I know I’m late to the party!! This is the first time I’ve ever joined a party and I’m late. http://thepolohouse.blogspot.com/ I know I don’t have it linked correctly, I’ll work on how to install it the proper way…I promise. Back to the party. This party is about favorite chairs. I thought, Hey I can do this one!!! So on with the show. The above chair I found at Habitat For Humanity for $10.00! That was before I hauled it to the guy how does upholstery work at the antique mall where I have my small booth. After I paid him then found this lovely little pillow that cost about as much as the upholstery job I have a lovely little chair. Make sense to me. Lets move on….
Now this chair I found at Goodwill. It’s was marked $8.00! I said YES!!! Then I found some Ralph Lauren fabric and again lugged it out to my trusty upholstery guy. Lets just say when I come to check on my booth he always comes by to say Hi….he may just want to see if I need something either refinished or reupholstered but I prefer to think he just likes chatting with me. I have to say he’s made every chair, that’s been falling apart, very comfy and attractive.
That brings us to this little chair. Yes I found this at a local thrift shop too. It was love at first sight. I know it has seen better days but I love the fact the wood is so worn on the arm rests. The seat also needed to be recovered but I actually was able to handle that job. Then I fell in love again!!
When I saw this one across the room I knew this cutie was coming home with me! It didn’t matter that MBP would need to glue it back together and it’s so dainty no one can ever sit on it! Who needs function when you have beauty? Hmmm I’ll need to remember that line when I don’t feel like cooking. I mean look at this!
So you don’t think I drag all my chairs home from reject aisles I’ve included this chair. I recently bought this chair to go in the corner of our bedroom…. NEW!! MBP was thrilled. Coco was devastated. She loved the old chair. You can’t please everybody. We’ve had a talk reminding her she is a DOG so she can deposit her hair in her own dog bed and like it.

Kathy,
I need to visit your state and have you show me where you shop. Honestly, the first two chairs are fabulous and the price for each is unbelievable. I have a chair very similar to your dainty chair, it sets in the guest room because I don’t want just anyone sitting on it, although I’d guess it’s more durable than it looks. Finally, the new chair is great looking too…we bought Madison a little bed at Target that fits nicely in the chair she likes. It keeps the hair to a minimum.
Great chairs.
Karen
Oh thanks so much for the information Karen. I have a dog bed in the breakfast room and one in the loft. I need one more for the bedroom. I’ll check out Target. Oh brother, these dogs have the life. Thank you for your kind words! A tour of my home takes about 2 minutes, 1 if you don’t blink.
Warm Regards,
Kathy
Nice chairs, Kathy! I am always drawn to chairs with some interesting details to them, too, whether it is the legs, the shape of the back, etc. Love your last one pictured.
Thank you. If I had more room I would probably have quite an assortment of unusual chairs. I think it’s the legs on chairs that really grabs my attention.
Oh my heavens!!!!
You did NOT find these from bargain shops! I just cannot even believe anyone would ever part with ANY of them!
You did a wonderful job finding fabrics for them to be recovered also.
Lovely selections!
I am in love with each and every one of them, but the one with the turned out arms in the RL fabric is probably my most favorite.
WOW!
You are one lucky treasure finder!

Let me know if you need a little help in how to link up to a party.
I am so happy to help you, Kathy.
Thanks so much. Sometimes I hit jackpot! It’s nice finding the old chairs that are smaller. Our home isn’t that large….okay it’s tiny…so large scale furniture isn’t an option. Thank you for the offer. I just might be asking for your assistance 🙂
Best,
Kathy
All those chairs are so beautiful! I am in love with the one in the last photo!
Thank you! I love all the furniture in your home.
