Friday's Find: Vintage Dining Chairs

TGITF Friends! I am so excited about today's feature--these Vintage chairs I rescued from my favorite thrift store for $8 each!  When I updated my dining room several months ago, I sold the two bulky parson chairs  that were at each end of my table.  Since then, I have been holding out for just the right chairs.   More than once, I was tempted and almost bought something I liked but didn't love.  As is often the case, I am so glad I waited because these I truly, madly love! 

 

My favorite local thrift was expanding to a second location across the street from the original.  I already had plans to go to their grand re-opening sale but when I saw these chairs and their price tags on their Facebook page the night before, I decided to be there when the store opened.  I was first in line, and my local blogging buddy Audrey was right behind me! We chatted a few minutes until the store opened.  

When the doors opened, I spied them right away.  There were five but I only needed two.  I had one hand on each of my picks when a rather grumpy gentleman informed me that he needed all five.  Nothing doing--I was the early bird, after all! I gripped my chairs a little tighter, smiled sweetly and stated firmly, that I already picked my two.  He wasn't too happy...but that didn't dampen my spirits! 

I'm sure you have guessed a makeover is in progress.  Here, I have removed the cushions and my chairs are ready to be transformed. By the way, you won't believe what I used to recover the cushions--can you envision the loveliness? Be sure to come back Sunday to see them revealed!
