During my intermittent medical exams on the couch, I've been surfing the web for furniture and am trying to envision my new house and decor. Of course I've done this already, (the week we arrived in Alabama)-but the house has been delayed so much it seems like forever ago and I've forgotten items I had found. It's hard when all my stuff is in storage and am trying to remember what color green it was on the new upholstery fabric I bought to re-do the dining room chairs. And, how can I make my dining room look like this.
I really wanted to get out and look at an office furniture store in Huntsville, even printed off directions and everything....although I don't know if I'd find anything, I just keep coming back to this beautiful Pottery Barn piece I want for the den.
These chairs I think will go nicely with my kitchen table, but how do I know for sure, if I can only order them online and not see them in person?
Do I go with black, white or wood bar stool for the kitchen? There will be black granite with white cabinets/stainless appliances...Mark likes the swivel bar stools and I say yuck. I kind of like these:
And finally do I go with black accent pieces in the great room...I've never had black, but think it might tie in the kitchen (it's all open).
Well, this post just took up some time of boredom....Mark just called and said he'd be home within the hour...yeah!
We may be headed to Birmingham or Nashville tomorrow....that is our plan. Happy Friday, have a great weekend!

Kim, please take it easy. I'm glad you listened to your body and lounged today.
I have absolutely no decorating sense -- you've seen my house -- so I can't be any help. I've seen swivel bar "chairs" that have backs. I think it would be nice to be able to turn in them.

Oh my, your house is going to be lovely!! Wish I knew when I was going to see it.
We are needing a new dining room table that will seat everyone and I am having a similar dilemma. Do I get something that will last forever (and pay that kind of price) or do I get something that will work for a while but might not be as study. One day I think one thing and the next day I find something that I like that is the opposite.
I, too, have had many days lounging! Only I wish I had a little best friend to take care of me and talk to!
We have a few swivel bar chairs that have backs and they are great. If you are going to get the swivel kind I would recommend something with a back. ALL of your pictures are beautiful and I can not wait to see what the finished product looks like!
No matter what you do, it is going to be lovely, I just know it. I have no clue when it comes to decorating!! No even an ounce of a clue! I thought all your ideas sounded great. Loved the green dining room. I too am glad you listened to your body and lounged around today. Grant is such a good boy!! I love that he is a snuggler. Have a great weekend.
LOVE the dining room. don't love the idea of swivel bar stools. Hope you're feeling better. Have fun wherever you go tomorrow!!
Sounds like some of my days.. Grant sounds similar to Jeremy, and yup- I agree, best friends. Good decorating ideas! :)
