With the kitchen walls and most of the trim painted, we are taking a bit of a breather before launching into the massive and certainly paintful process of painting all our kitchen cabinets. My Dad had the nerve to ask "Are you going to paint the inside?" Um, hell no! No one needs to see the inside...the doors will be shut. We want the project to take one weekend not one entire month!
In the meantime I have been doing a bit of craigslist shopping with no luck what so ever. Somewhere in the last few months or so I have developed a fondness for mid-century furniture pieces. I am not certain if my love for danish modern is shared by J, but we will soon find out if I can find a piece that is both affordable and stylish.
We are looking for a coffee table for the living room and also a low credenza for our flat screen. Here are a few items I think might fit the bill though I have an inkling that the style may have never made it to Indiana!
I have to admit that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first credenza. I was hoping that we could get something similar made to hide our washer/dryer but I dont know what we'll end up with just yet. Personally, I think the elevated furniture makes the room look larger and I find myself drawn to raised dressers for the bedroom as well.
Isnt this just gorgeous?
And this one - I am not too certain its practical and I am fairly certain J would totally hate it - is completely wonderful and my sweaters would look perfect in it!
I know some of you are thinking about how you chucked a coffee table just like that one about 25 years ago or how you couldnt wait to get a dresser with fancy metal nobs or pulls rather than the plain front danish models. I find the clean lines of scandinavian furniture pleasing and am not a fan of cabinet hardware, probably because there is so much ugly stuff out there, so these pieces are just what I am looking for.
Maybe something like this is next???
