Charity Vintage: Orange stacking chairs

(ends 3 Mar, 2015 15:24:12 GMT)

We love these orange stacking chairs for sale by & in support of Arch Stepping Stones Appeal*. They’re currently an unbelievable £1.04 for the job lot of 17 chairs.

You could have 6 dining chairs, 2 bedroom chairs and a set of 4 garden chairs – and still have some leftovers! If you’re anywhere near or willing to drive to Stoke-on-Trent then grab yourself a bargain!

*All monies raised as a result of selling items on eBay will go towards the work that Arch Stepping Stones Appeal does with children and young people who are the ‘forgotten victims of domestic violence’ across Staffordshire and Cheshire. With your help and support they can make a difference by putting a smile back on the faces of our children and young people and help create a bright and safe future for them all.

Gimme Five! Leather beanbags

Our 10-week stint staying in temporary accommodation at the end of last year coincided with Fudge’s leg being broken. This meant at least one of us spending a great deal of time lying beside him on the floor: a) to stop him jumping on to and off of the sofas & armchairs of our short-term holiday let and b) to stop him re-injuring himself in the process.

Luckily, the house we stayed in had a beanbag that came in useful when keeping Fudge company on the floor. We were surprised at how comfortable it was and our preconception of them being student bedsit stalwarts also vanished. So much so, that we’re considering getting a leather beanbag of our own! Here are the 5 best we’ve come across.

Leather Sofa Beanbag: The Lounge About Company, £475
Real Leather Large 150cm Slob Slab© Bean Sofa Bean bag: rucomfy, £299
Mulberry Home Chestnut Leather Bean Bag: Amara Living, £892
Sao Luis: CoziBag Bean Bags, £239
ICON™ Real Leather XXL Gaming Bean Bag Recliner: BeanBag Bazaar, £179.99

Take a seat!

We’re super-pleased with this purchase we made on Thursday. We’ve been on the hunt for a club chair for some time…

…then, not only did we get a club chair, we got two club chairs… and a matching 2-seater sofa!

It’s an original 1930s Art Deco suite, re-upholstered in the 1960s in a tan leatherette. Fantastic shape, comfortable with lovely stud detailing.

And a little extra… the lady who sold it says it was re-covered in the same leatherette as was used for Concorde. We’re trying to track down some old photos from the plane or Concorde airport lounge interior.

Fudge approves – and has made himself very much at home!

It’s found a home in our top floor bedroom/lounge. We spent the entire day re-arranging everything to accommodate it.

It was worth it though… there’ll be many books read in these chairs… cups of tea / glasses of wine drunk, crackling fires watched. We love it already!
