I had to pick Will up from Granville this morning after he dropped his car off for a service. On our way to Maccas for breakfast we were passing through a particularly dodgy neighbourhood with lots of furniture on the street and I spotted a really funky chair! I was like "Oooh.. nice chair!" but didn't really think about stopping to get it. But during breakfast I couldn't stop imagining the chair in my house and seeing as it was only a couple of blocks back we went to pick it up!
:)What a great chair it turned out to be!! It has a pretty ugly cushion but that can always be changed and it's totally solid wood in a really nice stain (quite unusual for the dodgy neighbourhood from which it was liberated). The next challenge was fitting it in my little car, but the seats folded down in the back and the chair slipped in like a dream! Happy days! Although seeing as there was also a side table and a TV on the street I did think maybe someone had just moved their whole living room outside like that guy on the TV ad! So I was like.. "quick Will, grab it before anyone stops us!" Lol. They didn't, incidently, which was good cos they probably would have knifed us for stealing their chair, so is the nature of that neighbourhood!
How do you like the cute little purple cushions? (which go really well with my purple lamp!) Council Cleanup! HA!! I picked them up after Will and I had been for a run at the local park, threw them straight in the washing machine and now they're a feature in the lounge. Sweet as!! Lol.

Wow! Nice work there!
What great find! Cool chair and cushions! I'm so sad that Baulko council has now stopped council clean up - i loved it. Both for looking to see what everyone else had and for the chance to throw useless things on the footpath for other people (such as yourself!) to scrounge. I miss it! {sob, sob}.
