We have been looking for a piece of furniture to add to our dining room to fill a little space and to create more storage room for a while now. I had been eyeing this piece for a little while from Crate & Barrel.
But we already have a lot of dark wood tones in that room so I was a bit hesitant. I was thinking it might be fun to have a piece of furniture that was a color to liven things up.
Yesterday I was at Home Goods and came across this piece. I liked it right off the bat, but didn't know how it would look in the dining room. Nor had I measured the space, so I didn't know if it was the right size. It seemed to be, but I am usually pretty horrible at estimating and spatial reasoning.
I didn't have time to buy it yesterday because I was running late to get somewhere across town, so I decided to go back and pick it up today. I'm glad I did because when I got home, I decided I love it in our house! We didn't want anything big and bulky because it's a small space and we also didn't want that air vent blocked. And it's the right size...victory! I'm excited to decorate the wall space above it. What do you think?
So glad I went with something other than dark wood!
Now I'm off to go clean the house because it looks like a tornado whipped through every floor. A messy house stresses me out. Byeeeee!
Cute :) Is it a redish color? You could always do a chalk-board above it, with some cute bright colored frame . . .maybe an odd shaped on versus rectangular . . .and some cute vase or something with something sparkly in it or greens.
ReplyDeleteYes it's reddish...sorry for the bad iPhone photo. :) I like the chalk-board idea, that'd be fun!
