You know the country green and burgundy along with shelves with hearts cut out...ack. Anyway something I've found to be a very easy way to completely change up a look is simply paint it a new colour. The walls furniture. Your table and chairs could be completely transformed with a different colour. Have fun with it. The bottom of the table could be kelly green and the chairs white or black. Then paint the walls and voila completely new space, without breaking the bank and still feeling like home.Dana @ Bungalow'56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14925373078487563897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-63479201087640076522011-02-06T21:43:09.188-08:002011-02-06T21:43:09.188-08:00What a great table!

I'm surprised Brady even noticed furniture style at 4 years old...he's one of a kind that little guy.<br />As far as "finding your style". I have NONE. I don't just have no sense of style and decorating...I have a NEGATIVE sense of style and decorating. Some people have vision and skill in that area and I definitely do not. However, having said that, I still love my house and feel very at home and comfortable in it. <br />I think for me, I would have to look in a magazine to find something I like (Pottery Barn) and then totally copy it. Either that or hire a decorator to come in and do it all for me.<br />I bet you have some great opportunities to find great furniture living in Amish country, no?Susan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387510304089583710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-28410102150797811012011-02-06T07:36:14.927-08:002011-02-06T07:36:14.927-08:00Hi friend!

It's been hectic around here the last few days. <br /><br />I love how the table looks. Eric is so great at fixing up things and I'm glad he had the vision for this table. I think it's beautiful. I love the chairs also. That is too funny what Brady said about the table. Kids are hilarious. BUT, it's definitely not ugly at all. <br /><br />I don't really have a style. I stick with things I love, and that make me happy. Some rooms in our house are a hodge podge. I just try to keep it simple, with personal touches. I like things we've picked up on trips, personal photos, etc. I think your home is very cute and very charming!<br /><br />Have a great Sunday!Nicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-91324649676456091032011-02-05T21:05:33.672-08:002011-02-05T21:05:33.672-08:00That table is FAB!That table is FAB!KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483933259132174614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-6064085455124154832011-02-05T19:45:22.339-08:002011-02-05T19:45:22.339-08:00How fun!

It has a neat story too.<br />I always think it's fun to be unique.<br /><br />I too feel the need to change things up a bit. We are in a time of life where extra money goes to things like college costs and weddings but I try and do 1 or 2 things each year and someday we will get there. I don't know how you know your style I just buy things I like :-DCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-62474832998859068752011-02-05T16:33:53.823-08:002011-02-05T16:33:53.823-08:00Oh I am so glad you did this post. I was thinking...Oh I am so glad you did this post. I was thinking in the middle of the night (when I couldn't sleep...) that this would be a great post for you to do. What a story and what a great find!! I cannot believe you got that table and chairs for THAT price. And way to go Eric for seeing the potential.<br />I know what you mean about wanting a new style. We have a lot of primitive/country stuff that I am ready to get rid of too. Slowly but surely I am doing just that. I cleaned off a whole bookcase and shelf on the way to the basement of old stuff I was just tired of looking at. I haven't replaced it yet...I know that will take time. My thinking was a blank canvas would motivate me!!:) I like J's idea about getting magazines for inspiration. I always love looking at Pottery Barn catalogs for that...and those are free!!!<br />Enjoy the night{cindy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06475685252532344615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-9451190464691561142011-02-05T16:11:41.587-08:002011-02-05T16:11:41.587-08:00First of all, if you decide to get rid of that tab...First of all, if you decide to get rid of that table, I call dibs! (Was I the first commentor???) <br /><br />Second of all, I had the same "finding my style" problem when I got married. My sister (the interior decorator) told me to buy lots of magazines and tear out pages of rooms that I like. Then go back through and find the common thread (colors, styles, themes, etc). It worked.<br />Maybe you could try it.<br /><br />And, she always stresses don't be too "matchy, matchy"...don't be afraid to mix it up. <br /><br />Good luck!<br />JJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254523298667752066noreply@blogger.com
