I couldn't resist

I had vowed to avoid Goodwill this week and I failed.


Yep, I bought myself a chair.

The best part, she {yes, this beautiful chair is a lovely lady} was only $3.99.  


Even though she needs some TLC can't you see how sexy she is?  I mean look at those legs and that tufting. 


When I showed my husband this beauty, he responded, 'Oh, you bought a chair.'

Um, what I am sure he meant to say was, 'Amy, I can't believe you found that stunning chair for just $4.  She's lovely, just like you'.  

At least someone appreciates this chair as much as I do...

  3. 'Amy, I can't believe you found that stunning chair for just $4. She's lovely, just like you'. That's exactly what I would have said. What a steal, so excited to see what you do.

  5. Great chair!! Is the upholstery in good enough shape to leave? I hope for your sake it is...nightmare to have to do that.

    You basically stole that thing. Are you going to reupholster it yourself?

  22. Guys just don't get it, they just don't. They are not wired that way (ok most). That is why you have us! So we can squeal and say wow what a bargain, and it's gonna look even more FABulous when you are done it with!! I wish I had a spare corner in my apartment that I could just get a fab chair like that, or piece of furniture to refinish. But alas I don't, so I will just oooh and ahhh at others' repurposing and go reorganize my closet so that maybe just maybe I can fit more stuff in there lol. Where are you planning on putting it?

  23. You crack me up! And I just cannot believe that your goodwill has such low prices. Every day this week I've thought, I should just run to goodwill and see if they have anything, but I have held myself back. Good thing it's so hot out that I don't feel like venturing out any more than I have to. After the longest yardsale it's been hard waiting a full week til the next garage sales! I'm desperately trying not to succumb to midweek shopping. If I could get a great deal like that, I really don't see what the harm would be, but I have a feeling such a bargain would not be what I would walk away with. Good work. What are your plans for it?
