Dreaming of the Right Chair

Notice the new header and color? I know I'm such a pain when it comes to the look of my blog {I feel like I've changed it a bazillion and one times}, but I felt like I needed more of a contrasting color to the grey and then that led to me playing with my header and well that was that. I will be tweaking it more over the weekend just to get it just right. I'm probably going to change it again sometime in the near future because I'm never satisfied with it ever so I'm apologizing in advance.  Sorry if it bothers you. But moving on!

Well the boyfriend has been without a 'man chair', as he calls it, for about a year now. Lily, our youngest cat, decided about this time last year that she wanted to 'mark her territory' over and over again on the former 'man chair' so we have been on the constant search for a new one ever since {we had to toss it, it got pretty nasty}. He wants a recliner and I want it to match our decor and look stylish so we have to find the right chair that meets in the middle. Recliner's aren't very aesthetically pleasing to me, but a nice club chair that has a deep back or that does recline would be fine. We haven't had the best of luck finding the perfect chair on a (shoes string) budget. We both would love a beautiful leather chair, but I'm afraid the cats claws would eventually get to it. They are very good furbabies and don't claw at furniture but they love to run and jump on things and I'm afraid one slip and it'll be over. This past Saturday we decided to go on a serious hunt for a chair but had no luck. We did find a good option at our local World Market, but I'm not 100% sold on it because it's mostly leather. I also found a beautiful leather chair from World Market online that I'm almost in love with but again leather! I'm trying to stay under $400 if possible but am willing to go a maximum of $500 if I need to. Anyone have a great upholstered chair that they recently bought that they love and purchased for under $400 {We don't live near an Ikea so thats out}? Any help would be great! Here is the chair we've been looking at that we saw the other day, that is mostly leather of course.

Any thoughts or suggestions? xoxo, Kayleigh.
