I went back and and forth about whether I would go to some yard sales this past weekend. Boy, am I glad I did! Look what I found:
I have some bright, beautiful plans for this little lady! She doesn’t have a name yet, but she had two sisters that I’m regretting leaving behind. They couldn’t all fit in my car, but I DID get the phone number of the lady hosting the yard sale. I think I’m going to call her up and see if they went unsold. As much as I try to tell myself we don’t have the space, I can already see that refinishing furniture is something I NEED to do. It’s just calling me!
Now to find some fabric…

I like the design of this chair. It looks comfortable.
Hi Jennae! Just wanted to say how much I LOVE your blog, I’m moving to Toronto by the end of the year and it’s been wonderful to read your posts to get a clearer idea of how to have a greener home. Thank you for your fresh perspective and great ideas.
Isabel, thank you so much for your kind words! Hearing from readers like you who are truly getting a benefit from my work really makes it all worthwhile. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!
yes–call her up and go get them!
Dayka, my only issue is figuring out where to store them! The one I have is in a temporary spot in our master suite, but I have no space for the others. And we really don’t need the additional expense of a storage unit — but I’m definitely thinking about it
love the chair! great find. what are you thinking of recovering it in?
Alison, I haven’t really decided yet, but one of the first things that came to mind is one of Daisy Janie’s fabrics: http://www.greenyourdecor.com/3945/mood-create-daisy-janie-organic-fabrics/
Really nice chair, looks like you got lucky there.
