The Chair and Lamp

Here was the other part of our bargain findings...
the leather chair and retro lamp.

You can't quite tell the scale in this picture, but this lamp is HUGE! On the floor it stands close to the middle of my chest. I love it! The best part, which you can't tell in the picture, the internal part of the base lights up separately!

Three cheers for bargains!
HIP, HIP, HOORAY!

Side note, DIY dining chairs

So this is slightly off wedding topic, although not really having to do with our "nest". The soon-to-be and I were out hunting at this amazing store called Treasure Mart. It's a salvation store but only with furniture and decor. Imagine 3 stories of rummage and bargain bliss.

On the look out for dining chairs, we came across an entire set... for only $150! It's the danish style I'm in love with. It just needed a little spiffing up with upholstering the chair seats.

And VOILA!

Our new nesting grounds for meal time.
Can't wait to have a dinner party!

Isn't that great?! Easily can seat 6-8 with the leaf out (also one extra chair now sitting in our living room). I'll have to take a picture in the daylight tomorrow of the great leather chair and retro lamp we also found.

We had a couple other great finds for the wedding. Some candle holders and an awesome serving tray.

I love a good bargain shop!
