My new home has more than just a living room, so I figured I’d keep showing you a few things about the place. I have no idea why people find the insides of other people’s homes interesting, but there’s obviously a reason that I pour through the homes sections of Southern Living and Domino and watch HGTV so religiously.
I picked up five of these photos at an arts fair while living in Chattanooga and then put them in some cheap frames I bought at Target. The sixth photo in the upper left corner is of the bird girl statue in Savannah.
My kitchen/dining room table is probably my favorite piece of furniture. It was the first piece of furniture I ever bought. My mom and I on a trip to Atlanta trekked about an hour out of the way to hit up a Pottery Barn outlet. It’s supposed to be a patio table, and when I bought it I told myself if I ever grew tired of it as a dining table I could put it out on the patio. Four years and I’ve not grown tired of it.
The S&P shakers are from World Market and the bamboo folding chair is one of a set of four that Currer Bell and I found in a trash pile near our house in Chattanooga.
When I bought my old townhome in Nashville, the first thing I did before moving in was paint the entire kitchen green. A shade I cannot even describe. Darker than avacado, more avacado than moss, more mossy than snot. It was my house and I was determined the best room in the house would also be painted my favorite color. I want to paint this room green too, but not quite that same color. Any suggestions on a shade?
I love your design abilities. TRULY! Come to Chicago and help me decorate when I move out.
Lovely. Hope you had a semi-relaxing mini vaca.
Ditto on your design abilities.
The patio table is great.
Lime green!!!
If you’re going for a deeper color, asparagus is cool. I don’t know how it would look on a large wall though. Sea green is a nice green too.
Love the table and how you did the frames, I love that look when I see it in the magazines, etc.
I love that table! I love outdoor furniture as indoor.
I love green, too. But I wouldn’t even begin to know what shade to suggest. They all seem so similar to me.
Celery?
No suggestions for the shade, but I LOVE that table!
K: Thanks! I’ll be happy to come help đŸ™‚
Fishing Around: There was a color called asparagus at the Home Depot that I’ve liked. It’s definitely an option.
Jessica: Thanks! I didn’t do a very good job measuring out the spaces though. I’m lazy like that.
Allie: There’s something way more fun about it.
Noelle: It’s a hard color to figure out for paint.
Em: That’s a good idea too.
V: Thanks!
