Small space, big ideas

Greg and I are moving into a beautiful apartment up in Massachusetts, about 15 minutes north of Boston.  It is a big and bright place with a spot for a dining room!  First things first, we need a table!  I've found one I love at Crate & Barrel, however the price is not always right at that store.  The color of the wood is just so pretty!  Ideally, I would like to have a table with 2 chairs on one long side and a bench on the other long side.  The way the dining area is set up it allows for a bench to fit perfectly.  The look of the bench would just add a different feeling to the dining area.  It would make it a little more laid back, which is what I like.  I do not want it to feel all stuck up and hoity toity.  I am also loving the idea of putting a big mirror on the wall above the bench (this would be so much easier for you all to imagine if I had a picture of the area I was speaking of.  Soon enough.)  By putting the mirror on this one particular wall, it would make the dining room and living room seem endless!  And of course that is the feeling one would like to achieve in an apartment!  Lastly, I also love the idea of decorating the wall with tons of different pictures in all different types of frames!  What a focal piece and discussion topic.  So many ideas going through this head of mine...now just to find the money to do it all!  I will start small...that's the plan!  Enjoy your Thursday!

  1. I seriously think you should scrap the whole insruance and child care bit and go into interior decorating.

    I don't know what hoity toity is..?? but i want a table that is square with 4 chairs, and doesn't take up space so i can walk around it when not in use. :-D
