After thinking about the chair all night and figuring out great locations to place it in my house, I came to my senses and rushed back to the store the next day. Lo and behold, the chair had been moved but was still for sale! I quickly sat down to test drive it again and refresh my memory.
The chair is definitely in great shape. The velvet is unmarred and the tufted buttons are all intact. Even the velvet on the back of the chair is clean and bright. I just can't believe that there is no pilling or rips anywhere! I also love the wood frame on this chair; it does have some scratches but that just adds to its character, right? :)
While I was poking around looking over the chair, a number of other shoppers stopped me and remarked on how great a deal the $25 chair was. I was getting thumbs-up's (and a couple of jealous looks) from the clerks and customers on my way out of the store!
I'm really happy with my purchase as it is a great accent chair that is functional and comfortable. A friend who stopped by the house yesterday called it "photogenic". It's definitely something nice to take pictures of!
Yaay! Definitely the right decision!
ReplyDeleteit's stunning! and that whole story sounds so, so familiar! ;) it would look great next to my couch.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you got it.
It looks beautiful! Worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteYou made the right choice! Jealous stares from me over here :) Following you from The Pyrex Collective. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeletehi! thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. You made the right decision, the blue chair look amazing and looks as good as new on the photos! I know I can't pass up the green velvet chairs when I saw them and I have to take them home with me that day...
ReplyDeleteAmazing find; I have chair envy! I am a vintage velvet blue chair hussy (have two, neither as nice as this)and this one def takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteI definitely would have given you jealous stares :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog about my similar chair and directing me here. I love your chair. I do that too, think about it and then rush back, but most of the time mine does not have a happy ending for waiting. Glad to meet you!
ReplyDeleteLovely! It's a steal for $25.oo an absolute steal! My grandmother had one like this and I've had my eyes open for one allot lately-enjoy its beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that everyone that comes over is totally drawn to this chair - kids, adults, you name it! It just has a certain appeal to it. I just love the colour so much and am so glad I picked this up last year!
