Very pretty

Your chairs are lovely. I had very similar ones but recently gave them to charity. Mine were made in Italy.

Thank you. These were in rough shape and had to be totally redone!

You guys show pics too! I love looking at other peoples homes. Cardinal girl used to post pics of her beautiful house but I haven't seen them in a while.

Me too! It is making a comeback in a big way! I am big into light fixtures too. They make a room i think.

Were they in rough shape because of worn fabric or wobbly legs? The legs on mine started to give out a bit. I am thinking i should have tried to have them repaired instead. I reupholstered them myself. My father gave them to me about 25 years ago and they had sentimental value.

The fabric was very worn to non existent and they had to be totally stripped and repainted. I wanted them to look old and not like a new paint job. Who knew that is more expensive than a regular paint job?lol.. I did have to fix a couple of legs. You sound like me in the sense that you love older furniture. The workmanship is so much better and so much of it can be saved and restored.

Brii, yes it is striped wall paper. It is a light green and darker green. I was watching Barefoot Contessa one day and realized mine was very similar to hers. I think I hijacked it without realizing it.

Croemer, these floors almost killed me. I saw this look in a magazine and I loved the beveled look. The floor guys did not though because it was a pain to do.

My guy loved our floors...which made me happy. I love the beveled look.

I love antiques and all things vintage and grew up with antique furniture but recently have gone in a different direction and my taste now is a bit more contemporary.

When I get all done with this house I will probably do the same! I like to change it up every now and then.
