A Recent Find: Bentwood Chairs

I've had an obsession with bentwood chairs for like ever and about 5 years ago I scored a black bentwood chair at a local consignment store for dirt cheap (see way below). They always look so effortlessly chic to me...

Now that I've got that out of my system, here's the simple bentwwod chair I bought years ago...


And here are 2 chairs that my parents found by the side of the road on trash day and which my generous sister-in-law let me have because they were originally given to her (thanks Heidi!)...


And here's what I scored on Craigslist for $50 last week...


No I currently don't have room for them and yes I have a wee bit of an obsession with chairs...I have 30 in my tiny cape-cod. My plan is to paint them all in the same color for my dream kitchen nook...a girl can dream right!?

      Too funny Cassie...I was thrilled when I saw them a few weeks ago, because I almost got them back in early Jan, but the day I planned on getting them was the day I had Max and the dude selling them called me the day I had him, to which I told him I couldn't pick up the chairs that day. So when I finally had the chance months later I was so happy they were still available. So thanks Cassie for not jumping on them and we'll see what color they end up.

    Lovely chairs - They are lucky to have you make them over (though I love them in black, already!)

    I feel your pain. I was forced to sale my chairs off because there was no more room for them!

    Still great score!

    I love them! I too am obsessed with chairs. Great score!

    I spy a faux bamboo mirror in the background. Is that yours? I have an exact same one that I scored on craigslist.

    P.S. I awarded you the Liebster blog Award!
