Thrifty Love {link party #36}

Friday, July 13, 2012

Hey friends, welcome back for this weeks Thrifty Love! Real quick, I have a giveaway going on through Sunday. Two winners will each get 2 Pretty Rose Necklaces. One for yourself and one for a friend! Come enter.

So check out what I picked up this week! Can you say awesome?! I have been wanting a vintage wooden office chair, and have passed up many because of condition. But this one only has a few minor issues. Mostly in that wicker seating area which I plan on doing away with anyway.

I would kind of like to see it white but cringe at the idea of painting over nice wood. Yucky wood or plywood fine, nice wood no! At the same time I dislike it as is so I'm thinking a colored wood stain. Have you seen the many colors now available? Or maybe a whitewash so you can still see the wood grain. And though I am kinda diggin' that two tone seat I am thinking that whole area from the white line forward will be cushy upholstery cause I need some cushy for my tushy lol!

 
So what color would you do it? Any thoughts? I'd love to hear them. Oh and guess how much? $6.75 out the door on sale day! Love sale day!

Last weeks features!

  1. Your chair is awesome! You're right, ours are very much alike but I must say, your two-tone seat is really cool. I hear what you're saying about painting over good wood. I'm feeling guilty about wanting mine white! I can't wait to see what you do to yours :)

  7. Great chair! I understand about not painting wood, yet I saw the coolest house tour on Apartment Therapy yesterday with similar chairs painted white, and they were amazing. It's here if you want to check it out: http://bit.ly/OAzwM4. ~heather

  9. Loving the desk chair. I probably wouldn't paint it at all. I still love the look of vintage wood and this looks great. However, I admit that I have loved painted would sometimes when I don't think I would. I haven't been much help.

  12. The wood on your beautiful chair is much too nice to paint. Paint would destroy such a wonderful piece.
