Found!

I was perusing craigslist yesterday and found a sweet little chair that seemed to have loads of potential. I've been on the hunt for a cute little accent chair for my living room but have yet to find something quite right for my space. I'm always up for a challenge and at $10.00 I'd say it was worth the inquiry. It was probably one of my most unusual craigs experiences as it was a teenage boy selling the chair(he disclosed he was in high school on the phone it was funny)...I was his first contact about the chair so we quickly made arrangements for me to snap it up. The day I was supposed to pick it up he sent me a text message to see if I would be willing to pay more for it. What happened is he received multiple inquiries on the chair and people were offering to pay more that what he posted it for; he didn't realize what a little jem he had on his hands. Well at first I was kind of mad about it and thought what the heck this kid is yanking me around; he said 10 bucks I'm not going to text him back and barter. I called him and was like look what kind of offers have you had on this chair..he said that no one had really thrown out a number he thought he could give it a week and see what kind of offers roll in...seriously. This is something I do not have the patience for so long story short I said I haven't even seen the condition of the chair, I'm driving all the way to get it the most I'll give you is $20.00 and take if off your hands. In the end I parted with the chair and paid this kid $15.00. All in all really $20.00 is not a lot of money for this chair it was simply the principle behind it....he set a price I was willing to pay it....it then became "chair blackmail". In the end I'm super happy because this chair is cuuuuute. Check it out....I have some ideas for it I may paint it but it definitely needs some new fabric on the cushion as its seen better days.

You can see that the cushion is pretty worn but this chair has great bones and detail.

I'd like to find a fun bold print for the cushion but need some ideas...

To paint or not to paint? If I paint should I go with black, white or a fun bold color or leave it the way it is and just do a really great print on the cushion?

So many options...if anyone has any good ideas I'd love to hear them!
