A Blueprint Story

So much going on this week!

Don't larn me wrong..... I am aware that everyone's life is belike crazy besides but the amount of things that went awry was epic.  Lost fabrics, fabrics beingness sent to the incorrect place, dorsum orders as well as and thence on.

But..... I'm hither to state that a few things went right.  I tried to guild a java tabular array but I couldn't abide by it on the website whatever more......so I did what whatever dogged designer would produce as well as flora it at an online store.  

All adept right?  Nope.  A few days afterward at that topographic point was the dreaded e-mail that it had been discontinued as well as they were sending me a total refund.

What?  No!  Unacceptable.

I couldn't permit it go.....now I had convinced myself it was the perfect java tabular array as well as it was this 1 or nothing.

I happened to yell back that this vendor has a local shop hither inwards Georgia.....so I placed a telephone telephone to enquire if they had 1 on the floor.  She said no but a truck had merely come upwards inwards as well as she would telephone telephone me back.

Lawd......guess what?  There was 1 on the truck as well as since it was discontinued she gave it to me 1/2 price.

Can you lot believe it?  

It was my client/friend's birthday weekend.  Happy freaking birthday gurrrrrrrl.

But wait.....it gets better.  Part ii of the "things went right" story.

This is the dining room table.  We require chairs as well as seriously I receive got looked everywhere for something that was #1 reasonably priced as well as #2 the perfect chair.  Again alongside the perfection.....

Here were some of the contenders.

I saw these at Dixon Rye as well as realized I wanted black.

So I flora these on Ballard's website which I liked.....

Then I saw these as well as got all sweaty!  Loved!

But heck.....the toll was upwards at that topographic point alongside the national debt.  No Bueno.

Another 1 that I saw at the Furniture Market. And 764 others.   

You powerfulness hold out thinking that I obsess this difficult for every client....well yeah I produce but this 1 happens to hold out my friend as well as thence I felt it was my duty to "find the deal".

If you're notwithstanding alongside me....here is where the story gets good!  I was on my agency to alternative upwards the java tabular array as well as decided to swing past times the Ballard Outlet merely for grins.

They were having a 40% sale as well as idea "what if I abide by half dozen chairs" [slim chance].....but came roughly the corner as well as saw these.....

OK.....so she loves mid century modern.....these are definitely mid century but to a greater extent than traditional.  I sent her this text....which was genuinely merely a courtesy because I already had the jibe tag on them.

So I furiously sent her 10 pictures [from pinterest] of these chairs shown inwards a dining room situation.  Then.... I discovered that they were 60% off [126.00 ea] as well as at that signal at that topographic point was zilch she could state to prevent me from getting them.
