chair whoreder

i can't stop.  it's sick.  i don't NEED more chairs...but i just can't let a good deal pass me by!  i need a garage.  i need a warehouse.  i need a job shopping for other people.  regardless, my chair obsession goes on and craigslist provides:
today's $40 score.  gold, velvety goodness in PERFECT condition!

i had my madre pick this one for me via fresno craigslist.  not too many folks looking for plycraft there but they sure are in LA so this baby will be for sale soon. 

since my other friends were taking up too much space in the living room, my beautiful falcon chair is now visiting us in the boudoir. 

and this of course isn't a chair, but it's my latest project via some great inspiration from chezerbey's bathroom.  we've been saving toilet paper rolls so i can make this.  it's got a way to go but i LOVE it. more to come on this one in the future...

dirty bird


she was a dirty chair from the wrong side of town when we first met.

craigslist was our connection.  her online profile looked much better than in person.  i offered less money.

i brought her home because i saw she had good bones and just needed a wash.  $25 later, she was a new woman.  

it's amazing what a little upholstery cleaning can do.

meet my new friends

these three brothers were found on my fav score site and all for a mere $40!! they are Kinetic chairs from Canada. all have the stickers on the bottom...praise allah...if i ever feel the need to sell them. but i'm not looking that direction. bent plywood goodness with that funky tinker toy base.

they can be connected together to create bench like seating...

or they can stand on their own...i'm planning on using them as some of the chairs at my dining room table.

oh...and on a mid-century furniture website i found, they go for $100 each.
can you say holler?!
