Furniture Finds

In the last couple weeks I stopped at Savers to see if they had anything exciting, and sure enough I found 2 pieces of furniture that are going to look great once I am done with them.
I found a solid wood swivel office chair, which bears a remarkable resemblance to one I have been lusting after in the Pottery Barn catalog, but couldn't justify buying with a $399 price tag. Price of the one I found; around $20. Granted, it needs a coat of paint. I am going to paint it cream color and put a nice colorful cushion on it. You be the judge on how closely they resemble each other.



I also found a 1977 Thomasville nightstand. This needs a little more work than the chair, but it is a good quality piece of furniture, with all wooden dovetailed drawers and no missing pieces. I think I am going to paint this a cream color also and maybe even add some feet. Since it is quite big, it might even function as a side table. This piece was a steal at $6.
