stop the press...

I have two other posts that are half complete but I just can't not share this with you now!

I have had to stop the press to show you this instead!

I got this gorgeous lounge the other day.

A girlfriend and I went to an op shop after an SRE course on Friday, 

I was looking at some chairs that another friend had alerted me to that I had been looking for.

We looked at them, but there were six and I really only wanted two - they didn't want to split the set, and because I am overflowing with furniture until VCH builds my shed I was reluctant to buy the six even though they were a decent price, I said I would think about it.

But while we were there we also saw an absolutely gorgeous old lounge with rattan sides and lovely curved legs,

 it was beautiful and I loved it, 

but I am no upholsterer and not much of a sewer either, 

so after a bit of deliberation I also left it there.

Monday I was going about my business when I got a phone call from a potential client, 

who would be wanting quite a few things and possibly a lot of chairs.

This led me to start to rethink whether or not I needed those chairs.

Bright and early Tuesday morning I hotfooted it into the op shop knowing that there was a good chance they were still there as they are shut on Monday's.

Yes they were! 

 I bought the six and then had coffee with my friend at the coffee shop attached and we debated about the lounge and debated and went and had another look, 

I rang VCH and asked if he would pick it up for me and after he said yes I paid for it.

How much you ask?

$35 

Yes you heard me right for the whole set, a three seater lounge and the two chairs.

VCH couldn't bring them home on Tuesday because he had a delivery to do, 

but they came home on Wednesday night and I took some photos yesterday.

So after my ramble I suppose you want to see the photos...

 ta da!!!!

 The fabric is quite worn, 

but the rattan is in perfect condition.

Now I just have to take for heart in my hands and actually sew some new slip covers, I am just waiting to see if my new clients want it and if so I will paint it up how they want, if not I am thinking soft grey paint and white slip covers.
