Cats
I have been searching Craigslist for a wing chair to recover, and stumbled on this… I know I have been gone, once again, and I come back with this, but I couldn’t resist. I feel like if anyone could appreciate this, it would be fellow design lovers/Craigslist searchers.
The Listing: 3 Ethan Allen upholstered chairs for $40 each or best offer: 1 large wing chair (42hx32wx30d) about 12 years old and pair of tufted back stylized wing chairs (35hx30wx30d) which are about 17 years old.
All three were clawed by a cat and I have glued matching fabric over the spots. On the pair of peach chairs the repair is not truly noticeable but on the soft green wing chair the repairs are visible.
None have seen a lot of “sitting” time so they are in good shape.
I think they may have come up with a new way to “repair” furniture…
In other news, we are actually moving forward with the kitchen now and are searching for ranges. There is a KitchenAid that we really like, but it seems to have mixed reviews. Does anyone have any experience with this one? Or know any secrets that we need to know about buying appliances. We only need to get the range, hood, and possibly microwave…
i’ve missed you!!! not just your blog…in real life. as far as kitchen stuff goes, if you’re willing to splurge on a microwave, i LOVE the one we used in our kitchen re-model. it’s a GE profile advantium 120 and doubles as an oven, so it’s like having a double oven, plus saves energy over an oven if you’re cooking something that will fit in there. definitely worth the extra money in the long run!
