Yay for FREE!!!


Ever since the first time I went to my in-law's house, I have coveted my mother-in-law's chaise lounge that she had in her bed room. I wanted one sooo bad! I looked everywhere for one that was similar and inexpensive. I looked on Craig's List, Ebay, Goodwill, garage sales and used funiture stores. I never could find one that was similar that I could afford. But guess what? I have the best mother-in-law, EVER!! My father-in-law bought her a new chair and ottomon for her bedroom so she GAVE ME HER CHAISE!!!
She's like an oversized chair and I like that. Perfect for snuggling up with a good book.

Her upolstery is different and I like that.

She goes great with my living room.
And she was free! That's the best part, of course, 'cause I am all about free! The only problem is that my mother-in-law smokes so my little chaise stinks! I had her out on the patio for a couple of days to air out but then it started raining! She gets sprayed with Fabreeze everytime I walk by and this weekend we are going to give her a good shampooing. But until then, I will just sit on the sofa and admire her!!!


Any suggestions on how to get rid of the smoke smell?? Help!

  3. She's lovely but maybe she just needs to be dusted with a box of baking soda, let stand alone for several hours or overnight (can the window be open?) and then vacuumed. It might do the trick.

  4. Oh Meesie--I love it. Very French Budoir!!!
    I think the baking soda idea sounds good--or even some carpet fresh in a well ventilated place then vacuum.
