And the coffee table I chose......

After posting this post below, I decided that the right coffee tale was a square one for this space. Thanks to all those who commented & sent their suggestions, I appreciate it! Remember I said $300 was my budget???

Well, I walked into West Elm on Friday night & was so enamored by this table , I just knew it was the one. I decided to ask the manager if he had any floor samples on sale (which is always a great way to score a deal, if they do) & to my surprise, he said " let me see, I think we may have one in the back that was put together, but never placed onto the floor, if it's still there, I will sell it as a floor model to you."

I kept my fingers crossed until he came out from the back of the store with good news for me. Well, he did! He said that he would sell the table to me for $350 (retail price $499)!!! I thought about my $300 budget, but it seemed like such a good deal to pass & it was in perfect condition, so it is now my new coffee table for the total price of $350!

Thanks again for all the great suggestions!

From My Shop....CUSTOM work

Here's a custom table I just finished for a client. Since my Free Love table design was sold, she requested a similar piece, but with a beautiful black glossy finish. I think it looks even BETTER! Very happy with this outcome & look forward to doing more colorful pieces like this. If anyone is interested in a similar or custom design, pls contact me via my site: MadeByGirl.

Art making a difference

I meant to post this picture for quite awhile now, somehow it got lost in my many folders. However, here it is for all of you to see. This stylish livingroom design by the awesome Kelly Wearstler, was featured on the front cover of 'Western Interiors and Design Magazine' in the Oct 2006 issue. (Also one of my favorites) I absolutely adore the painting on the wall behind the chesterfield sofa....which is on my list of 'next sofas to buy'. I think art is essential and makes such a difference. This painting happens to be very simple (Green & Charcoal) , yet makes quite a statement. I enjoy that aspect. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!
