My set of sea grass benches arrived last week. The quality is great and the price was even better. You never know what you are going to get when you order online.
Thank you to all who helped me to decide what fabric to go with, the blue houndstooth is beautiful. The scale of the houndstooth design was a lot larger than I had anticipated but I like it even more. It is a bit more graphic in a larger scale and the color is a perfect match.
Did you notice I took my rug out? My house is 101 years old and gets dusty very easily. With my husband and children having dusty allergies, I took all of the rugs out of my downstairs. With the rug out, I still needed some texture around or under the table, it looked a bit bare. I placed the biggest sea grass bench under the table for more storage and it helps add back texture now that the rug is gone.
More accessories still need to be added in this room. I am not a knick-knacky person, maybe that is the "modern" in me. But the "cottage" knows that accessories can really make a room feel more lived in.
This is my struggle.
Anyway, I adore the new benches.
I adore them as well and I love the color of the table still!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get them they are fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI think this room is just beautiful! What is the name of the color on the wall? It is so warm, but still a nice neutral. My living room is suffering from beige overload... :/ I'd also love to know the name of the color on the table. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great! Love your blog.
ReplyDeletegreat choice in fabric!
ReplyDeleteHi Allison, I'm a new blogger & just found your site last night :) Love it! You just gave me a great idea for my son's PB activity table that is now ...in my way! He's 5 & never uses it so I'm thinking about converting it to a coffee table ~ I love how your coffee table is large & has the benches ..the hounds tooth is fantastic! Just joined your friend connect :) PS. I get monthly allergy shots & yes carpets make me sneeze! You could get some plywood or whatever cut to the size of a rug you want, back it with a floor (to protect your floor) and paint a really cool rug! Just a thought :)
