That Chair!

I love vintage furniture...especially chairs.  I always have one or two (okay 10) in my garage, just waiting to be called into action.  I haven't painted anything at all this summer.  June and July whizzed by, and then August just kind of happened.  I froze in the hottest month of the year.  

I've started to "thaw" out and what better to get me back on track than a design challenge!  I'm planning the set for a concert, three dressing rooms and an artists' lounge.  I'm making waaay too much of it, I know, but it feels amazing to be coming out of the fog that follows the death of a loved adored one.  My sister shared my love of thrifting and she would be right beside me, treasure hunting.  I've had to forge ahead without her, but she would probably be shaking her head at me buying another chair.  I have the excuse of a big project to finish within the next two weeks, but after it's over, I will have a couch and 13 chairs that I bought rather than rented because buying  thrifting is cheaper than renting.  I'll have to figure out what to do with them once it's all over, but I'm going to enjoy it in the meantime.  

Being no longer a minivan driver, the hauling is a challenge in itself, but where there's a will...


 It took a bit of maneuvering, but yes, there is room!  My car isn't as small as I thought.  Just lay the seats down and remove a few things.  I'm not saying what those things are.  Sooo not important, because I found space for this beauty:

I know, right?

Just $25---and not the best buy of the day.  Nope that distinction goes to the $6.99 sofa.  Yes, I am that good.  Yes, it needs some cleaning.  Yes, there are stains that I just don't want to know about.  But it's going to be awesome. As for this amazing chair, it needs nothing but a tired bottom to land on it.
