Last Thursday my son’s bed broke…again.  My husband assured me he could repair it (again) with wood glue.  I said, “no, we’re going to Goodwill, I saw a great twin bed there last week”.  He protested, but we went anyway.

We did get my son a great 1960′s solid wood twin bed (that now we need a box spring for), that I may or may not paint in the future….While we were there we spotted this little chair.

We both liked it (nary a protest from my husband), for $18 we took it home.  I cleaned it up (although it didn’t need much cleaning at all).  Aaron wanted it in the dining room/office/family room because their aren’t any comfy chairs in there, but the dining room walls are yellow.

I decided a pillow with both yellow and blue was in order to tie everything together.  The white linen I thrifted a few years ago, the yellow and blue knit I picked up at SAS.  I keep seeing variations on the Union Jack in pillow, throws, stationary etc and really like it.  I didn’t realize until after I made it that this Union Jack pillow is in the colors of the swedish flag!  Ha Ha!

I think it ties in nicely- and we all like sitting in the chair.  Hooray for Goodwill!
