Silly question....

So I found this pink rocker/glider for $100 on craigslist for the nursery. Its at our house now.

It didnt come with an ottoman though and I want one. Do you think this would "go"?

or this one?

Or should I try to find one that's plain pink and more like the material on the chair (microfiber). I really dont want to spend a lot. I'd love to not spend a whole lot more than what we paid for the chair. Suggestions are cool.

ETA: This one could work too

Re: Silly question....

  • I LOVE the swirly one! It's adorable! I say go with that one.
  • I like the 2nd one too. Very cute.
  • Would you change your mind if the 3rd one was on sale and cheaper than the 2nd one?

    I like them all. God, who the hell cares, right? Its just a place to put your feet.

  • Nope because I kinda think the 3rd one is ugly. I'd still pick the 2nd one.
  • haha! thank you for being honest.

  • You're welcome! It's how I roll. Wink
  • Love the 2nd one Kari!

  • I like the 2nd one too.  I could go with the 3rd, but it would have to be MUCH cheaper (like half) for me personally to compromise.  I think they swirly one is way cute.

  • I think if you tie the design in somewhere else it'll work perfectly. Like, if you do the gingham one, have gingham curtains. Or the striped one, with a striped afghan or something on the back of the chair. Or a swirly pillow.

    However, I'm anal retentive and need things to match. If I had to use something different from the chair (for whatever reason), I'd have to find a way to "tie it in" elsewhere. But I like them all, too.

  • Great CL find! But don't pay $100 for the chair. Offer $60 or $70 and see if they will give it to you for lower than asking price. I never pay full price for craigslist items, especially since you're going to want to have it steam cleaned. I like the second ottoman. Super swirly cute!!!
  • Sorry, but I have to go against the crowd and say I like the striped one the best!
  • With the chair, I was one of 5 people emailing about it so it was $100 or on to the next buyer. I'm cool with that though, its in great shape. Good point about it being steam cleaned. Can I do that myself?

    The bedding has both stripes and gingham (i'm spelling that wrong) on it so I was leaning more toward those two.

    Then in that case, I'd say my favorite is the gingham. And because I have fond memories attached to pink gingham:

  • This is just a crazy thought....but....

    You could do a footstool like the one in this nursery:

    Get a cheapie one like this on Amazon ($26) and paint it and get some cute fabric. That way, you can totally customize it:)

    Ohhh, gotchya! But I bet it was 300-400 new, so you made out like a bandit! You can get one of those carpet cleaners from the grocery store and usually they have a steam cleaner option thingi.

    We recently rented a carpet steam cleaner from the grocery store. It had an attachment for furniture too. We used it on our ottoman. It did an ok job, but probably not as good as a professional one. If the chair doesn't have any major stains (sounds like it doesn't) then it might be worth a try doing yourself:)

  • Rach! I love that idea!!! Now I'm on the hunt.

    Good to know about the steam cleaner. I'd have to look at it more closely but from what I saw it was quite clean. It doesnt smell either. It did come from a ritzy home in a ritzy area but who knows right? People are disgusting.
