In a furniture dreaming frenzy
Posted on | March 31, 2009 | 9 Comments
Now that we have moved and are getting settled, I am dreaming of new furniture to fill our huge living room. It absolutely has to be fairly afforable (think Ikea). Here’s a piece I keep thinking about (they also have yellow which is bad ass but I have an old table I plan on painting yellow/marigold so it would be yellow overload around here).
I’d love to cover one of the drawers or maybe both cabinets in a fun and contrasty black and white pattern. Like this.
I’d use it to display my small, but growing typewriter collection with a variety of vintage beauties.
I’d finish off with a vase of fresh flowers (like these from Martha).
A person can dream, right?

There’s nothing wrong with a yellow overload! but I do like that table in black, it’s very cute.

It really is gorgeous and the contrasting paper would kick it up a notch.
