My "New" Furniture--One Woman's Junk...

You know it's true:  "One woman's junk is another woman's treasure."
I accumulate a lot of treasures.  

And I have a husband who is an enabler.

 This little beauty was hanging out by the curb over in Druid Hills.


My darling hubby threw on the brakes and backed up.


"What do ya think?"
"Should we pick it up?"


She stayed in the basement stinking to high heaven for a number of months
before being lovingly cleaned and shipped off to the upholsterers.
(I know my limits--I do crappy upholstery.)


We just got her back and love her.  Don't exactly know where she'll end up, but what the heck.

Later,

Patti

What a lovely find!

I've started trolling around a very wealthy neighborhood that's close by because their trash is really nice.

Well, thankfully you were able to get it back. That thing is beautiful. I haven’t seen your whole house but, I think I can imagine how the chair is going to look inside. How long was she stuck in your basement? I cannot believe it’s still in good shape. There’s no visible evidence of wear and tear. It still looks as good as new. Nice!

That is actually a very cute chair. I think it’ll look good wherever you decide to put her. If you ask me, I think it’d look better in the living room. Given that you have matching decors to go with it; I think it’s going to be an excellent match!
