The family went to Goodwill on Saturday afternoon about 2:30. I always go to the books first, which happen to be just past the furniture. Sitting on the end were two gorgeous wing-backed chairs. Navy blue fabric, some small pattern, a little old fashioned but not too much. Similar to this.
I noted them, thought they'd make amazing chairs for our library, or maybe a chair in my room, and then continued on to the books. Where I should probably mention I didn't find even a single book, although I did contemplate some Reader's Digests for decorating, but didn't because I didn't find spine colors I liked...first world problems.
I would have done something like this. Maybe in the future.
Anyway, we went home and I thought about the chairs all the rest of the evening. So I decided on Sunday to go back after church and get them if they were still there, which I highly doubted. And they weren't. I was bummed but not really surprised, and then I noticed a small, slightly mauve colored chair sitting there.
Now, I know the color isn't fantastic, but this chair is one I can easily slip cover, and when you put a pillow on top, it drastically improves it. This chair is super comfy, and definitely more in line with my style. And it was only $7. I put it in my bedroom.
And then I saw some wood on a chair, so I had to investigate. Totally ugly green cushion, but it could come off. I can't believe this was still sitting there and for only $10. Look at it! It totally rocks. I couldn't find any markings on who made it, but the cushion cover is real leather and not fake, so I am thinking it's probably not your average Target, but even if it was I don't care at all. This chair is in my living room being admired by me every time I walk pass it.
I might still be a little bummed I missed out on the wingback chairs. They really would have been gorgeous in the library, but it wasn't meant to be. And next time, I will snatch those chairs up!
