She cleaned up quite nicely with fabric cleaner.
I don't remember why I was in a flea market days before moving. Must have been an escape from packing.
Never go to a flea market or thrift store when:
-you don't want to buy anything.
-you can't buy anything.
Murphy's law: you'll find the best bargain at that exact moment.
How could I even think about another piece of furniture to move?
This one wasn't so clean but I loved its soft curve. Even though both pieces had been recovered with the same fabric, I don't think they are original mates. Close enough.
I bought the chair first, went home, then returned the next day to buy the sofa- $55 after a bit of negotiating. A bargain is always justified right?
Hopefully re-upholstery will be done before my next move.
Thinking about the color.
I so love the peacock blue velvet.

Your little ladies' chair is delightful--and in such good shape. The couch will be fun to plan for. Yes and pillows make all the difference! I do like that blue ...
What a fine! It will look so good in the peacock blue velvet. Trish
Love that chair and so many choices for the sofa.
Oh how I love that chair, what a wonderful find... and such a good price.
hugs~~~ Daphne
I love the sofa and the way it curves. The last photo of the white sofa and the gold reminds me of my mother's style of furniture. Elegant!
I just LOVE that little chair...so charming. You have great ideas for the sofa, too. Before we moved across the country, my friends saw two robins egg blue lamps at a consignment store that they really thought I should buy...so I did...they just made it on to the moving truck. Eight years later and I still love those lamps!!
Those are great finds! Tough call on the sofa. I'd be most drawn to either neutral (which I love playing up with pillows and throws) or the dark grey velvet...so lucious!
I'd say that you snagged some great deals! I love the lines of the sofa ans the chair is so cute...way to go! :D
Wow, what a lovely chair. I bet the sofa is going to be beautiful too!
That's a perfect chair for the lady.
Wow those are great deals on some nice pieces. Love the lines of the sofa. You know the grey is a neutral, and might hide dirt better than cream.
I agree neutral will last longer if you should change your decor. I love your "lady" chair! You're lucky that it cleaned up so well. I bought a chair from a moving sale once and didn't have very good luck getting it clean. But, still love the chair and it was a bargain. Can't wait to see your sofa when it's recovered and set-up in your home.
WOW, that couch is a dream....I need a new one in my living room any of those would be perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing finds!!! the chair looks great, and i love the pillow.. ~Grace
Love the sofa and chair. What a deal. The sofa has great lines and has a lot of potential.Cant wait to see what your going to do to it and love how the chair came out.
Love the chair and I LOVE the lines of that couch. I can see why you would go back for it.
Oh what a classy little chair - great find!

That is a gorgeous chair and sofa and what great deals! I know what you mean, every time I go thrifting looking for something there's nothing, just browsing there's every goody I ever wanted lol.
Awesome! Yea for you!

I LOVE it. I think I would go with peacock blue on the couch. But you are right. Neutral always looks amazing.

P.S. I have another giveaway going on right now. Would love you to stop by and check it out.
What great furniture finds! I am curious to see what you will decide to do with the couch. I agree with your murphy's law as well...I always find the best things when I have no money! Thanks for becoming a new follower of my blog, I am now following you :)
All the best,
Rachel~
Love that chair! What a steal! I think you should go with the peacock blue if it makes your heart sing, if not, go with neutral + fun pillows. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing. Thanks for sharing.
That light gray leather couch is stunning. That chair is amazing. Surprised you could get it so clean. Love the gentle curve of the couch too.
What a lovely blog! And lovely furniture! Can't wait to hear what you chose...I personally love the peacock blue! Following along!
Hello sweet B,
Your little white chair is adorable!!! I love it. If your beautiful new couch doesn't clean up, I vote for white again, or grey velvet! I love the grey velvet couch that you showed above, how fabulous and elegant is that!?!?!
Love and hugs, Cindy
No way Tammy!!!!
You did not get those pieces for such GREAT DEALS!!! I am in shock and so jealous too!!!!
Wow! You did great.
I am smiling too... that house I am decorating has the same palette of colors you have described and shown.... peacock blue, taupe, cream and a mushroom mousy brown. These pictures are so inspirational to me.
Thanks for sharing this great post!

So many options Tammy! Love your sweet chair, such a classic style:-)

Great finds Tammy! Love them and can't wait to see what you do with the couch!!!
Those are great furniture finds! I'd keep it neutral, too.
Oh, I love the grey velvet lounge and also the white neutral ones. What a lovely blog you have. Have a great week Tammy! Leahxx
My goodness Tammy...I need to hit that flea market!! Outstanding deal on the chair and sofa...hope we see them over at NTT.
Blessings,
Linda
Can't wait to see the end result of your sofa, that color is banging good.

LOL -- that's something I would do (but maybe not buy something to recover since I've never done that!) I love the blue velvet but yes, the neutral does offer more options. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Wow!!! You did get a bargain. Incredible!!! I'm liking all your options, but most intrigued by the soft grayish color couch. You can't go wrong though, such great shape!!! I'm your newest follower!!!

WOW! Amazing finds...I can't wait to see what you do with the couch. What a bargain!
Happy Thanksgiving!
You are a lucky lady ~ what a score on both pieces! I love the classic lines and clean finish.
Can I come shopping with you :)
