Improvements

Improvements

Home improvements to be honest keep us working.  We have a list of what we need to do and then I have a list of what I want for our home or yard.  Pinterest is a grand tool but I pin away, when I make time to log on, and there the ideas sit.

This year, we added two very comfy and beautiful chairs to our dining room. John wanted chairs we could sit, that were not in the family room. The distance would allow us to talk or read while others could watch television in the family room.

The buying experience, rather the material decision, was a challenge. We loved the chairs - England - made in the USA. Choosing a fabric - color, correct sized pattern, pattern or solid - but I kept going back to one pattern. After two trips to the store, John said, "you keep picking that pattern so let's go with that."  I agreed and then I questioned my choice. Would the colors and pattern work with our dining room and kitchen?  I always get so nervous about design. I know what I like and so far, it has created a homey, warm house. 

Well, the chairs were delivered a few months ago and I have to say, I still love them!  Obviously I did a fair job as my mother-in-law raved over them - pattern, style, etc. She was so impressed, she was going to go furniture shopping. 

So what do you think? (Not that it really matters....)

Here is a closeup of the pattern  - love the colors.
