Change is good...

Notice anything different?

I got a new taller side table! It was really bothering me to have a shorter table on the other side of the couch. I could only stack so many books to get the lamps to be the same height. Most of my books are still in boxes so I just grabbed what I could find for now.

I love the look of these accordion/campaign tables and will probably get a smaller round one for my family room. This one was from Kirklands and it is still on sale. I would probably only get it at the sales price though it's not the sturdiest piece but not flimsy either.

One question though....do I have too many leggy pieces or X's in the room? I can move the x-benches to another room. If I do that I think I still want to find some way of having another pair of stools or something to act as coffee tables, I like the extra seating.

Here are some other rooms with fabulous tables like these...

Beautiful rooms, all of them! I love the way this seemingly simple table brings in some structure and masculinity to a space!

HGTV On The Set

Have you heard of the show On the Set by HGTV? It is being hosted by the fabulous Emily Henderson  (who wrote a fabulous blog post the other day involving Ryan Gosling and gray paint....but I digress)

In the show they go through some of your favorite TV show sets (Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, to name a few...) and you get to hear from the set designers and others on the show tell you how they set up the sets and help bring more of the characters to life. I found it really really interesting and fun to watch, especially the one on Middle Family (I have never seen an episode but making that set looked like FUN!). I know I will never look at some of my favorite shows the same way again!

Check to see when it is on in your town!

Price tag on or off??

I am that girl with clothes in her closet that still have price tags on them. I'm just trying them out, seeing how they work with the rest of my clothes. Sometimes I make the decision in time to return them....other times, not so much. Now this is a little harder to do with home decor items which brings us to...

Price tag on or off?

Today's example is the ever versatile garden stool.

That one is from Z Gallerie

Here is mine from Ross

(sorry for the poor photo quality it was late and I was excited to share!)

Not an exact replica but pretty close. It is not as vibrant as the Z Gallerie one (more of a muted turquoise which is OK by me)

Now I was not actively looking for one of these, nor do I know exactly where it will go. But I saved $90...

Price tag on or off?

Here are some interiors to help you make your decision....

They are beautiful as stools for extra seating in a living room...

Accent tables or additional seating in a pinch...

Or as they were originally used for outdoors...

Let me know what you think?
