meet the twins

Ever make a deal with yourself?

You know...that little voice saying, "If it is here tomorrow, then it was meant to be."

Well I have to say that I love wheeling and dealing, but when it is with myself -- oh my..I am hardcore. I don't give myself till tomorrow or next week. I say 1 MONTH.

Well 1 month ago, I found myself at my local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and stumbled into the twins.


I glanced at the price..sat my bottom in one...squirmed and wiggled hoping to unclog my pipe dream (or scratch it and get a % off..hehhe...I am so bad).

Nothing. The chair was fabulous. So...I went to the next one...even better. (I sound like Goldilocks.)

Well, I made a deal with myself. If they are there in 1 month..it was meant to be. I could picture them perfectly in my Master Bedroom...in perfect symmetry.

The color of the wood is perfect (for now). They are in great shape fabric wise so I would not have to immediately reupholster them. Oh! And those dainty tapered legs with those accented covered buttons beckon me to lounge.



Tomorrow is 1 month. I guess we shall see if it was meant to be.

Cheers~

PS I took these pics with my phone and sent them to myself. I am not only impressed with my phone's picture quality...I can't believe I never thought of this before!

  12. Honey, go back and I pray those chairs are there. For that price, I would have bought them on the spot. I found one similar only the fabric was a gaudy mauve and it was $45 for one. They are great chairs. Good Luck!

  15. Those are gorgeous! Too bad they were gone! What a bummer! I give you credit. I would not be able to give myself a month! Probably not a day! I'm too impatient.
