Hello, my name is Abby and I am addicted to crappy furniture.
 |
| Free from a friend. Started to paint it. Changed my mind on the color. Started sanding it off. Gave up. |
 |
| $50 from Craig's List. |
 |
| My great grandma's recovered/restored rocking chair. A bit more expensive, but a gift to us from my in-laws. |
UPDATED to add this from my mom:
The rocking chair is from your great, great grandmother Jackson. She probably rocked her baby girl in it in 1900 when your great grandma Lett was born.
 |
| I have a pair of these. $70 from Craig's List. Not recovering either one. |
 |
| Chair on the left: free from Matt's grandma. Chair on the right: $35 from an antique store in Michigan (was originally $125 but I'm a master bargainer). Not recovering either one. |
 |
| Free chair from Matt's grandma. I paid $90 to have it recovered and I painted it. |
 |
| These came in a set of nine chairs. For a total of $10, and two of my friends took two each. So these chairs were $1.50 each. I love them. |
 |
| Antique store in Van Wert, Ohio for $40. Not recovering or painting. I love it. |
There you have it. I love crap. I don't get mad when it gets dirty. I don't feel bad re-selling it later (which I have done numerous times, never for less, and sometimes more, than what I bought it for).
Also, in case you couldn't tell, I wanted you to see my house au naturale, with baby dolls, computers, blankets and other various objects everywhere.

I want.
Like, pretty much all of them. But especially the fourth one down and the yellow one.
I, too, like junk.
Do you still want the 2 person chairs? I failed miserably at getting the chairs from you... If you still want to swap, I can bring it some time this week...while we're at it, we could hang out again.
Forgive my group comment-I'm so far behind...but love that you got to go to Michigan and how fun for your girls to get to play with cousins and aunts and uncles...and i LOVE that yellow chair! I would like you to come shop with me. We need a kitchen table and Craigslist is not being nice to us. IN conclusion, your girls are so so cute. And I love the clinging to your leg pic-and I'm so glad you've had some good family time this summer!
The rocking chair is from your great, great grandmother Jackson. She probably rocked her baby girl in it in 1900 when your great grandma Lett was born. Thought you'd find it interesting!
Love you!
