Hi, my name is Ana and I'm a Chairaholic. I have a problem. I just can't seem to say no to a chair. After buying a tulip(ish) chair off of Craigslist on Monday I went out again yesterday and bought another, then one-upped myself and bought a table.
See the issue? Five chairs and two tables in my tiny ass dining room. What the hell is wrong with me? Yesterday was the rainiest day in months. It was pouring and that's the day I decided to drive 40 miles to pick up that adorable aqua chair and everyone's favorite knock-off table the Docksta from Ikea. The idea of a $180 table for $40 will do that to me. I can't pass up a deal. It can be scary to watch Hoarders and think how easily that could be me. I'm so thankful for my husband for many, many reasons. Him keeping my chair addiction in line is just one of them.
The conditions on which I could buy these chairs were simple. Since my Birthday is approaching I was allowed some leniency and as long as I got rid of the old table and two chairs I was in the clear (according to him). So out with the old, in with the new(ish). Here's where the subtraction come in:
Out went the Bamboo veneer pair of chairs and in came a new aqua chair, the old aqua chair and staying are the two mustard chairs. I need to find a similar base for the old aqua chair, I keep trolling Craigslist and Ebay. I'll find it one day. Soon precious, soon.
Since I couldn't decide which picture to show you here's another:
Bruce is almost camouflage isn't he? Why are cats such camera whores?
It's interesting you have those curtains because I have the same DOCKSTA table with a tablecloth on it in the same pattern as your curtains. How funny. I can see how hard it is to say no to those chairs. They look so cute with the table!
