I've always had a thing for French Provincial furniture.
But our house is quite full, and I swear I really wasn't looking for more.
But then something happened and I had to rethink my full house situation.
Take a peek at the far end of our dining room.
I wasn't looking for a little writing desk....
But it seems she must have been looking for me.
When I happened upon her at an antique market, she instantly turned my head.
We both felt the same way about each other, and...

A Rustic Classical Thanksgiving Table
It's a pleasure to be joining a talented group of design bloggers
with table settings for Thanksgiving.

The Perfect Rug
Searching for the perfect rug? Does "The Perfect Rug" even exist?
Buying rugs can be so frustrating that often I end up with no rug at all.
Like my dining room....I have had a naked floor in here for over three years now.

that will do the job, because we have to pull the house together for the holidays?
That has been my situation, and when I was asked if I wanted to try
