Are you like me, that this time of year makes you want to re-do a room or two? Spring is in the air.... (not if you look out my window to see snow or the fact it's 29 degree's out)....in my mind I can see daffodils, tulips, sunshine...you get the idea. My dining room is on the hit list for a low cost change!
The best advice I got from a friend years ago, was to purchase some key quality items then mix and match with less inexpensive accessories. Rarely do I pay full price for something....as you know I love to find things at tag sales, flea markets, local junk stores and one of my favorites TJ Maxx!
OK.... my red slip covered parson chair in the dining room are the best. I had to have them years ago and oops, I did pay full price. I think the red is great, but I've had the longing to neutralize the space. I decided to peel back the trusty red slip cover and to my amazement and surprise there's the color I want. Hello neutral beige! This only tells you that I didn't remember what they looked like prior to purchasing them and clearly I never had taken them off-nope, not even once to wash! I was thrilled with what I saw...off to TJ Maxx for some accessories. I found the runner and center pineapple thingy there...loved the boldness yet simplicity of the runner, the welcoming and brightness of the pineapple.
