CHAIRS, CHAIRS AND MORE CHAIRS

I have lost count of what round of  musical chairs I am on now, 
but it seems I have a bit of a chair fetish.
I just recently bought these great Bentwood chairs and loved them at the dining room table. 
For about two months, that is.  
Then, I came across these vintage chrome and rattan chairs.


I bought them from an on-line estate sale.
I paid $12 total for the four chairs. 
They are similar to the chrome and wicker chairs I bought last year. 
Those are now residing in furniture purgatory (AKA, the basement).


I am in the process of recovering the seats with some fabric I had on hand. 
I have every intention of finishing up the project over the weekend.

Since the new chairs ended up in the dining room, 
I decided to move the Bentwood chairs to the family room.
Those seats will be recovered this weekend also. 


How about we take a little walk down memory lane to see just how indecisive I really am.


It does make me feel a little better knowing I didn't pay more than $10 a piece for all of these chairs 
(with the exception of the parsons chairs - still a great deal from the Pottery Barn Outlet).
Full disclosure here folks!


I think I need to start getting rid of some chairs (and tables & lamps).
Furniture purgatory is getting a little over crowded.

  3. Well whenever you get the bug to change it up, you can always play chair switcheroo like you have been. They are all so fun and the best part, they were inexpensive!

  6. Enter craigslist... sell those puppies and fund a fun new purchase! If I lived closer, I would buy some of them from you!

  9. It's pretty amazing you keep finding sets of them. I usually find one or two random ones here or there, but to have 4 of each...you could totally sell those puppies and make some good cash! Maybe Etsy?? I love all of them but the wooden school ones really got me! They're so unique. And really, at that price, how can you pass them up? ;)

  11. You crack me up Andrea!!! I love your newest chairs and can't wait to see all your chairs recovered - keep us updated! I have the opposite problem - I can't commit to any chairs! My kids ask me NIGHTLY when we are getting new chairs, and I scour CL and online stores but I just can't take the plunge. I wish you lived near me - you seem to have the knack for finding cool ones!

  12. I had to pop on over and see what this post was all about. I live in a 600 sq ft cottage with my husband and daughter and have 16 chairs in here! I'm not indecisive, I just like them all! Those wooden ones with the aqua metal on the back are my faves!
