One bright, beautiful Saturday morning (today), a Mom (me) dropped her wonderful boys off for a weekend of fun with their grandparents. The mom decided to visit some Wondrous Garage Sales and Well-Stocked Thrift Stores on the way home.
Cash in hand, she stopped at the first Garage Sale and fell promptly in love with this beautiful chair and its partner:
The chairs were each marked $2.50, which seemed to be an amazing deal! After chatting with the Garage Saler for a while, however, said chairs were lowered – to $2.00 each. How could the mom pass up such a deal?
She couldn’t.
Several garage sales later, the chairs remained her only purchases. Enter the Well-Stocked Thrift Store, which had this fun chair sitting out front, priced at only $6.00:
A quick chat with the Store Owner quickly resulted in another $1 markdown.
The end.
And that, my friends, is how I ended up at home today, giddy and happily planning the future lives of my three new chairs. (Betcha didn’t know you could fit three chairs in a Civic, eh?) Which I picked up for a total of $9. Total. $9!!
Just wait until I get these guys to Seattle and find new fabric and paint for them!

Can’t wait to see what you do with the chairs. I like the style of the last. I hope you post step by step pics and you re-upholster. I am clueless, but curious.
