I think the set we chose initially is very pretty and I still like it, but it's just the wrong style (and it's pretty small).
I'm leaning towards this...
Macy's describes it as, "Rustic farmhouse design with a modern edge." Sounds good to me. My only concern is how the wood will look with our floors, but an area rug would probably solve that problem. I'm also not a huge fan of the table legs, but I don't hate them either. Even though we would still have 6 chairs, the table is about 10" longer and would fill the room a bit more.So, time for questions...Opinions on the new set? Should we get the matching buffet or put this piece that we already bought in the dining room (originally planning to put it in the kitchen)?
I'm waiting until we're in the house to buy any accent or decor pieces. I did find a rug for the office that I'm in love with, but I'm going to wait to order it until the furniture is set-up so I can figure out which size will work best.
The first set is very elegant, the other set is the opposite and very rustic. So you would need to think about the look you are trying to achieve.
ReplyDeleteFor curtains, I found these two similar ones (the second is very sheer, though:

I like both sets but they are very different styles. Maybe try to think about style flow in the furniture through the lower level?
ReplyDeleteI love love love the rug too!
Def love the rug....does anyone speak french?
DeleteI don't speak French, but there is a translation on the website under, "more details."

Both sets of furniture are nice, but maybe you could find a nice happy medium. You kind of went from super elegant to rustic. Maybe something still white but not as fancy? You've toned it down this way, and can still use the piece you already purchased. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteRug is NICE!!!
I'm looking for the exact same curtains - cream and taupe horizontal stripes. Who knew something so simple would be so hard to fine!
ReplyDeleteI ended up going with drapes from JCPenney. They aren't exactly what I was looking for, but the color and style (horizontal stripe) was similar.
