2 new chairs for the new house

Pretty much since I was in 5th grade I have loved watching HGTV and dreamt of having a home to design and decorate one day. 

And now that we are in the market to buy a home, my decorating desire in in hyperactive overdrive. 

We've found a house that we LOVE, a house we could grown into with lots of possibilites and potential, but it's at the very top end of our budget we we're pondering in for a week and then we'll decide if we want to procede with it. 

(I'll keep you updated :))

Anyway, I've been wanting to have my grandma's chair reupholstered for a long time now, and we just had it redone in preparation for our future new home. 

The before:


And the after:






I still need to refinish the legs, and I'm going between a couple of options. 

1. Lacquered in black

2. Lacquered in white

3. A lighter stain

4. Or a fun color like a mustard yellow

Thoughts?

And the other new chair was a an amazing thrift store find. 

A tufted leather chair for $75.




The seat was a little dry, but I've been using some leather conditioner and it's working like a charm. 



I almost offered more for the chair, but then I came to my senses and counted it as an amazing blessing from the thrifting gods. :)
