I went garage sale-ing with a friend this weekend and picked up something I needed and something I …”needed.” The thing I really needed was the desk I found to use as a sewing table. It was the perfect size and price and very solid and has a little bookshelf built into the side. It’s not great looking, but it’s not ugly and it actually spent its former life as a sewing table! Perfect.
The thing I didn’t know I needed until I saw it was this pair of wood folding chairs. The seller didn’t know where they came from but they remind me of theater chairs. Well, maybe “theater” is a bit generous. At the very least, they could have been used as seating in some gymnacafetorium for the school talent show or something. That’s vintage enough for me. I have no idea where I’ll put them, but they called out to me, so I’ll figure out that part later. I just think they’re super cool.
The pillow is from Appetite Home.
What a great find! Those are awesome & I too immediately thought of theater seating or church seating.
those are rad. one can never have enough chairs!!!!
They are gorgeous. I love them.
okay…love these!!
oh they are super cute!! i love that pillow too!!
Nice score! I love that feeling – seeing something and just knowing it has to come home with you AND being able to make it happen. I ended up going on Friday to a few and got a few good things. Passed up on a cast-iron Lodge Dutch oven…stubborn about the price. Regretting it now. Live and learn.
Those are a great find!
I love the chairs, I wish I could find a new set like that for my new dining room table!
Love the chairs
These chairs are from a school! I attended elementary school in the 60’s and went to a very old school. These chairs were standard issue for assembly seating before schools had built-ins. They were folded up and placed in a metal coral while not in use. Before the Christmas shows or choral nights, the janitors would take them out and line them up. They made a nice clapping sound when they were folded up later. Very cool to own these now.
