Todays finds are very different from my usual fare. I found some awesome pieces of furniture.
The two white chairs are my most recent addition to my living room. I got them both for $10.00. I also found the rug at the same garage sale for $15.00. We went to this sale at just the right time because they were getting ready to finish up and just wanted to get rid of their stuff. I took off the slip cover on one chair and left it on the other. I can't decide if I like it with or without. First I need to see if the slip cover will clean up. That will be the true deciding factor.
Here is a close up of the chair that does not have the slip cover on it right now.
After I bought the chairs I went home and went to the Ikea website because the lady who sold me the chairs said she bought them there. I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I visited the site. There was my exact same chair with a $129.00 price tag on it! I was so shocked. I just paid $10.00 for the same thing, and I got two chairs. I think I did pretty good. I thought about buying a new slip cover for the chair, but they cost $50.00, so i am just going to enjoy the chairs and if they get dirty I will just remember that I only paid $5.00 and their are other chairs in the world that could replace them.
Here is a peak of my other find, but because it is so heavy we are waiting for my brother to bring us a dolly so we can get it into the apartment. Will hopefully post tonight or tomorrow pictures of this amazing find.
Just to tease you on another post I am working on here is a sneak peak of my apartment decorated for Christmas.
Hope you all had a wonderfully thrifty week!

I want to go shopping/thrifting with you! Those chairs look really clean looking.
ReplyDeletelove the chair and like the one with the slip cover the best. I have a pair of ORANGE rocking chairs same shape as that but with button tuffed backs .... orange is not my choice of colors (cast offs from when relative moved) I tied queen size sheets around them ... wish I could find white slipcovers that would fit.
ReplyDeleteGreat buy on the chairs. I love those and they are so versatile! I am enjoying my decorting and can't wait to see more of yours.
ReplyDeleteThose chairs are amazing. Gotta love the price. I say use them and when they are marked and dirty, get rid of them. Can't go wrong at $5 a chair. So jealous.
ReplyDeleteThey look so clean and nice, what a great find! The whole room looks nice. :) ~ Jenny
ReplyDeleteGreat chairs! I like the slipcovered chair the best. I wonder if you could dye them once they get dirty or stained?
ReplyDeleteI had some luck with chairs this week, too. If you get a chance to stop by my blog, you can see my deals.
Great find on the chairs! They look great, and I agree that you could dye the slipcover, a new look!
ReplyDeleteGreat deals on the chairs. I like them without the slipcovers myself.
ReplyDeleteI love your ornaments... I just posted about some glittery snow-tree decorated glass ornaments I found at the thrift!
Thanks for sharing. Your chairs are awesome either way, what a deal. And the rug looks great with your couch and the chairs. I really love the coffee table as well. Is that a thrifting find?
ReplyDeleteThrift envy! I love to shop the last hours of a sale.
ReplyDeleteGreat deal!!! The end of a sale is the best!!!
ReplyDeletei love the chairs.. and i think i like them better without the slip covers! nice find, rachy...
ReplyDeleteAwesome finds! That's a great deal for those chairs!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot! Early Christmas for you! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think, style wise, the chairs look better without the slip covers. The couch has similar legs to the chairs when the cover is off.
ReplyDeleteWay to find the bargains - wait til the end of the sale :) I like them without the slipcovers.
