Can we say BARGAIN?!

This is the deal of the century right here ya'll. Last Monday I purchased a dining room table and chairs, but here is the story that goes with it... From the beginning. 

Jacky's Aunt Lanette has a kitchen table and chairs that I just thought were beautiful. I told Jacky's mom on Sunday (day before the purchase) that when I bought a table and chairs that is exactly what I wanted. The dining set sells at Ashley furniture for $899!!!!! Aunt Lanette bought it for $599 at a liquidation place, but it only came with 4 chairs. So Monday Mom calls and tells me that someone is selling that exact dining set in Cookeville for $150-- THAT'S RIGHT $150! So I bought it. The only thing wrong with it was that it was filthy from their three precious little girls. 

Here is the nastiness.. 

 

Needless to say, I had some major cleaning to do. BUT I was not going to attempt to save the upholstery. They were doomed. Saturday I spent my evening wiping down the chairs with some bleach water, dish soap, and hot water. Jacky was drying out 20 cans of old paint for the trash men to take them. 

Since the chairs and table were clean, I needed to find new upholstery to cover the chair cushions. That was a mission in itself. Not fully happy with my choice, but the chairs are covered and the table is DONE AND IN USE!
