side table

set of chairs*

and a rocker for the princess
Quite a successful trip–and all from one store!
I’m all about getting pieces with ‘potential’ these days. Every time I go thrifting all I can think about is reupholstering all these amazing pieces and how awesome they’d look. I’ve actually become a little obsessed with the idea. So I think I’m going to take an upholstery class this winter and actually recover one {and eventually both} of the living room chairs! I’d also love to re-do Beanie’s little rocker as well. I’m very excited at the prospect of learning to reupholster. When you’re on a fixed budget but still want a one-of-a-kind look in your home, thrifting/antiquing is the way to go. If you can re-finish them after that, even better. I’ll keep you posted on any refinishing work!
*after purchasing these chairs I woke up at 4 in the morning dreaming about bedbugs–a somewhat new phenomenon in Cincy. I couldn’t go back to sleep until I crept downstairs with a flashlight and checked the chairs thoroughly for the little critters. I think we’re safe {knock on wood}.
