Vintage Bamboo Chairs & Thrifty Style Series

April 12, 2017 By Erin Spain 11 Comments

Each month, I team up with some blog friends for our “Thrifty Style Series,” where we share thrifted or second-hand items styled in our homes. I love this series because it gives our readers an opportunity to gather ideas and inspiration for how to style thrifted items, and also what to look for when shopping secondhand. Considering half of my house has been thrifted one way or another, I have plenty to share!

Today, I’m sharing details on an item that you’ve seen in various photos in the past, but I’ve never gone into detail about where they came from or why I love them. It’s this pair of Hollywood Regency style vintage bamboo chairs. They currently reside in our master bedroom.

I love thrifty style, and these vintage bamboo chairs were a steal! Definitely going to be on the hunt for more like this.

They used to be in my “mom cave.”

I’ve debated forever about whether or not to paint them, and I was super close to painting them a glossy kelly green when they were downstairs flanking the card catalog. Now that I’ve relocated them up to the bedroom though, I kind of love them in their natural state. So for now, they will stay “as is.”

The chairs came from another blogger who is a member of our Atlanta bloggers’ group. She posted that she had found a bunch of them at a thrift store for a steal, but she didn’t need all of them. I called dibs on two of them and the rest is history! I can’t remember how much I paid her for them. I think maybe $20? I’ve always loved Hollywood Regency style, and I had been on the lookout for something similar for a while. I’m very happy to have scored these!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Thrifty Style Team is sharing this month. You can find their posts linked below!

    I am so sorry….. I wasn’t looking at your Hollywood chairs for most of the post, and that’s because I was seeing stars after I cast my eyes on that card catalog!

      Thank you Bliss! That card catalog was the score of a lifetime. And it was free!

    These chairs are gorgeous, Erin! I think they’re perfect without paint now that they’re flanking that lovely white piece of furniture. Such a great find…I’m with you. Love that style, too!

    Your chairs are beautiful, Erin, and I love them in their natural state. Isn’t it funny how something as simple as moving an item can give it a new and just right feel? Have a great week!

    Love the brown and white with the subtle gray/white on the walls. Is there info about the paint color? I also enjoyed reading about the ginger jar makeover as I have just found some at a local Restore!

      Thanks, Zoe! The paint color is “Gray Owl” by Benjamin Moore.
