You haven't heard me hum and haw over my dining room in quite sometime because I finally found my table match. Oh, and a new side table. I found them at a local antique shop. They are made out of reclaimed wood and I am smitten. My savvy smooth talking husband managed to get us both pieces for about a grand which was much cheaper than any other table that I remotely liked. My french antique chairs are finally back from the reupholsters and I could not be any more happy. I found them as a set of six on Craigslist for $250, Ellie broke one right after I got them and the break was in such a way that was not fixable. For now one of our stools will do and KJ has already deemed it his seat so all's good. We kept the old tables bench in the room for extra seating. I slipped covered it in a Robert Allen faux leather that I bought from the Designer's Attic. I wanted something big and more modern over the sideboard to balance out the furniture so I painted a piece completely inspired (copied) from Lindsey Bond's home in this months House Beautiful. Now the only thing left is to find the perfect lighting. Right now there is a fan, I know ugh, but I hope to find a big old lantern for cheap. I think I will be hunting for awhile though and I am okay with that. If you actually read all this then I am rather impressed. Today I am in a rambling mood I guess.

Simply gorgeous...I love how you are fine-tuning your style...it just keeps getting better and better.
I'm a local Bham girl...was wondering if you would share your sources. (antique stores, upholsterers, paint colors) Also wondering where you got the great grey office chair?
paula, i'm in love with the sideboard. great find. and your artwork is super. i've been threatening to do a canvas piece for over our sofa. pam
How beautiful! What a stunning side table you found!
Everything is beautiful! LOVE the way the painting turned out.
So edited and perfect. And I kind of like the stool. ; )
Love the table and those chairs..beautiful. Well done Paula!
love the sideboard- and you just whammed out that painting?! so impressive.
I LOVE that new sideboard and the table looks great too. Pretty impressive about the painting and I would love to hear more about your curtain "rod".
I love this look, and the grey is awesome.
Love those chairs, what a find. Everything is lovely.
Yep. I actually read all that. LOOKS TERRIFIC. the chairs are wonderful and I love the fact that you've replaced one with the stool. Looks absolutely intentional and very well done. A complete set would not look nearly as interesting. And love your art. You've inspired me to do the same...
great job. Donna
i am in love with this whole room! perfection.
Yeah!!!! Looks great!!!!
LOVE the stool! Everything else is perfection, but it looks even more lovely with that stool, I think!
Gorgeous.
I LOVE your newly reupholstered chairs! And yes -- I read it all ;)
Great table. I also couldn't help but notice your doggy bed. I have the same one!
Looks so good!! GREAT job!! xxoo

Looks so great, Paula... I"m feeling inspired now. I about ready to paint some type of canvas too... love yours!

Absolutely beautiful.

Those chairs are crazy gorgeous!
Love the contrast from the table to the chairs
I was wondering about the stool on the photo but then I read that it broke, and to be honest, I like the complete look!
Love the new look! That new side board and table are gorgeous and I love how the little stool adds a touch of wimsy!
Love the new art, its perfect for over the new sideboard, which I think is FAB by the way! The chairs look perfect with the table, and I think the little stool is a surprise addition that makes the whole look!!
Everything is beautiful!! Doesn't it feel great when you've been able to to be patient enough for the perfect thing? Love them.
I am crazy in love with that table...gorgeous!
