Old and New

Project "Comfortable Living Room" continues. I went out to a junk shop and found a pair of chairs. They are probably 40 years old and in GREAT shape (I actually think they were probably pretty nice chairs to begin with, which helps). Their shape is actually great for Eric and me- I really wanted delicate slipper chairs and he really wanted chairs with arms so this feels like a nice compromise.

Their fabric, is, however, completely hideous. BUT THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. Each chair was $35.00. In American money. So for a total of $70, we have two chairs that are structurally sound that we can live with until the happy day arrives that we can afford to have them recovered. But the good news is that they are ok enough that we can live with them just like this until we get the sofa.
So that's the "old" news. The new news is that Vake has figured out his walker. He was about to take a nap when this pic was snapped so it is not as good as it could have been but you get the idea.
