Dining Room

Recently we've been searching for two fun dining chairs to go at the end of our dining table. Once I saw the Martine Dining Chairs from Restoration, I knew I loved the look. Our dining room table is oval so the shape of this chair would almost fit with the curve of our table.

Here is our table from C&B.....
We actually bought this at the outlet for half off b/c the hardware for the extension leaf was installed incorrectly. It took about 5 minutes to fix that issue!

Inspiration for the host/hostess chairs:


I just kept my eye out for something similar over a period of weeks...and eventually we stumbled upon these two green chairs at TJ Maxx/Home Goods. I was so happy to get these chairs at a fraction of the cost.

I was taking a risk with the color of these chairs, but I've really grown to like the green. We have a lot of complimenting colors in the living room next door so once both rooms are done, I think the bold color will look great :)





I'll post final pictures of the dining room once we've got a hutch and final details up...but we're getting close to having some finished rooms.

Thanks for checking in!

Love Craigslist

I consider myself a bargain shopper....I love the hunt. Since we came from a one bedroom apartment and into a house, you can imagine that we have enough pieces to furnish only 30% of our house.

With renovating and all, our budget is small for purchasing new furniture....so Craigslist has become my new best friend.

Check out what we got this week (we picked it all up last night)!

Table and 4 chairs that will go in a corner of our family room. Sometime this summer I'm going to re-stain this a darker wood so it matches the rest of our furniture.

Total- $50




Upholstered Thomasville Chair. Not sure where we will put this...maybe the master bedroom eventually?

I couldn't pass this up- It is still for sale at Thomasville stores for $1000, but I got this two year old chair on Craigslist for $100. We're going to have it reupholstered!



Upholstery place that has rave reviews on yelp- Julian and Marc, LLC. They are cheaper than any place I've looked and their work looks beautiful!
