living room chairs.....at last.

if you read my blog you know that i have been looking for living room chairs for a while now...like since we moved in . . . in december.

i wanted some cool, comfy chairs that didn't cost too much.
the cheapest new chairs that i like are around 300 each.
i really didn't want to spend that much, especially since i like to redecorate often.
so i have been trolling craig's list for months.

finally, on one glorious day, i found them.

come to mama.
when i saw that little grainy craig's list picture, i could only hope they were all that i dreamed of.
i met the lady at her storage unit {same lady that i bought the shoe trunk from}.
i could not believe what great shape they were in.
the woman was selling her mother's estate.
she said these had been in her front room that they called, "the museum" and all the furniture had plastic over it. . . which is why these were in such good condition after all these years.
they are from 1968 and were recovered in 1990.


and they were $75 each.  woo. hoo.


i brought them home and painted the legs.

i painted them rushing river by sherwin williams {color matched at lowes}.

i loved these chairs before, but i am in love with these chairs now.

i big puffy heart love the tufting on the back cushion.

i know i shouldn't be so giddy over chairs, but they are just perfect.
they have loads of character, they're super comfy and they were such a good deal.

once again, it pays off to be patient and wait for the right thing. :)
