You will not believe this.


Hey, remember the ugly dentist office chairs? I wanted a pair of wing backs to reupholster and replace them. I found these low, square side chairs at an estate sale instead. Guess how much? (Is this tacky? It can't avoided. I have to tell you.) No, really, guess. You'll never guess low enough, so I'll just tell you. $20 each. Yes. I'm not joking. $20. Even if you count the Lowe's steam cleaner rental, that still is less than $40 for each one.



They could be reupholstered at a later date, but I kinda like the blue. It works with the art, and I like it with the black, white, and avocado in there already.



Which pillow should I put on them? Big Green Geometric Trellis?



Or should I make covers out of a smaller rectangular black, white and green chevron fabric and leave Big Green on the couch?

I can't believe your score! They look so great there. I was just thinking your living room looks so grown up! Sometimes I think my decor is stuck in college.

Anyhow, I vote for the petite pillows with the chevron fabric. I like the scale and the black tie-in.
