In a shocking twist of events, I actually made a decision and followed through with it.
After looking at this lovely blog earlier this week, I was completely smitten with their living room rug. I scrolled through the comment section, and luckily found the link to the exact rug. I showed the photos to John and he gave it his stamp of approval. Never have I been so sure of a thing at first glance.
It was a splurge. But I realized we've been in this house for almost 2 years now and have yet to purchase a piece of brand new furniture besides a mattress and a desk chair. I also realize that a rug is not a piece of furniture, but it may prompt me to make our home a little more inviting and cozy.
One month til delivery!
Up to my usual indecision.
So, the dining room. What are we doing in there?
Ideally we would like a Parsons table with mix and match chairs...

But maybe something lighter than the dark wood. A limed finish?

But the lack of limed Parsons tables on the internet has me paralyzed. Especially since I could basically get everything in that photo with a quick click over at West Elm. But I kind of want to hold out for something cooler, like the limed finish... or a zinc table top.
Then we have the light. I found these options which maybe could be cool:
What I like is the non-chandelier-y element of these fixtures. No fake candles, no leggy branches. They are all pretty affordable and statement-making pieces. Which I think will compliment the plain look of the Parsons table.
What do you think?
Um, yeah... 3 continents spanning 18 time zones over these past 3 weeks. China, New Jersey, Italy, now back in New Jersey.
So excuse the lack of posts!
I am deep into editing about 800 photos from Italy, but in the meantime I leave you with these:
Salame e Formaggi
Biscotti (per la mamma mia!)
Will definitely be updating soon!
