Last weekend after months, no years of browsing stores and catalogs we decided to take the table into our own hands. We've found our style and more so - I've stopped rejecting my roots as a girl who loves herself some distressed pieces that look like they've spent years in a farm house or were rescued from a barn. I grew up in the midwest and I can't deny those county decorating roots - now we try to steer clear from powder blue & mauve and you won't find forest green in our home unless it's Christmas but we enjoy some french country style.
When I saw this table & chair set I knew that it was speaking to me and my kitchen.
I'm a sucker for barn red anyway, so the chairs (and cabinet) drew me in. I also have a weakness for not being "matchy matchy" so this set played to that affinity too! I showed it to the mister and we set out to create our own, much cheaper, PB kitchen set.
Very similar, right?? We'll work on our letter chandelier later (hahaa) & the plates aren't far from hanging on the wall oh and I'm gonna need to be on the look out for a rug like that (that doesn't cost a gazillion $$ :)
yup, these pictures aren't so great - I need to take others, maybe she just wasn't up for the photo shoot
All "falled up" and no place to go ;)
Let's just say we gave our table a face-lift & it looks 30 years older :) The years of pencil pushing, silverware sliding, craft creating, and homework happening around this table gave it just the distressed look we were going for and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!!
