You should never, NEVER, look at the classifieds unless you are ready to go out and get the treasures you find!
I went to the 'advanced search' and typed in 'mission' under 'furniture'.
BINGO!
I found a set of 6 mission style chairs being sold by the same woman who sold me the other two!
It turns out that she is looking for chairs for her kitchen table, found this set on ksl, and brought them home from Layton only to discover that they wouldn't work! Something about being too wide to slide under. That was probably the case with the other two, as well!
Anyway, she listed the 6 chairs for $120, but told me that one was damaged, so she would sell them to me for $100. That is $20 per chair (for the undamaged ones, the damaged one was free). Since it is well under my $50 budget, I jumped in and bought them yesterday. I think they look fabulous!
Bill didn't know about them and found out when he got home. He isn't sure he likes how wide in the seat they are, but truthfully doesn't really care. He's just glad I am happy. He is wonderful that way!
So now I am truly done and will not be looking at the classifieds for some time. No, I hate window shopping, so I will stay away for fear of temptation. 'If you aren't shopping, don't look' is my motto!
