On my endless search to find thrift shops just like the ones Eddie Ross frequents (meaning fabulous, with LOTS of great finds), I always stop to check out any that catch my eye. Yesterday, one got me!
Speaking of endless, my Wednesday was absolutely ridiculous! It was long; meeting after meeting, class after class, up until about 7PM. Seven in the PM! I am a teacher! I was there at 7AM. Geez. Anyhoo, I did actually have some time to leave the school for about an hour to get some dinner and find any way to entertain myself while I waited for my next meeting. Guess what I did? Yup. Nice to meet you "Good Stuff." Isn't that a cutie name for a thrift store? Well, just as I arrived at their store, they locked the doors on me. They even put a chair in the way in case my thuggish persona decided to attack. Since I couldn't make it in, I made sure to do some window shopping. What did I see? Lots of good stuff. Actually, maybe, not that much, but two good things for sure. As I walked away, so sad and freezing, I decided I would have to return the next day.
Look at what I got today!
Retro-fabu-licious
Now, the question. If you look closely, one of the wood parts between the legs has what looks like bite marks. Bad doggies (not ours, obviously). Other than that; which, I'm planning on sanding off, the chair is in great shape. My initial thought was to simply change the seat fabric, but now I'm wondering if I should paint the whole thing for a fun look. I don't have any particular fabric in mind, but I want something with a large print. If I do go with the paint option, I'm thinking marigold, some kind of orange or white. Alrighty ladies and gents, what to do? Give me your expert opinions.
