The Mister and I picked up our deal of the month, a set of wingback chairs for $50.00, this past Saturday. Tuesday, a set for $60.00 came available but were snatched before I saw the listing. Wednesday, I half heartedly checked Craigslist and there was the listing for a set for $50.00. I quickly called the owner and saw them that evening. Ron, their previous owner, told me that the chairs had been purchased to “fill the wall space” but rarely used because he preferred the couch. Ron was a doll and I was happy to take them off his hands. Here they are:
The Colonel seems to enjoy them. He personally welcomed the only two pieces of furniture sans dog hair.
I lucked out that they came from a smoke and pet free home and in such great shape. However, the color is not ideal. Therefore, I will be making a slipcover for them.
The Mister will be picking up Simply Slipcovers from the public library today. As you may know my sewing skills are pretty fresh, but the reviews on Amazon state that the book is good for beginners. I hope to have the slipcovers made in the new two weeks. Someone hold me to it. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
