Buying for a House You Know You are Selling
So I kept a little part out of my living room reveal because I was a bit embarrassed….
Ahhh!!! The dreaded BARE wall!! That and the fact that it still needs another coat of paint cause I ran out and have been lazy and too cheap to buy another gallon! (I did just get some though to spruce it up before the sale:)
So anyway, sometimes even myself who loves to decorate…runs into problem areas. I initially thought of doing another gallery wall in here, but once we brought the armoire in I knew it just wouldn’t look right. Too busy! Then we found out we were selling and I didn’t want to put any more time or money into it…but I did know of a piece that I have had my eye on that I wanted even for the new house.
She’s a beaut isn’t she?? I found this cutie at IKEA, and orginally thought I would love to replace my dog chewed, cheap k-mart
beautiful black chairs in the kitchenette area. Only problem?? At $80 a pop it would cost me $320 for the set. Now some may think this is cheap for a set of chairs…and it is if you look for new ones, but for a girl that is sometimes too thrifty, that’s a huge dent in my budget. Ha, who am I kidding, there is no budget for extras. So, I used some of my hard earned garage sale money and decided to splurge on one. For now it could be used in my problem area…and in the new house, possibly a desk chair, at least until I’m able to purchase the other 3! So, here she is in her glory now…
Since it’s actually a dining chair it was the perfect size to not take up too much room, you know how that goes over with the hubby:)
Still a little bare above it…but not gonna worry about that for the 3 weeks we have left:)
Now if only I could afford 3 more:)
So, someday in the near future you may see it used in a different way…and that’s why I love pieces like this:)
P.S. For all of you garage sale fans out there, I am a part of another one! I found a few more things cleaning out closets:) My sister is having one right off of Hwy 12 in Dassel. Just turn north by the mushroom hut and follow the signs, its only 1/2 mile off 12 and has great name brand clothes, womens, boys 0-4T, girls 0-2T, and household goods, furniture…little bit of everything! It’s a great sale, you don’t want to miss it! It’s open tonight from 3-6, and thur-sat.
