Fantastic Accessory!


Do you ever have an empty space that needs that extra something? Maybe in a bookcase or on top of a sofa table? This company produces book covers with great quotes that run along the binder or simple covers with no quotes to cover your books! (sayitwithbookcovers.com) If you have books that have already been read but you are not quite ready to get rid of this is a great way to utilize them!


What a fantastic accessory in a room!

Fabulous Settees!

I love Settees! There size allows you to fit them in small spaces beautifully while still providing comfortable cozy seating. Both of the settees below would look great in a breakfast nook or corner of a room. Add a small cafe table and a couple of chairs and you have a great intimate seating area for breakfast, coffee with friends and reading area.


Wentworth by Lee Jofa


The Wentworth has a traditional style while the Beverly bench has a quirky fun vintage look to it. Both of them can be jazzed up with fantastic patterned fabric or toned down with a soft simple fabric.

The bookshelf chair!


This chair is very practical and fun all at the same time. There is no need to get up to browse your book titles. You have all your reading needs right there at your seat!

Recently I was asked if your dining chairs need to match your dining table. The function, look and feel of dining chairs is important. Not only do they need to be aesthetically appealing but also comfortable for long amounts of time especially when sitting and enjoying a meal with family and friends. The answer is no. You can choose dining chairs that match your table or pick a set of chairs that match each other but not necessarily perfectly match the dining table. Another choice is a very eclectic mix of chairs. I chose several of my personal favorites that cover various styles. Enjoy!
