YAY! Today is my birthday and do you know what I got? My egg chair! It was a big group gift from Brandon and his family.
It’s big enough to curl up inside with my legs tucked under myself (my favorite way to sit). I’ll have to make sure I don’t plant any bee-attracting plants directly around the chair! I came up with this little plan awhile back and I think I might stick with it.
Here’s the view from inside the chair:
I’m so thrilled! What an amazing gift.
[...] been looking for a ceramic garden stool to go next to my egg chair as a little side table, but I haven’t had much luck finding an inexpensive one that I liked. [...]

Nice chair! I have backyard envy, yours is huge!
The scale of the egg to the house is perfect. It gives your yard a very neat, cozy feel.
Happy birthday! I wouldn’t worry about attracting bees to your nice neutral-colored egg unless you wear a ton of red while you’re in it. Bees aren’t really interested in us, it’s stuff like yellowjackets and wasps that are, and you’re still probably ok as long as you don’t eat in your egg…
Day late but happy birthday! I too am wearing those fabulous purple Old Navy flats. Love them! Been enjoying your blog for a while now…thanks!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
That chair looks amazing! I know you are stoked. The only bad part is that it is not the beginning of warm weather but the end. At least you can take a blanket & curl up out there in your egg chair. Is that cushion weather proof?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Nicole! Yay! I’m so happy you got your “dream chair”! What a great gift!
Enjoy!
Hooray! What a great place to relax from your busy schedule.
happy birthday! and congrats on the chair. I love it!
and i love the shoes..i have them myself..in 3 colors!!!
Egg chair is the best gift ever! Besides life I guess :)
I would chain that thing down though — there are some crazy thieves in the Chicago area. I have gotten the weirdest things stolen from my yard.
Hi Nicole,
I love the egg chair. Yesterday was my birthday as well. I hope you had a wonderful celebration.
Happy Birthday Nicole!
The egg chair looks fabulous!
happy belated and it is a wonderful chair!
Reason 523 why having a blog is awesome: your family knows what you want for your birthday. Hope you had a good one! (Mine is next week – hooray!)
Happy belated birthday!!
Funny, last Sunday I was at Copenhage airport and I saw an egg chair that reminded me of how you wanted one… now, I come back and I find you got it!
You know what they say….”Roosters crow, but Hens deliver!”
Looks like a good spot for any ole Hen -making it all lovely!
A perfect spot for sitting on ideas and hatching them!
Happy Birthday Nicole :) Love the egg chair!
happy belated birthday! the egg chair looks beautiful in your backyard, and i love love LOVE those purple shoes you have on.
happy belated birthday Nicole! Love the way your backyard is coming along! It’s making me jealous. That egg chair really is a great addition. Way to go Brandon & fam!
You rule! I love that chair.
once again, you prove to be the luckiest woman on the earth! congrats!
Happy Birthday, a few days late of course. Your new chair is beautiful. The whole yard is really nice but that chair makes it look 10x more cute and comfortable.
happy belated birthday! what a lovely present – how fun! every time I’m at a fancy hotel i think about getting one of those!
Cool chair, but one question- what do you do when it rains?
OH MY! I meant to reply to everyone sooner. Thank you for all the birthday well-wishes and nice comments about the lovely egg chair!
Erin, it’s plastic and the cushions are weather-resistant. No worries in the rain!
