Thanks for the information and tips! I will definitely measure the existing chair so I can compare the dimensions. The space is a little bit flexible, but something really big would look out of proportion.

Wow, the Carlisle is HUGE. Too big. Thanks for pointing that out.

What about the Savannah? Does it look like it belongs in a bedroom?

I'll go take a look at Restoration Hardware, but I imagine it's out of budget. Other places I ought to look? In the general price range of $1200 or less and I'd like to find a slip covered chair.

Thanks!

Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Barn Savannah

Oh, that is really nice. Does the size work?

ALso try Lee Industries (they call it "Coveralls" iirc) and Mitchell Gold Bob Williams.

I have a Pottery Barn slip-covered sectional in the ivory linen cotton fabric. LOVE it. Used to sit on it all the time in the store. It does work best to put them back on still slightly damp after washing. I try to wash them with the seasons, but sometimes they go longer. And I, too, can't imagine having a sofa without slipcovers. I have a granddaughter and a dog and it still looks great!

The second chair is much easier to put a slipcover on due to the bottom cushion. Also, try a plastic bag on cushions when putting on covers, they will slide in easy and then you pull the bag out. I love slipcovers and being able to change out during the seasons.

I need to triple check, but I think the size is good.

Thanks everyone!

My DD has the Carlisle sofa and a chair and ottoman in her apartment.... They are so big she cannot use them both in the same room! The Savannah chair is darling, I'd choose that.
