I'm a tad in love with TJ Maxx. My friend Sally and I went this weekend while I was in Valdosta to look around and I couldn't help but ooo and ahh over their chairs. I love a good chair. I have always had a little reading corner in my bedrooms and I think they add a lot to a room. Especially if they are antique or covered in a fun fabric.
My bedroom is brown, blue, and pink. This would be perfect in my reading corner! |
The back! |
If this isn't cute, I don't know what is. The seat lifts up and doubles as extra storage space. |
My first two years in Valdosta, I lived in an apartment that was fully furnished. When I moved into another apartment that wasn't, I had to bite the bullet and buy furniture. I visited an anitque shop in Perry where I found a chair with tons of character but was covered in awful fabric from what looked like the 1970's. I bought the chair for $125. My mom and I took a trip to Hancock Fabrics and found some cute pink and green floral fabric and piping on sale and had it covered. I was able to get the fabric for $6/yard and paid $100 to have it covered. I love the way it turned out! Buying a chair and having it covered can be expensive but I felt it was so worth it in the end. It added the perfect touch to my college bedroom! This rescue story has a sad ending though. I have changed the colors in my room and it would stick out like a sore thumb if I were in there. It now sits, covered, in our garage. :( It's so cute though, I can't part with it or re-cover it. Maybe one day I will have use for it again.
My love. |

So comfy! Wish it still matched my room! |

This is a chair I found at Dutchman's in St. Simons. I wanted to bring it home so bad! Isn't it cute?! My camera was dead at the time I took this so I had to use my phone. The quality isn't that great but it gets the idea across! :)
Love at first sight!! Another TJ Maxx goodie! If I had my own house, I would have snatched these up to use in my dining room. They would be so fun and lively!
Hi Katie. That is a sofa table and I think I have it priced at $85.00. Yes, it would be cute as a desk. I also have 2 other desks I think will be coming in tomorrow or Wednesday. I have never shipped anything that big but would be happy to look into it.
