Guest Blogger: Apartment 34
This is Erin from Apartment 34. I’ve loved Ally and her blog since she was my follow Seattle-ite blogger, albeit briefly. Now I’m loving following her cross country travels and design inspirations! When she asked me to guest blog and share one of my favorite design trends I was thrilled.
While I found it incredibly hard to narrow my favorite inspirations, one kept cropping up – chairs used as room accessories rather than a place to sit. I particularly love chairs as bedside tables.




There are so many sweet, interesting, personality-filled ones out there that need a home and what better place than next to your bed!

i love the idea of a pretty chair used as a nightstand! And love Erin of course!

Agreed – one of my favorite accessories! And not just because it makes me feel a whole lot better about the stools I'm currently using as nightstands

Erin, very fun & inspirational! I am thinking I will adopt the idea for our guest bedroom. Why I have not thought about it before – is beyond me… I am with you – too much loveliness out there!
love this post… very stylish interiors

Wonderful examples! Although – how do you deal with chair guilt? I always feel like I'm supposed to keep it cleaned off…

What an incredibly timely post… Just yesterday I turned one of our underutilized chairs into a bedside table in our guest room. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked in that function! Thanks for sharing some other to inspire my arrangement of the objects!

I love the idea of having a chair as a nightstand…I always think it looks so cool in photos. But sadly my yellow lab would just view any books on it as his own personal chew toy

I love Erin and I couldn't agree more! I use a chair as a TV Stand (I think most TV Stands are atrocious) looking, and sometimes as a bedside table!
