michigan art finds

Steve and I have some art for the new kitchen & half-bath on the way...

We bought three of these below in Glen Arbor. (First column, second down. Third column, fourth down. Fourth Column, 2nd down.). We had the paint swatches with us and they will match great. Pictures to come once we have them up!



More exciting (but w/o photo) we acquired a piece by Steve's grandmother Carolyn. It is a lovely painting of lilacs (taken straight from one of her bookcases!) and will match the kitchen perfectly.

Table and BED!

So we got our new kitchen table together and ready and we love it. It is as big as possible and still keeps the flow ok in the room, which is ideal. We also now can look at our backyard which is an added perk.






Also, thanks to our tax free weekend here in MA, Steve and I decided to purchase a bed we had seen a few months ago. It will be nice to not have our mattress on the floor anymore! For less than the cost of one from pottery barn, etc. we got this that is made in Vermont (by hand no less) and is solid cherry!

Ordered a table

Well, I am not sure what it will look like in person since they don't have it at the store, but this is the table we ordered for the kitchen. It is a little bigger than I would have liked for the space, but it is counter-height which will make it more functional. Also, since the stools push all the way under it should feel the same size as a smaller table with chairs. (At least that is my current logic!)



PS - After speaking with friends who have the same problem trying to find a small table for a small kitchen, we should all start a company making them! There is virtually no selection out there.
