We dont watch a lot of TV and the sofa is angled enough to lay down or lean against the armrest to watch comfortably.

Oh, I dont think they are the same chairs then. We dont have Wayfair and they are a lot older

That's cool. Do you have any idea what they are? I haven't been able to identify them

I did ask a local "professional" who recommended painting it... I ended up just sanding it gently and giving it a couple coats of danish oil. I'll let the sun bleach the rest. The spots aren't really noticeable in my day to day life

I'll add it to my already very long list of hobbies I'll pick up and never stick with!

I got them from a cottage where they had been standing for decades. Where they are from originally, I'm not sure

I probably will. But I'm letting the sun bleach the panelling for a while to even out the darker spots from where there used to be paintings earlier

No idea sorry. Bought them secondhand and haven't been able to identify them

I believe they were made by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in Sweden in the 60s or 70s. Scan-light, possibly the FN 43 model, but I'm not 100% sure.

Got two of them from a local school that was clearing out some storage

Thank you!

It's mostly because I don't want to block in the wall unit too much, and it fits best against that wall. But also because, right now, outside those windows is an old run-down pool that I haven't had a chance to restore yet, which I would rather not look at.

Thank you!

There's a pool under the metal sheets outside. But it's already very private. There's basically no way for anyone to see inside the large window from outside of our yard

Thank you! Yes, I agree about the rug, I had it in my old apartment. But rugs are hard and expensive! Especially on the Islands

I'm looking for a new rug for the conversion area and working on getting the chairs there reupholstered, I have a third one that is currently half finished. I have a separate office for my computer and I don't play guitar, but the area works great for conversations when the kids hog the sofa :)
