3 good reasons


I have been told that I have too many chairs so I need a really good reason to buy another one. When I spotted this 50s plywood chair in a local junk shop I had to have it because:
a. I love its old school shape b. someone has taken the time to glue an old OS map to it and c. on closer inspection the map is of the part of South Wales where my husband was born and brought up. Good enough reasons I think!

  8. Freaky I should stumble across you, right now! My fingers are still frosty from a wintry couple of hours spent outside de-upholstering an old roadside find chair, plotting what I'm going to stick on instead...

  9. Jumping in on the serendipity of chair love. I just came home with 2 old wooden beauties from the thrift store tonight. (They're hiding in my car at the moment-ha!) I knew I shouldn't buy any more, but who can resist...yours is especially lovely!
