I’ve been looking to do a room refresh for awhile at the farm. Specifically, I’ve been looking for new chairs. I have a church pew there now and nobody wants to sit on it. What’s the deal? Just kidding. I thought the piece was amazing, meaning really charming, but not so good for sitting. I plan to put it back on my porch when I put the new chairs in here. Doesn’t it look comfy? Okay, maybe not so much.
BTW, this post is sponsored by Birch Lane. All opinions are my own. I’m joining some fabulous bloggers this week as we share our Birch Lane room refresh with you. I hope you saw the amazing room at Thistlewood Farms yesterday.
So I found some chairs I LOVE at Birch Lane. These are the Ellery Tufted Club Chairs. They are for the farm as I mentioned earlier, but I wanted to show them to you at our city house today. Why? Because I wanted to show you how they look in different settings. Today I’ll show you the chairs here, then later, I’ll show them to you at the farm. I want you to see how they look with a more formal backdrop, and later with a more casual one. I love that they are so versatile.
Yes I love my white furniture, but these chairs are for the farm, and I wanted something a bit lower maintenance. The dark gray will do nicely. I love the tufting and those legs with the casters. They get me every time. The gray will also go with many colors so I can change out the pillows and throws when I want a new look. Below I am showing the chair with a lovely embroidered blue pillow.
I love the paperwhites in here. They give the room a fresh look. I showed you how to force the blooms yesterday, click here.
The blooms are very fragrant too.
Below I’ve gone fairly neutral with the throws and pillows. One of the pillows is a grainsack pillow. I think the chairs work equally well whether I dress them up or down.
In the interest of full disclosure there was some assembly required. I had to screw on the legs, no tools needed, and I was done in just a minute or two. I’m showing you several different pillows so you can see different looks.
These chairs are pretty awesome and you are going to be pleased when you see the price. I really haven’t seen anything like this for the price. I know you want affordable options, and this chair is definitely what I would call a good buy.
It was a little difficult photographing the chairs, because someone kept photobombing the area. We had some bad storms the night before, and she wanted to be in here with me. I kept sending her to her bed to get her out of the room, but the she kept sneaking back in. Oh well, every room looks better with a dog in it.
Here are some of the amazing posts from the Birch Lane refresh this week.
What a wonderful color…soft enough to go with most every thing
Lovely choice and charming entry
The chairs look great in this space and I’ll bet they will be perfect at the farm.
Love the chairs! Would they go with a brown leather couch?
Not loving it, sorry! Lol I think the gray is a bit dark and the clean lines too modern.
I just want the blue and white checked chairs in your office!
Looks lovely, I love the console table .I have been searching for the exact same size and style,I cant find it anywhere.. I think you probably wont remember where you found yours right? Your home is beautiful.
LOVE the chairs! And what a GREAT price! Nice to know they come in a natural as well. Both good choices for farmhouse style! Great eye Anita!
Love these chairs. I have a big project coming up starting next week so something for me to think about adding
Beautiful home. So just where do you live? I mean, in which house?
Really like those chairs and the color is very versatile. I am shopping for new chairs/sofas for so this share is timely. Thanks
Pat
ps. Love the photo bombing pup, include her more please.
I like the chairs, but wish the grey was a little lighter. However, the dog get a complete thumbs up!
Love the chairs! I prefer the picture with just a pillow and no throw, so the tufting can be appreciated.
So pretty! Grey is such a versatile color as you have shown with the different pillows. Can’t wait to see them at your farmhouse!
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! I really like that you are sharing something besides white. Much as I love white it is just not practical when you live on a farm. I’m still wrestling with finding a neutral leather for a sofa. Not white or off white. A reclining sofa that has straight lines and no pouchy bustles!
Finally, finally we found two models by the Bradington Young company, made in USA and available in lots of colors of leather. Do you know anything about that company?
I’m checking the color samples now in my living room. Sigh. Wish you were here!
Thanks for sharing. I’ll look through Birch Lane’s offerings.
I love the church pew! The gray chairs are beautiful….I may try to find them when my remodel is finish.
The chairs look great and the gray looks perfect in your home. Can’t wait to see how they look at the farm. My concern about them is the seat cushion is attached, and over time, depending on how often they’re used and the weight of who sits in them, the wrap inside can start to slide forward. I had that problem with very similar chairs. Eventually had the seats detached and covered in a buffalo check because there was no way to find an exact match. They look great and now I can flip the cushions, but it cost $235 per chair. Suddenly they weren’t such a bargain!
I agree! Every room looks great with a dog in it and yours is beautiful.
Love the gray chairs. I recently refreshed our great room with a new sofa and chair. The sofa is a gray/blue blend. What a new look. You are talented to be able to remodel each room.
I like the chairs and the way you showed them with different colors and styles. I agree, every room looks
better with a dog in it!!
Very nice chairs and what a great price! Love your dog also!
Love the new chairs. What did you do with the other ones? Did you take them to the Ranch?
The chairs are lovely and look so inviting…. The bench was nice but I agree it should be against a wall, in an entry way or on a covered porch. Great addition. I love gray.
Hi… me again.
Did you make your ottoman?? I’ve made them in the past. So I was wondering what the circumference is and if it has pleasted skirt or gathered. Doesn’t appear gathered from the picture. Thinking of making another one. Just wanted to get some info from you. Many thanks!!
I made a slipcover for the ottoman. The slipcover has a ruffled cover.
lovely chairs, I have been looking to do the same….but am hesitant about ordering without sitting in them…how is the comfort and quality of these from Birch Lane? … the choices from these companies on line are so good., its just well, what will they be like…thanks for any help on this
Every thing goes with grey , nice chairs.
Love the grey chairs! I look forward to seeing them in your farmhouse. I’m going to be ordering a new sectional sofa in a very dark grey in the near future, and I’m so excited! I love your dog too. Collies are so cool, you don’t see them as often anymore.
I look forward to see what you show next! So many ideas!!
I concur, those chairs are gorgeous.
Great chairs. They sort of remind me of a set I had in the 70”s,,,,I know, don’t laugh but they were displayed in the store as “Club Chairs.” When I re-do my formal living room I will be shopping for something very similar. My concern is always with color. Recent articles have claimed that the gray color is on the way out. I don’t want to have out of date chairs before they get here! This happened with carpet, green, really green chosen by husband and son. Hold me down, it has to go!!!!
Love the chairs! The small casters on the end of the legs would not be practical in our home, we are fairly large people that need a more substantial ‘footing’. But that being said, they look comfy and timeless in style.
And your sweet puppy! I agree that every photo is better with a dog in it so leave her in! Poor thing needs the support during these storms. And she is gorgeous. Would love to see more of her.

I love the grey chairs. Would a stripped, red cushion work on it? I would love to bring some lighter grey and some more red detail to my lounge, but with 5 Dachshund dogs that have taken over our sitting room, it seems nigh impossible to make it more formal. Thank you for all the ideas which I hope to implement one day.
Be blessed.

Are they comfortable?
Yes the are comfortable. Just keep in mind that many chairs you buy online are going to be firm. Just depends on what you are looking for.
She adds to the photo. A keeper. I, too, like the chairs. The gray is lovely!
I like the chairs too. Tons of details that doesn’t come from fabric pattern makes it awesome in my book! Maybe I missed it, but what type of fabric was used to cover them? And yes, every room looks better with a dog in it!!
I love your style. I can get caught up in this website for entirely too long. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
I am really thinking about using grey. It’s so easy work it in with many other colors and patterns
Love the look of the chairs. Love the dark stain on your floors. Did you do this and what color of stain?
No, we didn’t do the floors. They are reclaimed oak with a coffee stain.
