Can you get both perhaps?<br /><br />Hugs - Mary<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785478319665800852.post-74209592881568576872014-01-28T05:40:42.597-08:002014-01-28T05:40:42.597-08:00LEATHER CHAIR! looks fab...

It's so lovely when your are nearing the end of a project-selecting the furniture and finishings is great and my favourite part. I love both chairs but leather always looks so good and is easier to wipe clean. We have a big old leather sofa, it's years old but has pets on it, tv dinners from it, things spilt on it, a cat was sick on it, and it cleans easily-Once a year I use a restorative cream and it looks almost new.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785478319665800852.post-8243832544253249902014-01-25T03:10:40.101-08:002014-01-25T03:10:40.101-08:00Good morning Annie!

I am a "Europhile" and especially love France, since I am a French teacher. But my dream before I leave the earth is to go up your way, to see what I believe is one of the last untouched places. How marvelous that you are renovating your cottage, and your furniture LOVE is strikingly beautiful! That leather couch looks like the right choice, and you can always put a cashmere throw on it!<br /><br />Thank you kindly for coming by my post and for commenting. I am so happy that you enjoyed the photos; I love trying to mix interests such as gardening, furnishings and nature with fashion as well, to please a range of guests. But what I love the most is adding words and music...many thanks.<br /><br />Enjoy a lovely day up in the highlands - a most magical place.

I love that long cabinet and your choice of lamps. I would go with the leather chair. I love the look of the chair itself and I love leather as it ages and looks lived in.<br /><br />I prefer wooden shutters to blinds, but the important thing that nothing blocks your views or the sun,Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.com
