Frenchy Chair Loving


Those of you who have been following me for awhile now know that I just love anything French/French Country. I am on a mission to make our home into a french chateau on a SAHM budget.
I have been dreaming of bringing home some frenchy chairs like these. I just have not ever been able to come to terms with the prices everybody was wanting for these fabulous pieces.

Every time I see one my heart goes pitter pat. This particular chair was $399! I LOVED the toile fabric on it. 

I was on a mission and have been to look at several frenchy chairs that have been on the local yard sale site but they all have been really little like this one. A true antique but I was wanting functional ones not just pretty ones.
Well a few weeks back I went to look at something I saw again on the local yard sale site. While I was there I also saw something I just HAD to have.

I actually had caught a glimpse of it in the background of the picture of the item I was going to pick up. The lady was moving across country and was selling pretty much everything.

She told me she was not parting with these beautiful chairs. Well I went back to see her the next day to decide on whether I wanted a few of her decorative items.

Well Ms. Cathy was a sweetie and agreed to sell me not one but BOTH of her fabulous chairs!! I was giddy to say the least. As I counted out the last of my rainy day stash I told her it pained me to give it all to her. She laughed and said well then we were even cause it pained her to be selling um!;) Ms. Cathy was such a delight to chat with. I plan on changing out the dark suede fabric eventually. I just have to find that must have fabric. Come back tomorrow to see where they ended up in our home.

Before I go thank you to everybody for your sweet sweet comments on the little hallway into our guest bedroom! You make me smile!;) I appreciate the loving!
