$20 Recliner

Several weeks ago my husband and I were discussing seating options in our living room. He expressed the desire for a recliner that he could sit and read in or just chill after a long day of work or maybe just to relax in while watching his golf. I really cannot stand the huge overstuffed recliners that take up all kinds of room and don’t fit my decor. I know, it is probably selfish and weird. But, my thoughts for a recliner were not pleasant ones. But, I really wanted him to have something to relax in and I figured I could compromise a bit. Ha, have you checked prices of recliners recently? Oh my goodness! All the ones that would even come close to not looking awkward in our home were hundreds of dollars. I could not nor would justify a purchase like that. Thus, I put my knees to work and started to pray in a recliner. I prayed specifically too—- leather like material and something not too huge and nasty and that it fit my decor even just a little bit without being an eye sore. I received a $25 goodwill gift card from a friend on my birthday and ran into the Goodwill the next day.

Lo and behold this little guy introduced himself to me…

The price tag was $19.99 and it was exactly what I wanted. I didn’t even think it was a recliner until I sat down and it perfectly reclined for me!! I had a 20% off coupon for Goodwill too, so I got this sweet addition to the living room for $15.99.

We love our living space even full of thrifted finds.

Come on over and visit! He may even let you sit in it…it’s pretty comfortable.
