A BIG Surprise!

 While shopping in Home Goods with my mom last week I came across this fabulous chair! I've been wanting to get a new chair for my living room to replace the rocker I had, and when I saw this one it was love at first sight!! Now on to the big surprise, my mom bought the chair for me as an early birthday present:) My birthday isn't for another 3 months! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU MOM xoxoxo.


 Now a new chair needs a new pillow to go with it right!?! I found this one in HG too for only $16.99!






  Here's a before with the rocking chair. I have plans for this chair if I am able to convert it. Stay tuned for that one.

                           So much better!!                     

          Thank you mom I LOVE my new chair!
                           Love you, Martina

I adore going to Home Goods even when I walk out with nothing purchased. It just makes me feel good to be in there. I always wish those chairs were comfortable, but they certainly are pretty to look at.

GORGEOUS, Martina !! The chair looks perfect in its new home ... and, the pillow is fabulous !! I'm warning you though, if I happen to see that same pillow in our HG, I may have a case of DJS and place it in my cart !! LOL xo

Your corner is much improved. I have not been in Home Goods for several weeks, and I never seem to find things as pretty as the chair and pillow!

Andrea said...

What an amazing find! You have one heck of a mother.

Ann from On Sutton Place said...

Absolutely perfect...and it means so much more since it was a gift from your Mom. The nearest Home Goods is a 90 minute drive so I don't get there too often...but what a great find. Enjoy just looking at it!

Lori said...

so perfect with the little table too! Yay for Moms and birthdays.

Rosemary@villabarnes said...

I ♥ your new chair, Martina. It just accents that little cupboard above it so well. The nearest HG is an hour away and I haven't visited for a while. Of course, I never buy furniture there (wonder why...) but the accessories are always something I look at. Cute pillow to go w/your early b-day gift. :-)

Beverly@southernhomesweethome said...

Love the chair and the pillow. I cannot wait to see what you do w/ the rocker.. I have one that I rocked my kids in that is similar. Would love a new look for it.
