Vintage school chairs.

There’s something about vintage school furniture that makes me giddy.

 This version by Anthropologie with the vintage maps is really cool too.
I’ve been trying to get my hands on three chairs for my little men for the past two years.
People will pay a pretty penny for them too.
Somehow I attracted not 3 but 30!

It’s a bit of a silly story that requires some explaining.
I found a school auction that was selling some vintage pull down maps.
I was in a heated bidding war with some big spender.  I reached my limit and was out.
On a fluke I also put in a bid on two lots of 15 chairs each.
These go for big money so I never dreamed I’d get even close to winning.
Be careful what you ask for.

I realize 30 chairs is complete insanity!

The Mr. keeps shaking his head every time he walks by the patio.
He gave me three options…start a preschool in the basement, open up a store, sell them on Craigslist.
Wah.

  1. Bahaha! This cracked me up for some reason! I can totally picture myself winding up with 30 chairs for no good reason – except I would somehow convince my husband that we desperately needed to keep all 30. Good luck selling!
