New Chair…

The husband and I have been shopping around for a dining room table and chairs. We set a budget and it was beginning to look impossible. Until today. We found a great white and natural wood table for a great price at a local furniture store! We were so excited. They had chairs that matched but they were really expensive and we knew we could find a better deal elsewhere. Last week we went to a cute little antique store that a friend of ours recommended. They had lots of fun chairs and funky furniture so we decided to go back today to look for chairs to go with our new table. I wanted 6 chairs, but I didn’t want them all to match. We lucked out and found this cute white chair and were able to buy 3 of them for the same price as one chair at the furniture store! Score! And we were able to pay cash for everything, which felt great. I am going to re-cover the seats to match our kitchen…when I get a chance. The table doesn’t arrive for 4 weeks, so I have some time! We still need 3 more chairs, but for now we will use 3 black chairs that we already have. We love mixing them together! Oh, and I guess you can see a little of our kitchen in the photo! I promise to post some pictures of the kitchen as soon as it is painted…which should be soon….I hope.
