

We're feeling very basic today...it's one of those white t-shirt and blue jeans days. When we caught this photo of a green chair from Living Etc., something about its simplicity spoke to us, and we went searching for other examples of rooms with chairs in this cheerful hue...

 
 

A single, brightly painted or upholstered chair can go a long way towards bringing a room to life, especially if it's the color of lush, growing things.

I've fallen in love with two green chairs in my life. I've felt more strongly about them than any other piece of furnitre I've owned. I don't know why. The first I bought at a garage sale for $10. It looked to be from the 1950s. We were happy for several years. Then I loaned it to a neighborhood organization for "staging" a vacant house. I never saw it again. I pined for it for a number of years. Then one day I came upon an even lovelier green chair at a thrift store. $13! I'm letting this one go!
