Oh, Maile. I've been trashing about lately. What a breath this was to my soul today. And the chairs are perfection <3

I love this post and the exploration of complicated familial love (I am also a third generation bargain shopper).

I’ll ponder your questions before I give a trite answer, but I just want to say those chairs are gorgeous! And $30 each?! I don’t have the patience for bargain shopping but am always thrilled for and jealous of people who find deals like these. Can’t wait to sit in one!!

THOSE CHAIRS??!!! They totally fit the Nooks vibe!

I'm definitely more of a scrambling for a life preserver type. Your words have given me some things to think about.
