Good morning all! I hope you had a fantastic week.. It’s hump day and I’ve got something to show you. You know how I keep joking there’s a thrift fairy that floats around me, but seriously….I’m really starting to believe it’s true. Patience is truly a virtue. I’ve been looking for a chair for my office space ever since I completed it (you can see the transformation here) I’d been contemplating recovering the chair I’m using but had to face it.. it was too big, however, since I had it around, I’ve been using it until the right one came along. I needed a chair that wouldn’t eat alot of space and yet be comfortable. I visited my sister in Jersey this past week and was itching to get to a Goodwill. Well we chucked on down to one in Springfield on Route 22.. and guess what I found as soon as I walked in the door. YES!! The perfect chair. Ok.. I didn’t take the picture at Goodwill (battery died) but got it home and here is my Goodwill find.
I researched it and discovered it’s an Ikea Tobias chair that retails for $100.00.
The chair fits perfectly and it’s very comfortable. It makes my cozy little office space feel more open.
Well the absolute best part of it.. I paid $14.99 for it!!!
Lol!!! Yes! So, as I say, patience is a virtue.. eventually you’ll find what you’re looking for at the right price.
A total score!!!
You really ARE a kindred spirit of chairs! This one looks great in the space (such a cute use of closet space) and I loved reading about your other ones too.
Don’t know how I missed this post. The chair is right on! In ever way. Way to go!
I have these Ikea chairs for my dining room, I think they are now $79.99. We love them.
NO KIDDING you have a thrift fairy on payroll!!!! Girl, you scored like Willie Mays!!! This was a super, super find!!! It is perfect for the small space and totally stylish! Bravo for you!!
Decorators say to use glass or anything clear furniture when a space is small and this chair was truly perfect. I hadn’t seen your office before and I really like it. What a cool chair.
