My $7 chair

So the other day I headed out fully intent on purchasing one of the two $99 chairs I had scouted out, but came home with an extra $92 in my pocket. Wahoo!!!

I ended up taking a random trip to a few thrift stores and found this beauty... don't be jealous, yes that is a baby pink felt seat!



7 dollars, some upholstery fabric I had lying around, a thin layer of batting, some staples, wiped it down, added a layer of stain and viola... a new chair for our master bedroom.

I stumbled across your blog from the Muffett's blog (I remember falling in love with your big stone wall and fireplace last time I looked at it, like, a year ago!) and I just have to say, I am TERRIBLY jealous of that chair! I still regret not buying a pair that looked just like that almost 2 years ago at a garage sale, and I've been searching for some ever since! Nice find, it looks great :-)
