And I mean that in the very best possible way. Why?
VIOLA!
TWO, count 'em TWO matching chairs. In our house. Undamaged.
Big Knitting Mojo strikes again!
You guys are the BEST. Thanks! Thanks also for all the commiseration, concern, and foul language on our behalf. I really didn't at any point get very fired up about any of this because, well, it sounds so stupid, but it just could have come out so much worse that I felt like....I don't know...like it would have been ungrateful to be all whiny about a banged up chair. Oh, don't get me wrong, there was foul language, but still.
And now a preview of why Valley Fabrics is the greatest store in all the land.
Please note how this matches the new chaise (which i had NOT as yet even seen) as if it had been MADE for it. This bolt jumped off the shelf and into my arms and made me buy some. Made me, I tell you. Lets refresh our memory about what the chaise looks like (also, BTW, not in it's final location):
Now TELL me we weren't cosmically destined to buy this chaise. Or, for that matter, that fabric. We lead a charmed life around here I tells ya.
FANTASTIC! So glad you found the second chair. And that fabric is wonderful.

Hooray! So glad it all worked out okay.

Yay! If we could collectively knit bone, a particular SKU would present little challenge.

Your house is going to look so styling, you should consider a career as an interior decorator. Seriously.
Someday I MUST get to Valley Fabrics. Must.

They look so good together! Twice as good as just one! I'm so glad they rounded it up for you.

The chairs, the chaise, and the fabric are all totally perfect. Love. Them!

Oh, how nice that you got it all so well worked out - and so fast!
Posted by: Chris | August 18, 2006 at 02:49 PM
Oh man. I want an orange living room too! :-)
Will that fabric be a nice big bolster?

Dude, that was SOME story. Can I tell you how much I love the chairs and the fabric. Delicious!

Congrats: new chairs, nobody got hurt.
Now, um, I'm hoping that Jordans refunded your money for the scraped chairs.
Valley Fabrics is da bomb. Da BOMB!!

Hi! I have a copy of Tudor Roses and would be most happy to send you a copy of the Elizabeth I pattern.
Kindest regards,
Yvette

oh!
(that was an almost embarrassingly orgasmic moment at the sight of the chairs, the fabric (the fabric!) and the chaise all together in one set of pictures. Add in the sight of a newly stripped door, and well, I think I need to go lie down.)
other potential comments on other updates have escaped from my brain while they still have a fleeting chance of someday being recovered. (the fabric!)
Posted by: Kristen | August 21, 2006 at 10:24 PM
Yay for the chairs! And hmm, looks like that fabric will tie chairs and chaise together, no?? Brilliant.
Posted by: Chris | August 23, 2006 at 02:02 PM
Wow! You guys are so fortunate that everything worked out okay. I would have had two buckets of drinks! Looks beautiful! Love ya, Bobbie

would you mind telling me exactly where you bought the chaise? I've been looking for one JUST like that.
