On Saturday we took a walk through the center of Ottawa with no set plans. We wandered down Bank Street and I saw what looked to be a secondhand store [within / alongside a shop called Picture Works, which has no details online]. It was full of a jumbled mess of secondhand pieces and I couldn’t not go in.
I walked down one of the aisles and what did I see but a little pink bucket chair under a pile of chairs and stools. I cleared it off, sat down and decided I had to have it. It was so perfect and at just $30, I really couldn’t not get it.
The shop owner was eccentrically honest and even offered to deliver it to me for “whatever price you want”. Last night he delivered it as promised and after a quick clean, it is now home in the corner of Cora’s room. It’s so perfect for her space and just what I was looking for in a cosy reading chair. It swivels and rocks back and forth and more importantly, is so comfortable [as I type sitting in it]. Cora’s had a few rough nights getting to sleep [fuck teeth], so it will definitely be a welcome place for us to sit with her until she falls asleep.
Secondhand FTW.
Wow – good work, Carberry!!! Can't believe it swivels and rocks too, result! It looks so cosy, and is the perfect pale pink. It'll pick up the colour of that cute piggy head you bought back in Ireland! What a bargain as well. xx
Can you believe that was the first thing I checked when I put it in the corner of Cora's room? That it matched the little piggy?! Oh and the pink behind the Bill Murray print 😜
Oh my god that's an amazing deal and it's a gorgeous chair! What a lucky score! Instagrammers everywhere are weeping at spending 10 times that amount for their own homes!! lol xx
Hahaha! Cora may not completely appreciate it, but I sure as hell do!!!
