Finishing Touches.

 Friday and Saturday were cold and rainy here.
I mean dark and dreary, stay in bed under the covers and read,
dont' go out unless you have to, kind of weather.

But, alas, it was grocery shopping time.
I bought these lovelies to brighten my day
and our dining room table.

 Instant mood lifter, right?
……..

Speaking of dining rooms,
I want to show you our new chairs for the ends
of our table!
I ordered them in October, but they just arrived recently.
I moved some pillows from the couch
to fluff them up a bit.


 I love all the visual texture going on in here!



 The room is almost complete.
I'm thinking about a rug, though I wonder if the chair legs won't get caught 
on it moving in and out…


And I'd love a new light fixture!
Currently there is a lighted ceiling fan in here.
It's black with a mosiac glass shade over the light.
We do like it,
but I think the right light will
be just the perfect finishing touch.

But what to pick...?

I did some looking at one of my favorite Athens shops
and founds these contenders:

The light pattern cast by this would be cool,
but maybe too much texture in the room?…

Something clean and simple might be just right…

Then I saw this.

The price tag is a bit hefty, but WOW!
The picture doesn't do it justice.
It's a funky metal showstopper.

Look at the inside!
Just swoony.

Decisions, decisions…

I love everything about these table lamps, too.
The wooden bases, the punched tin shades, the bird finials...


Which ones are your favorites?
I'd love your opinions. :)

  1. What shops? I will have to check this out the next time I am in athens. Your dining room is looking good, and I could sure use some tulips here. It is raining again this morning! Have a blessed week!
