$100 Chair Do-up

Whilst making the gaming table of a lifetime, I decided I needed some chairs. Trademe had these ones.

$100 for six. Solid Wood. Ugly as. 

Upon buyign them and stripping them back a bit, we figured they were solid Oak. Which is always nice to learn!

We recovered the cushions and sanded until they were smooth and clean. 

Turned out looking amazing in my opinion. Nice, clean and modern looking. They need a bit of work on the joints pulling apart a bit, but that's on the to do list. 

Online Shopping - Thred Up Review

Gah - I'm so jealous of people who live in America and get to use Thredup's store with the low shipping cost!

Got my $60 leather jacket today ($20 to buy and $40 to ship) and it is gorgeous! The 70/30 wool angora sweater I chucked in was super cute too.

High quality stuff is super expensive here in NZ, even second hand. Thredup's quality is amazing, and the $5 wool sweatshirts I've scored would've cost over $20 at Savemart, let alone brand new! Totally worth the extra shipping. (I do wish shipping in a bag were an option though!

Here's some of the neat stuff I've bought:

Leather Jacket ($20), 70/30 Sweater $5, Wool Skirt $25 (Savemart)

Dress $5.60

Dress $12.00

Happy Shopping
