Diary Of A Mad Decorator.

As I mentioned, I've been busy redecorating (yes, you heard me, again) around the dining room table my mum shipped up to me. It's gorgeous, and I'm so proud to have it, but it's also been quite the conundrum figuring out how it worked into the scheme of things, until I decided to flop my living and dining areas around. Somehow, it all just worked for me.

I realize at this juncture, you are thinking, this girl is seriously wacko, given the number of times I've changed my decor around. But, please, don't hate me because I'm crazy. Things get added to the room, and wham! you've got to rethink the whole darn thing. It happens, especially when you spend as much time at the flea market as I do. And, I love beautiful things, most of them at bargain prices, so my rooms evolve around the new treasures I find. So, with all that justification and rationalization behind me, here's some pix of the new rooms.

I brightened the room up with lots of fun, new etsy artwork and a new baby Saarinen Side Table. Yummy.

Please be forewarned, I still do not have my perfect dining chairs. I got these four bent wood cafe chairs (four for $25 on craigslist and painted them white) as a temporary fix. I thought that book The Secret was a little overboard, but hey, if I visualize and will some Eames Tulip Chairs my way, and they show up, I'll finally believe that crazy little book of wishful thinking.

Thanks to everyone for all their invaluable advice (whether I took it or not, please don't be offended - remember, I'm sick in the head) and to all the talented etsy artists who have recently contributed to my new little gallery. It's all still a work in progress, but I feel much, much better about it and am no longer losing sleep. I kid you not, people, I become a woman obsessed! But, I guess you figured that out.
