I wonder.
What would have YOU done?
While headed home from Michigan late yesterday afternoon,
a garage sale sign caught our attention.
We slowed down on the country road (Amish territory) and entered the lane.
My husband saw them first.
Four chairs.
A little worse for the wear, but "solid as rocks"!
$1 each.
With two in the back seat
and two in the trunk - open, of course - steadied by bungie cords,
we traveled the rest of the way home.
Here they are.
Safely in our garage - awaiting a decision.
Seriously. What would have YOU done?
Are you kidding?? I would have stopped for them too. They will be great as soon as you and Gary give them some loving care. And please share photos. They would be nice painted or re-stained.
ReplyDeleteIf we DO paint or stain them....We're thinking of re-sale :)
DeleteI see your hubby will have a project for a few days! They look worth money for sure. I love chairs.
ReplyDeleteI probably wouldn't have been able to resist either. At $1 a chair you could resell them to a antique dealer if decide not to refurb them! x
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts exactly, Vix :)
DeleteThose chairs? $1 each? You has no choice but to buy them. You did good!
ReplyDeleteI would probably have done the same as you, Rebecca. Haul them home, refurbish, then re-sell! Good work! Susan p.s. Thanks for the birthday wishes! And the visit to my blog and comment, too. Appreciated all.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...we don't have deals like that here...and I am needing dining room chairs. Way to go...I can't wait to see them redone
ReplyDeleteI am looking for sets of two to put around our table...a different set per married couple
We had chairs like that at our kitchen table when I was a kid. Very sturdy.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, no matter what you choose to do with them.
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately would have passed them up...I do not have the refinishing talents you guys do.
