Well! I did not expect to find a wingback chair so soon, let alone two, but God graciously blessed us with these chairs over the weekend! We found them at a garage sale we happened to be driving by (looking for a different garage sale, incidentally). They are made by Broyhill, in very good shape, with no odors or stains or traces of bugs (shiver), and we paid less for the pair than ONE ratty old chair would cost at Goodwill! AND, even though I plan on slipcovering them, in the meantime they match our couch's upholstery really well. :) What a blessing.
So, the next steps are to take some thorough measurements in order to estimate yardage, and pick an upholstery fabric for the slipcovers. This latter task is not as easy as it sounds, as I am a pretty indecisive person. Douglas and I have discussed what colors and prints we like and hopefully we can find some kind of middle ground there, especially within our price range. I will keep you up-to-date as this project progresses!
I'm a 31-year-old Christian. My hope is to live a quiet life filled with home and hearth, family and friends, loveliness and simplicity. I'm wife to Douglas (married October 2008) and mother to Edmund (born November 2009), Lavinia (born May 2012), and Rosamund (born February 2014).

WOW! Those were a garage sale find?? Fantastic. Their appeal is further enhanced by the handsome little gentleman! He looks like he's thinking some deep thoughts in his new wing chair.

Lovely seating! Where did you place the couch?
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteSinging River, I guess you haven't been here for a visit since we re-arranged! The couch is where I was sitting when I took the photo. The back of the couch acts as an extension of the hallway wall, creating more of a division between the living area and the dining area. The two other large bookcases are on the west wall (that was formerly yellow in color). Douglas came up with this arrangement last fall and I love it this way!! Now that boy has some good ideas... ;-)
Beautiful chair! I love finding good deals at garage sales.
ReplyDeleteI love them just the way they are!! Great find!
