i’m so excited…

…and i just can’t hide it!

wanna know why?

cause i happened upon my neighbor as he was pulling these beauties out to his curb the other day:

and by curb…i mean to the garbage pile! can you believe it?!

he was kind enough to graciously let me take them off his hands (even though we spastically slammed on the brakes and came to a screeching halt in front of his house, probably scaring him half to death!!)

so the hubs and i loaded them into our car while i tried my very best to play it cool and contain my utter joy and excitement!!

and in case you couldn’t tell by the first picture, they are rocking chairs:

check out these details:

so much character…so much detail…so much beauty…all for FREE!!

i’m dying…

hold on a sec while i catch my breath…

i see these with a fresh coat of paint and some plush seat cushions fashioned with some funky fabric…so be on the lookout for the Before and After.

now i just need to figure out where to put them in my house! but i’m thinking that’s a good problem to have!

so may i just sign off by quoting Buddy the Elf…

“i’m in love, i’m in love, and i don’t care who knows it!!”
