A real breakfast nook.

Several months ago I found this table at an antique store. I had been looking for a small, bistro sized table that I could fit in my akward round room. At first glance it's not really my style but I love mixing styles together...makes for a much more interesting space. So myself and the other two shop owners heave-ho'd this thing in to my car. (It's small but the base is some kind of VERY HEAVY metal and the top is marble).

I sprayed the base gray, added a mirror to open up the room a bit and now I've saved myself 10 steps (one way) from treking to the real dining room.

My professional photographer friend, Michelle, came over with her phat camera and took some pics of my entire house. Here's one of them:

Thanks Michelle...Here's to the future Michelle-Squared (one day).

Love it. Those stripes get me every time!

Also enjoyed seeing a sneak peak of your bedroom on All the best today. I would know that starburst mirror anywhere!!

holy moly...your house is amazing! love the wall most of all, then the mirror behind the table (must really extend the space) and then that smashing table and chairs! you've got really great taste!

i love this...adding the mirror is such a nice touch. you know what - you've inspired me to start my own blog about my decor dilemmas. i am such a novice compared to you but hoping it will be a fun project for me while i'm on bedrest. http://www.bedrestlessness.blogspot.com
