I stumbled across it on my way out of a Goodwill I had no intention of going into to. I guess it reminded me of two chairs my mom had when I was growing up...boxy, modern, low back, neutral.
Luckily, the trunk of my car was cleaned out, and there was a nice man that lifted it into the back for me. He said it wasn't heavy, just awkward, but when JP got home and helped me get it into the house, it sure enough took all our muscles to move it.
So....guess how much it cost? I asked the family the same question. JP got it right away. The kids took only three guesses. I was surprised because I loved it so much I would have paid double.
Anyway, it was $30!
It is the new favorite chair of everyone...especially kids with food in their hands. I shoo them away, but it doesn't help that it sits right near our kitchen table.
There's one key to any great Goodwill find. Fate. The right place at the right time. This chair was meant to be.
So do you love it as much as I do?

it looks fantastic in front of the fire place and your fireplace and mantle look great too.
Thanks, Maggie! Actually the mantle changes everyday because I can't figure out how I like it. Did you see the window up there? I'm thinking of painting it and hanging some different things in the little windows panes. Hope to see you over Christmas!
Looks like your mom's chair, probably IS your mom's chair. God works in mysterious ways! It was good seeing you and Juan Pablo and 2 out of 3 kids during the wedding weekend festivities!!!!
LUV IT!
What a great find! Which Goodwill was it? I can't believe it was $30!
It was the Alverser Goodwill, Darlene. You never know which one will have some good stuff.
