Vintage Tufted Wingback Library Chair- $220

 

This chair is actually from a “Dealer”, but they collect antiques at Estate Sales, Antique Stores, and Thrift Stores. They make their prices competitive with other stores that sell similar style home décor such as Target, Pier1 Imports, and Ikea. You MUST check out their incredibly beautiful pieces at their website Reinspired Home.

I LOVE how she turned out! What do you think?
