Another weekend spent painting the dining room, and now it’s finished. I learned from last week’s mistakes and discovered some painting best practices that made this afternoon much smoother than the first round. For instance, did you realize that painting tape actually works?
I did not intend to use the pink/melon like color in the dining room, but it matched my placemats so well, and those fabulous glasses I found at the Animal Ark Thrift store up the street from me. At $1 a piece, how can you miss?
Another great find at the thrift store was the (super cheap) Pink Croco Embossed Pet Carrier that I’ve been wanting since I stumbled on it at PetCo months ago, but didn’t feel like paying the nearly $40 for it. I looked it over extremely well, and it’s in perfect condition. Apparently dropped off at the thrift store because it didn’t work for the original owner’s pet the way she thought. Awesome. Totally my gain.
To complete my dining room, I am looking for at least two simple retro-looking, shiny silver metal chairs. I’m not too picky on the cushions because I can always have them covered. If anyone has any ideas on where I should start that search, other than craigslist (because I’m on there everyday), please let me know!
