Ok, I just saw your comment about your living room.I'm in the process of redoing mine in Yellow and gray...I just am having an impossible time finding fabric to re cover my throw pillows...

I mean all I have picked out so far is the paint color   We won't be able to do that much furniture purchasing until we get the tax credit next year, but I have so many ideas...

I was in an antique shop today and they had this INCREDIBLE arm chair, 250$, it was yellow fabric with white weaved in. Its hard to describe but it was absolutely beautiful.

I have all black furniture in my living room so its very versatile. My living room has been black and red (T's favorite color) up until recently because I'm sick of it. I dont really have any money to redecorate right now but im scheming and I'll slowly buy things...

Nebb- that sounds amazing..I've been meaning to hit up some antique stores in search of an antique window..

I want to go furniture shopping like now

I have an old antique window in our storage unit. When we moved I had ammassed a small collection of antique windows, but my husband would only let me take one (I HAD 6). I ran into a woman one day who was renovating her farm house and had probably 30+ windows stacked against the side of it and she told me if I wanted any I could just take them!

Ahhh no fair. I have been searching craigslist for a decent priced one and haven't found anything. I just want single pan though because im going to spray paint the center as a chalkboard for my kitchen.

Do you ever have estate sales or  anything like that? We passed a yard sale yesterday that had old windows for sale.

I'm not really sure about estate sales. I know theres yardsales but I feel like I'll have better luck if I go more into the country..

I love this chair from Target. I posted the yellow version for you yellow ladies but I really want the orange one. Too bad there's no where in our 1 bedroom apt to put it. [IMG]<a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/21kxyqx.jpg" rel='nofollow'>http://i25.tinypic.com/21kxyqx.jpg</a>[/IMG]

Oooh that's a great chair.

If I could only go back in time - I had one that was on the smaller side, it had 3 small rectangular panes. Not totally what youre looking for but Id send it if I could. I hate that all of those windows ended up being thrown out. I wonder if window companies would have any suggestions or know where you could get some that had been taken out of an older house they worked on?

I saw that chair yesterday. I love it, I just have no room for additional furniture

Yea I was thinking of talking to some construction type companies. Also, theres this restaurant in a more  rural part of town thats in an old farm house and has old windows having up so I was thinking of asking them where they got them.

Have you ever checked out http://printpattern.blogspot.com/ - some cutesy/kitschy patterns, but a lot of the time they have some GREAT fabrics, always linked to the designer or wherever its from. You might find something there for your pillows.

Awesome, thank you! I feel like I've looked everywhere..

Thanks Nebb! Those are probably going to get me in trouble, they'll certainly keep me occupied for a while
