Mismatched to Sophisticated: Dining Set Transformation
make sure you include a rocking chair or two! We use to have a wood frame with removable square cushions, 3 for the back and 3 for the seats, in a denim or canvas fabric. Plenty of throw pillows made in country style fabrics like bandana material or gingham. Solid furniture you can put your feet up on. Pine or Oak, nothing fancy. Solid end tables. Rustic lamps using a water pump, milk can or watering can as the lamp with wiring and a shade. I used to have an old spinning wheel and a butter churn in my home when we decorated country style. How fun are you!
Thank you very much for reply! I will surely take into consideration! I'm going all out timeless and Country as possible now that I am remodeling and redoing most of my home and yard ! Hope to get pics posted when all is finished!
