After the move we have gone to the thrift stores a lot. Our main goal has been to find a dining table (which we did) but have also looked for other furniture too. If one was looking, it would be easy to find a nice desk or sofa or coffee table at a reasonable price. Unfortunately the coffee tables we have run into have been too large for our livingroom. One time at the local thrift store we took pictures of interesting chairs with my camera phone because we didn’t have the need to buy any of them.

Arm chair that needs fixing Orange arm chairs

Here are two armchairs which both appealed to us. Chair on the left is beautifully shaped but it would have needed new upholstery. Chair on the right was really interesting and the wooden tops of the arm rests were a nice detail. If we had been after a pair of armchairs, the colour (deep orange) would have stopped us from buying these.

Desk chair Chair

Simple office chair on the left reminded us of school days. The legs are made of steel and the seat and the back of veneer. The dining chair on the right wasn’t really our style but the wooden parts are really beautiful.
