OOOPS I DID IT AGAIN...

I always thought my 'thing' for chairs wasnt THAT bad....surely 40 or so chairs is not too many...??? Is it ???
Well anyway i never dreamed it would get so bad that it would extend to something LARGER in the chair department....Im talking LOUNGES/SOFAS/COUCHES...whatever you like to call them. Im calling them UH OH's from now on.

UH OH because when you see a gorgeous ole lounge on Ebay for $25.00 and your hubby says JUST BUY IT... you do....knowing full well you have NOWHERE to put it...But hey, when has that ever mattered before??

MAYBE i shouldnt have bought it.....but how could i not??? Me and vintage, pretty, lovely, gorgeous old lounges...well we BELONG TOGETHER.
See for yourself.




See what i mean? I HAD TO HAVE IT...didnt i. It belongs in my front room.
Well i blame Shane anyway, he said BUY IT.
So now we have 5 lounges...including one currently sitting in the middle of my kitchen..LOL.
What did you say?? Sell one? SURELY YOU ARE PULLING MY LEG!
I will work it out...i always do.

So then i took the flowers that were twisted around the back on the other lounge and put them on my standard lamp.

Pretty huh? My super talented MUM made that lamp shade for me, aint it gorgeous! I loooove it.
Speaking of lamps...look at this gorgeous fabric i got to re-cover the big shade for my other standard lamp in the Family Room.

Isnt it beautiful! I cant wait to get it done.

Ok so im off now....to re-arrange lounges (again) and maybe get started on that lamp and some customer orders too.
Should keep me off the streets for a while ! LOL.

See you Friday for some Friday Flea Market pretties!

Love and Pink Kisses,
Shann xx

Shann,
What's another chair between family or friends. You can't expect people to stand can you? lol! I don't see a problem at ALL!!

I see that the talent runs in the family!!! Do let your mother know that she did a wonderful job!

Nice to have a second (human) voice encouraging you to buy something.. Not little voices in your head.. lol!!

I know what you mean who can turn a good couch down and such a bargin.
Maybe our husbands need to form a support group for husbands of wives who have 2 many chairs and paint everything white group and who make cakes that you can't eat. or something like that:)
We have heaps of lounges but I seem to have more arm chairs than I need:)
And that lamp sooo pretty.

Katrina said...

You know how to find some great bargains! That would look great in my bedroom in my new house so I will be keeping my eye out!!!

Kerryanne @ Shabby Art Boutique said...

Hi Shan,
I have the perfect solution for your lounge fetish - start pleading with hubby for a bigger house OR if you keep collecting chairs he will just do this anyway so he can escape the shabby pink things taking over his house...LOL

Can't wait to see the finished lamp shade.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
