My Second FBMP Purchase ~ White Armchairs
Oh goodness, you guys I am so excited. As you can tell by the title I had a wonderful weekend! On Friday I decided to work half a day and get some housework done. I think I shared on Friday that I was looking for some antique or vintage armchairs and that I had found some on Facebook Marketplace.
Well, I am so happy to share that I was able to pick them up early Friday afternoon! This is my second Facebook Marketplace purchase. I shared my first purchase in March. I am still loving my china!

I saw these beauties and had to make an offer!
Aren’t they gorgeous? Very grandmillennial. She responded pretty quickly and we had made an arrangement for me to pick them up on Saturday around 7 in the evening. Well, 7 came and went and I was really frustrated! I thought, “oh no did she sell them”?

But she responded (thankfully) and we rescheduled for this past Saturday. Then I reached out on Friday and asked if I could pick them up early and she said yes! Yay!!! I do love them and can not wait to start looking for new fabrics! I will be changing the color. I may go with white or cream again but I would love to add a different fabric, maybe toile or some chinoiserie print on the back. What do you all think?
I decided to add my blue and white chinoiserie pillows to them. I purchased these pillows when I was 20. It is one of the last decor items from my first apartment. These chairs have no damage. There are a few stains and spots but nothing that concerns me. I also think I paid a really good price. She wanted $200 and I asked if she would take $150 and she agreed! I’ve seen one chair like this go for $200 by itself in a store so I am really pleased with this price!

Okay, so that is Mrs. Shockley $200 spent total on two wonderful items on Facebook Marketplace. I pray that my luck continues. We will see. Oh, and I also wanted to remind everyone that the dress sale is still going on for the boutique. My new earrings are ready for purchase. I decided to name them Vivian. The Vivian pearl drop earrings are ready and I am hoping to get more in stock. We will see how these do. And lastly, the Beverly tote is 10% off this week! I hope you guys all enjoy the boutique. Have a great Monday!
What a great find. Thrilled you found them. Going fabric shopping is a blast. I hope you find what you’re looking for Mrs Shockley ???
Thank you! I couldn’t love them more. I have already gotten an estimate to reupholster them. I will get more and we will see!
Looking forward to the chair makeover. You have exquisite taste always so results are sure to be stunning! 🙂
