Dreaming of This....

Yesterday, I took my mom furniture shopping. She has been wanting a new sofa and loveseat for well over a year. She came to visit us yesterday for our community garage sale, so I really had no original intention of going out furniture shopping with her.

Anyway, I've been talking about wanting a new dining room table. Our table is now going on 10 years old, been through 3 infant/toddler/children stages and it shows. I have waited to say to much about wanting a new one because there really was no point when I couldn't trust the kiddos to not gouge the table with their forks. I have no crossed that threshold and am really really wanting a new table. I go back and forth between wanting dark wood or light wood but I think I am settled on how I'm going to redecorate our family room and kitchen. I'm tired of the earth-tone browns. I'm thinking a beach country cottage look with whites and yellows and blues or palms trees with yellows and greens.


Well, I never set out to look at Paula Deen furniture but I fell in love with a dining set at a local furniture store. And here it is, I can dream for awhile anyway....

Wouldn't that be just beautiful in a beach cottage theme??

Now, if I was crafty, I would get the table because it was on a huge discount yesterday - but didn't include the chairs.  I could use my existing chairs and paint them beachy colors to go with the white table.  I did ask my husband about that but he said he isn't good at painting furniture and was afraid we would make a bigger mess in the end....

This would go along so well with it since our family room and kitchen is open to one another:


My house has been neglected for far too long, time to plan some re-painting and save for some new furniture. At least I have a vision now of what I want to do!
