I've been looking for a new rocking chair for our living room. I wanted a upholstered one with a cottage/country feel in blues and yellows. When I started looking I found prices from 500-900 to get even close. Not in my budget right now, so I turned to Craig's list.
The Craig's list around here is pretty slim pick ins so I aimed for the Twin Cities. Well, I found it in a consignment shop. It looks brand new and the price tag was in my budget. $189.00. I just had to talk hubby into fetching it with me. Well he is a good sport and he likes to save money so off we went. We had to tie it into the trunk of our Mercury Sable. No small feet but Hubby and my Brother Matt who lives near there, got it done. I think it works well in my cottage/country living room. Thanks for stopping, Cindy

ReplyDeleteI love the chair! I have stuffed our house with furniture. My husband has said no more furniture!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your heading...No tablescape but I have a chair...very cute! And talking about cute the chair looks great...I love that type of rocker....and isn't it amazing what you can get into the back of a car when a bargain is involved....
