Diamond in the rough

Apparently, one man's trash was my treasure. We found this little jewel at the ever wonderful D.I. and quickly snatched it up for a mere $15. Lance nonchalantly carried the chair, along with our murder mystery costume accessories, to the cash register at the front of the store, where he casually placed our new found treasure at the feet of a surprised cashier. It was at this point she decided to inform us that we, "could have just brought the tag". Yes thank you, but we don't often get attention, so we like to go to stores and carry large items around above our heads just to make sure we get noticed. I will admit, our decision making skills were questionable at this point since we were attempting to purchase some suspenders, a hat, a belt, and oh yes we'll take this armchair as well. However, there was method to our madness. We were planning on taking the chair with us right then and we were parked out front.

In summary, although thought to be insane, we were allowed to purchase the chair, which now resides in our living room with all of the other mismatched furniture. It matches our orange wall for now, but some day when we actually get nice furniture, we plan to recover it in plush leather or something equally nice, like crushed velvet. Who knows? Eat your heart out IKEA.
