One Saturday, a friend and I went to this cute consignment/antique store in our town. This shop had it all…even had chairs…just not the style I really had in mind. The shop keeper is one of the sweetest people I have ever met, my friend wants to adopt her. The keeper informed us that there was more furniture in the back but there wasn’t any air conditioning. Being the troopers we are, we went out in the hot back area. Low and behold there they were. FIVE Windsor chairs. I almost squealed with excitement. I quickly checked the price tag…$65 for all five. JACKPOT! I wasn’t driving the truck that day so I had to wait till the next day to go back with my husband and pick them up. The lovely shop keeper generously knocked $5 off the total. So I ended up with 5 windsor chairs for $60 ($12 each). Not too shabby.
** It needs to be mentioned that while in the hot back area of the shop, my friend and I stumbled across the most beautiful china cabinet I have ever seen. It was definitely a colonial style piece and had the age marks to prove it. For a reasonable $225 it could’ve been ours…however it was too tall for my house. My ceilings are 8 foot ….this was right at 8 ft if not over. Oh well it was lovely eye candy while we were trekking back and forth with the chairs.
Here are the chairs, aren’t the lovely? Just plain and simple. : )
These are the colors we’re considering to paint the chairs. They won’t be bright and shiny, we want rough and aged…so imagine these colors dry brushed on the chairs. Pretty, huh?
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!!
pretty! I can't wait to see them painted and everything! And that's a great deal!
