I think as I mentioned above that it is more of a puzzle when you want to keep everything in and try to find a place for it. I have often dreamed of starting from scratch (with a nice new couch) and building up from there, which is pretty much what you suggest, and I know its the only way to make the room look 'right'. That is kind of what my Aunt Daphne does whenever she moves and consequently her place always looks straight out of a magazine. Hmmmm, maybe it is time to start thinking of craigslist - I already did have to sell my gorgeous Chinese elm butterfly cabinet because it was just too big for this narrow space (at least I know it went to a good home). :) Back to the drawing board! And for you Shannon, I will fix the chairs. ;pLisaMackaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702422346863439814.post-28898054230766809722011-09-29T07:03:10.002-06:002011-09-29T07:03:10.002-06:00Thank you Caroline!

I especially like the brown cabinet in the dining room and love the addition of the little kid's table.carol-inehttp://twitter.com/helloambitionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702422346863439814.post-61340904196016905532011-09-28T15:51:06.122-06:002011-09-28T15:51:06.122-06:00I like the table that way!
