With a few minutes to spare last week I popped into my favourite Salvos store for just a quick look around. I usually walk out with a few doilies or some kind of old glass dish or enamelware but today there didn't seem to be much on offer and as I wandered up the last aisle, there it was . . Well, I just about fell over when I saw it, my heart pounded and I knew it was mine, there was no way I was walking out without this beauty...
The Whole Set, 2 x Fully Reclining and Rocking Armchairs
and 1 x Reclining Two Seater Lounge
In Immaculate Condition! $$$ Bargain !!!
It's VERY GRANNY I know and I didn't quite know how the rest of the family would accept it, it's a 'You'll either LOVE it or Hate it' kind of Buy.... Well I Just LOVE it of course , I have been waiting for something like this to step into my life for a while now, My living room needed a face lift and this gives me a good base to work with!
Hubby wasn't to sure about it in the beginning but it 's growing on him...He's enjoying putting his feet up at the end of a hard day. . .
Fashion is so fickle! It looks great in your house...nothing wrong with a bit of granny style comfort!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that, my husband would love a couch that he could put his feet up on...I think it is great, and someone probably really loved it to keep it such good condition...hey, and with kids.!!!! A second hand lounge would be a godsend wouldnt it...and fabric to hide spills..I think its a winner and it seems to suit what you have in the background beautifully...well done to you...a great oppy find...x
ReplyDeleteJust love it! The fabric is similar to my quilt cover. You were so lucky to get the three pieces. Don't you just love op shops...great shopping.
ReplyDeleteI love it, I can imagine it would have taken some thought, thinking of how everyone else would take it. Glad you went with it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. It looks almost brand new. No doubt it is well made and if you ever do happen to want a different fabrick you could get it recovered.
ReplyDeleteI love it and the fact it reclines is like dream..hubby and i both want recliners but gosh they are pricey..you could make slip covers or even recover it yourself if hubby isn't keen on the retroness of it
ReplyDeleteThat is serious Op Shopping! Well done, it looks great and does look like it belongs.
ReplyDeleteGranny chic at it's finest! It looks very Frankie style. Looks great in your house.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your lovely comments, Glad everyone approves...Just got to hope the lovely children don't break the recliner arms now or rock the rockers off! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, love it, would love it in a re-cover too!
ReplyDeleteWow - that certainly is a bargain. I love it! I used to have a bedroom seat in a very similar pattern. Love the footstool bit. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would say it was too girly, but I definitely LIKE it! It is better than the daggy old one I am sitting on now lol!
