I'm visiting from Thrifty Decor Chick'...Hi!<br /><br />I'm visiting from Thrifty Decor Chick's blog. I think the new coffee table with storage is the perfect size for your furniture and the room, and the white lightens things up. Isn't it amazing how a piece of wood furniture can change the entire character of a room? I find your room much more sophisticated looking now, and yet still a little bit country/a little bit eclectic casual. The banjo should stay somewhere in the room, highlighted in a special way, if you opt to move it from over the sofa at some point. It's a piece that has history and means a lot to you, and so it should be show-cased!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-77282920490714575472012-02-07T20:25:41.458-05:002012-02-07T20:25:41.458-05:00This looks really nice..great redo!

I haven't seen that one at IKEA yet. <br /><br />I have so many projects that I am currently paralyzed by the idea of the time and financial effort it would take to accomplish them.

Then your husband can have an "heirloom" piece and you can have the affordability!

Plus the white gives you all kinds of options--a perfect place for mixing up all kinds of different styles, according to what feels good to you at the time!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.com
