I had high hopes of having my pink chairs recovered.
Then I priced it out and realized it would be cheaper to buy new chairs.
Bubble busted.
I figured if I was going to put something in the chairs place it needed to be love seat sized. One chair just wasn’t cutting it.
Enter: settee
My mom found this $30 beauty on craigslist and when I was home this past weekend we went to look at it and immediately bring that bad boy home.
Talk about perfect fit
The fabric is in perfect condition. The wood has a bunch of chippy paint and I will probably paint it sooner (or later) in a color that pops a bit more.
You just cant get something in this good of shape for $30.
Honestly, I thought it was a typo and she wanted $300 not $30. The clouds parted though, $30 buckaroo’s it was!
Now I have more seating, a conversation piece, and something to add some vintage flair.
Welcome to the family settee. We are glad to have you
I kind of like the chippy paint...shabby chic! Are you going to get rid of the pink chairs?
