I saved the best for last

... from my fabulous finds of the day on Saturday that is. See this chair? The fabulous chair in the perfect shades of robin's egg blue with the perfect lines in the perfect size? Uh huh, that one. I got it...for $40 last Saturday!
My dining room is very long, with a fireplace (oh yes! I love this about the dining room!) that is about 3 feet off center in the room, causing the end of the room by the French doors to have a "gaping hole" effect with nothing down there.
I knew I wanted to put a chair in that spot, but it would have to be just the right sized chair (and with my non existent budget, it would have to be incredibly cheap) hopefully in a decent colored fabric, ( 'coz who knows when I could ever afford to slip cover it)
When I spotted this chair I was sure it was perfect, and I was also sure it was priced out of my range. (I was guessing it was about $150 at the very least)  When I saw the price I was positive that I was not seeing it correctly, (sometimes without my glasses I can mistake a "1" for part of the dollar sign...mm hmm) so I put on my glasses, and double checked.  I was seeing it correctly! Sold!
We brought this beauty into the house and couldn't believe the perfect fit. In fact, now that I look at this picture I am realizing that everything in this picture is thrifted. The chair, the stack tables, the lamp, the books, the teapot, the birdcage, the pillows. And I love it all!
Now I have the perfect spot to sit and read the paper or whatever on Sunday mornings, just to the side of the fireplace, with a perfect view out the doors to my charming backyard. *sigh* Oh yes, I like it quite a lot.
