DBB finally comes home

Today we picked up a new dining set, "DBB". Tuboo found DBB on craigslist for a steal of a deal. We're still in shock we got it for such a good price. We found out that its almost a kindof homecoming for DBB as the original owners are from our area. We love the lines on the table and chairs. Can't wait to sand it down and paint! We haven't decided yet if we should go black or buttercream. Black is very classic but if we do buttercream it may highlight DBB's cute features. Perhaps by the end of the week we'll have a before and after for you????

Here are some pics:













i love the detail on the table and chair legs. the chairs are very sturdy and don't creak at all. i can't wait till they are transformed!

IN OTHER NEWS:
I don't think i ever showed you how our fireplace has transformed since we moved in. Here are the before and after pics:

AFTER



Yesterday we made a spontaneous purchase. We were not even planning on buying anything but we found this 'buffet' (I learned the diff between buffet and hutch yesterday as well) and couldn't resist as it matches the irony look and feel of our fireplace cover.





The challenge with it though is how to fill it up. I've put some books in it right now and have to strategically think of how to position items and what items to store in there so to not make it look cluttered. Nevertheless, I love it!
