I love a happy ending

I think of rooms as stories.  For many of us - we move into homes and apartments that need updating, lots of paint and umph! Here is a living room - that is the quintessential vintage home (it looks like this could be LA -- my apartment had the exact same feel) It needs lots of paint, and fab furnishings, and a spectacular layout.  This home mixes high and low price points with vintage finds and I absolutely adore it!

Grabbed these pics over at Bazaar of Serendipity!

Isn't the redo just absolutely amazing!! I just love this entire look and wouldn't change a single thing!!  See... you gotta love a happy ending!

Do you shag? Opinions would be good on this!

 I have a chair that has the abilities of looking pretty awesome covered in shag material.  But I am still on the fence about this.  This would be for the accent chair in my living room.  I have some pros and cons about it....  Pro - It would look really interesting, and would definitely be a great conversation piece.
Con - No one will want to sit on it and it needs to be a multi-purpose room.  (The room is going to be painted grey fyi - on the darker side, with white molding)

Honestly - I am most likely not going to do the shag chair, but I've definitely contemplated it because its such a surprising look.  What do you think about this chair and what do you think about shag?

Above - this is my chair that needs recovering.  Great shape and great condition -- just needs little love.
