Inspiration of the Week: Up!

I finally watched Pixar’s Up this past weekend and, of course, fell in love with it.

Carl and Ellie are the cutest couple ever and they have great chairs.  I love how they get them when they set up their house together as newly-weds and they have them until the end.

It reminds me of my grandparents’ old house.  My grandfather had his chair that he always sat in.  I saw a chair just like his for the first time not too long ago and it immediately took me back.   I remembered what the fabric felt like and the smell of their house.  That chair suited him perfectly and I will forever remember him sitting in it.

Now, just watch the first little bit of this clip from Up so you can see their chairs (and then pause it before it gets to the tear-jerker part…you’re welcome!)

We were watching the movie with my family and my husband pointed out how perfect it was that Ellie has the curvy wing back chair and that Carl has the plain boxy chair.  He said Ellie’s chair is like a Spruced up chair I would have. We don’t have our “his & hers” chairs just yet but I’m sure we will eventually.  It looks like there are some candidates out there:
