Chair Graveyard

It's true, my basement is starting to look less like a newly-finished basement/knitting studio, and more like a chair graveyard.  For the past few months I have been busy scouting out old chairs from Goodwills, Salvation Army's, and local garage sales.  Here's what I've come up with do far:


The plan is this:  all chairs will get new coordinating fabric (I've already found a couple that I *love*).  The larger chairs will be painted white- I am still undecided on the little guys.  If I can find a few more smaller chairs in the same wood hue, I will just replace the fabric and keep them as is.  They will be sitting around an antique cherry table, so going white with them may look a little funny. 

When I was getting ready to post about these chairs this morning, this post came up on one of my favorite blogs.  Pretty crazy, huh?

In other news, I am looking to recruit some more help from you, my internet savvy readers once again.  The other day at the shop hop,  I fell in love with this ribbon at one of the shops:


I love it!  So far, I have only been able to find it by the yard.  Can anyone help me find where to purchase a spool??
