Mr Rug and Ms Table
3 Aug
You can purchase this Dhurrie Suzani Rug at your local World Market store right now for $79. It’s on sale from $110.
I did. I also purchased an old pedestal table base for $20 at the Long View thrift store, and paired it with a 60 inch round table top that my dad had in storage. Its another great trash score from one of the furniture companies here in town – brand new boxed. Here they are together (Rug and Table). I’m not sure that they will actually stay together – cause the round table kinda wanted to be with a round rug. But they are gonna hang out a little while longer and see if they can work toward a love connection.
The table top and base need a match up refinish job (I have a desire to paint all of my wooden furniture a glossy solid). I suppose that’s what the future holds. It also needs the right chairs (help! what chairs would you put with a big round pedestal table?)
For now I’m just getting a feel for it in my space, and I think its actually too large. Bummer. I guess I’ll have to move into a new house……
We love you. Let us know you were here!

OK, I was pleasantly surprised to see that red chest in there. Chairs-theres no doubt in my mind that IKEA doesn’t have you fixed up here. I like the Gilbert chair or the scoop back chair from West Elm. Let’s talk about the shelves.
Shelves are messy. Whatev. You can help me out with that.
I agree that I need a modern chair, but I took a look at the suggestions and they might be too small. I’m scared the table would just swallow them whole and it’ll look funny.
What about arm rests??
here’s a thought:
next time you are at my house sit in the red metal Pauchard chair sitting in the basement. There is no question that I love these chairs to pieces.
Look at Jessica Helgerson’s portfolio http://www.jhinteriordesign.com/welcome.html, look at her house in Portland, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Wow, your blog is really awesome… I wish the beforeandafterblog.com could keep up to par.

Your blog is pretty awesome. I can’t believe the progress you’ve made on your place since you first started the beforeandafterblog.com.
You really need someone to get on a blog design for you.. What’s up with that? OH, MY BAD….
I always respect a good trash score.
I would never in a million years have thought of the metal chairs, but it works.
BAM!!
