xxxx: Condo Update: Dining Space....almost done

I finally feel like I have landed....somewhere
&

It feels very cozy and bright, especially when the sun is shining!
Like today

I managed to convince the buyer of our previous house that this huge faux bamboo cabinet was too big and that she would be much happier with it gone...so it came home to my new "temporary home"...with me!
Yea!

The lack of storage in the kitchen has made this cabinet even more important.

The dining chairs are a favorite...from Mainly Baskets called the
Eastern Shore Boardwalk Chair

The cushions are done in a pretty linen floral, called Tokyo Rose from Bennison

Bennison florals have a tea stained, vintage look to them and they layer beautifully with other fabrics, especially English and vintage inspired stripes

The blue shutters came from Capital Salvage another favorite e-bay-er
(Is that a word?)
I love to use salvage as art and here it really draws you away from all of the beige shutters, walls, etc

A very cool dining table,
from Noir Furniture
It consists of two big steel slabs, with bolts and screws,
that sandwich a heavy piece of salvaged wood.

It took three guys and a girl (me) to bring in and set up
&
I doubt I was much help...in fact I was no help at all!

The base is an adjustable "screw thingy"
And is also heavy steel.

I put my toaster lamps in the cabinet and found another interesting floor lamp to add some ambient light for working or for dinner.
And yes those are old shovels in the corner...
A new collection...yep shovels!
