My Amazing Score!
I can’t believe it…I actually have two matching chairs for my living room! I know you are asking yourself, what is the big deal? It actually is for me. I’ve wanted a matching set of chairs for my living room for years but they just were not in the budget. I’m also picky and had an idea of what I wanted (ahem, Pottery Barn). Yes, champagne taste on a beer budget!
You can imagine my delight when I walked into a local thrift store and saw this pair. They are brand, spanking new. They are clean as a whistle and slipcovered (perfect for the dogs) in a neutral color. They look like Pottery Barn and are exactly what I’ve wanted for years. Best of all? I got them for $50 each! Oh, yeah baby. $100 for the pair! I’ve attached a pic of the price in case you don’t believe me! They were discounted even more from the ticket price. Incredible. Christmas came early to Suz!
I’ve attached a TON of pics to share as I am giddy with my score. I’ve also attached a few of the adjoining dining room all decked out for Christmas. Here goes!
Lucky is enjoying his Christmas sweater 🙂 I’ll have a simple craft to share tomorrow!

Great job!!!! I love finding a good deal too. Your house looks beautiful decorated of Christmas. Congrats
Thank you, Shari! Love a good deal 🙂
What a find!! Congratulations! If I’d been there Id’ve arm wrestled you for them.
Your house is looking great.
Thank you, Mary! I think I would have won that fight lol! I wanted those so much I actually drove the first one home, unloaded it by myself and drove straight back for the second. Still not sure how I managed to get it out of my car lol!
Love them. What a great find. Congratulations.
Thanks, Gail! They do rank up there as one of my all-time best buys!
Wow! The thrift store Gods were looking after you!! Great score!

Hi Annie! Yes, apparently they do lol! Thanks!
Wow!! Unbelievable! No fleas or anything??!!
Hi Linda, Oh, no fleas! LOL I know, right? I typically don’t buy soft furnishings at thrift stores but these are brand spanking new. Unbelievable!
Oh my gosh! I love, love, love them! They are exactly what I want for my living room too. How lucky you were to find them! I want to shop your thrift store!
Hi Pam! Believe me, this was not a typical thrift store find! Just really my lucky day 🙂 Thanks!
Perfect…..what a steal! I need some just like them. You are blessed! Enjoy!
Hi Mary, Yes, they were quite a steal! I’m telling you, Christmas came early 🙂
Suzanne, your house looks ggrrreat! Your chairs are nothing short of miraculous! They’re also a nice return on the investment you’ve made of years of trolling thrift stores for paintable furniture—casual shoppers, take a seat! Still, incredible find, and no wonder you’re giddy! Congratulations!
Thanks so much, Louise! They are quite miraculous and yes, a great return on my investment of time spent scouring thrift stores near and far! Hope you have a great score of your own soon!
