A very bare dining room

Here's a peek at our (empty) dining room.....
















We haven't found anything that we love for this room and I honestly don't think we'll use it very often. So I decided to try Craigslist for some old furniture that we could re-purpose.

It took a while, as I can't seem to find anything on our local CL. I sent Mike & my brother (with his truck) to look at a table and hutch and here's what they came back with.......

























(there's a leaf as well)














(Oh, here's the drawer)




I was quite surprised to see these lovely stars. They were definately not in the picture I saw online.













Mike assured me that we could fill them and you'd never know they were there.

Here's what they look like now......


































Now that the boring part is done, I get to decorate and make it look pretty. :)
I really want chairs like these...........

  2. I love finding things on Craig's List! Good for you! It has to be so fun to get to go out and look for all these new things for a brand new room! Enjoy! :)
