These striped chairs were the perfect addition to the room.Photo: Courtesy of Kenzie ElizabethThe regretsI always pictured navy striped armchairs in this room and recently added two that Im completely in love with. For months, Id look online for and could never find anything similar to what I was imagining, and if I found something close they were always really expensive. Then one day, I saw my current chairs on Wayfair for $300 each, which is a really good deal for this type of chair. Theyre right by my fireplace so Ill go sit in them and read at night, its so cozy. Even though I got these for a good price, I tried a ton of different chairs in the space before I found the striped one. I wish I had waited for what I really wanted and not tried to find something to fit in the interim because I ended up selling them on Facebook Marketplace and feeling like I wasted money.The final lookI didnt want my space to feel like I just moved in and ordered a bunch of stuff on CB2 to the point that it looked like a catalog. It should reflect me, my life, and where Im at. For some reason, my living room has been a space that Ive focused less on in the past, which doesnt really make sense because its the most used room in the house. In fact, I dont think Ive ever been 100% obsessed with any living room Ive had since moving out of my parents house. Really, this has been 10 years in the making. Ever since redesigning it, I spend so much more time here; I love it. It was money well spentso well spent.Shop Products Inspired by Kenzie Elizabeths Living RoomLandry SofaRomines Modern Soft Stripe Upholstered Swivel Barrel ChairFaux Hydrangea Arrangement - 12Softest Knit Wool Rug 9x12Bohemian Frill Striped Pillow CoverCurved Seagrass Baskets43 The Frame TVThis story is a part of Room Receipts, a series where we get real about the costs behind one well-designed room.
