Peacock Chair

Look what I've just acquired - a groovy Peacock Chair and no, this wasn't a recent purchase or a cheap Op Shop find. It was absolutely, 100% free of charge - courtesy of Brisbane's Kerbside Collection Scheme. These chairs can retail up to $900, so this is definitely a bargain in my book.

I spotted this chair on the side of the road during yesterday's school run and, remarkably, it happens to be in pretty good condition. Amazing what people are willing to part with.

With a coat of white paint and a round seat cushion, I'm sure I'll find a suitable place for it in the new house. Perhaps on the front verandah or in the corner of the main bedroom. And on a sunny day, I just might drag in out into the backyard and place it underneath a shady tree. But until then, it will sit in our basement.
