I LOVE how you decorate and the things you painted are awesome! I would never have thought of putting the beadboard doors on a shelf, they look like they totally belong there. Love how you turned the desk into your coffee table. I 'cheated' and bought a new coffee table and side tables because I wanted ones with a shelf underneath. I got white so I can distress them. I'll be broke forever while paying them off but doing without some extras such as being able to eat will be well worth it. ;-D <br />I love the chair next to the Ethan Allen table, I need to find a 'new' sofa and chair and this time I want ones without T-cushions because it's easier to find slipcovers for them. The secondhand ones I have were given to me and my cats have 'distressed' them a bit too much. <br />Oh, and I love how you created your entertainment center. I really need to visit your blog posts more regularly, you have lots of great ideas I could 'borrow'. Thanks for sharing.
