Dining Room Bench Update

Wow!

When I asked for help with my dining room bench,
close to 140 of you came to the rescue!

Thank you, thank you, thank  you !

Y'all are officially amazing, and I've read each and every great suggestion.

Right now, I'm leaning towards either painting it black or gray,

or even leaving it as is.

I no longer have the desire to paint it white, and I think I have you guys to thank for that.

So, after digging through my stash at home
and even raiding my booth,

I headed back to the house with textiles in hand
and incorporated some of your ideas

into the room.

Here's what I came up with...

I figured ya just can't go wrong
with Grandma's blue and white ticking, right?

And the lovely white linen above the pillows?

A pillowcase.

Shhhh, don't tell. I'm pretending like it was made for that spot.

So I decided to go with the blue and white color scheme, largely because

there's already a lot of blue and white
going on just across the way in the kitchen...

And I listened to all of you who suggested I bring in some darker pieces to balance the bench...

I fetched one of my beloved bentwood chairs from my booth

and it looks right at home.

And so concludes Monday's update.

As I've said before, be sure to check back often
as I mix it up at the new homestead!

Off to watch the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars  now!

Have a wonderful week!
