My New Baby

After a bit of price negotiation and an, ahem, interesting time trying to realize if we could fit her in my husband's car, she's mine.

Please meet our new dining room addition.


She'll be showcasing all of our pretties -- our crystal, our vintage plate wedding cake stands, and a few others.

Only issue now is that I think my rectangular dining room table is too large.  Maybe time to sell it and look for a round table?

Gotta love the home purchase domino effect.

Has this phenomenon happened to you -- you buy something new and then realize an old item will simply no longer work?

    Love it! We need something like that for our crystal and china. and yeah - we're in the process of picking out a couch and i just know that we're going to need a different bookcase and coffee table once thats done.

    Um yes, daily. And the whole 'fit' thing is a great way to justify new purchases. It's LOVELY! How did you find her?

    Yes, this happens to me all the time. The husband loves the effect, of course. Your new piece is absolutely stunning. :)

    i want a china cabinet so bad; i love the one you found!

    word of advise from a circle- dining-room-table-owner: if you can avoid them, do! you'll never find cute tableclothes, and place settings always look funny (<--adult priorities, obv.lol.)

    I love it girl! Super cute. I get the same way once I start shopping for furniture and decor. Is that the shop in South End? {the name has left me...} Anyway, I'm sure it will look fabulous and that you will MAKE it fit :)
