My newest Craigslist purchase


Craigslist is a FANTASTIC place to look for cheap, yet great pieces. These four chairs I bought for $70. The previous owner wasn't exactly sure where she got them, but when I walked into her condo a few blocks away from me, I knew she had expensive taste. 

This is my dining room. Originally, when Nick (my fiance) and I looked at our apartment, this room was a second bedroom. Since I have a small place, and didn't have an eat-in-kitchen, we transformed this room into a dining room. Took off the door, painted the walls, and created a beautiful eating space. I wanted our dining room to resemble a bistro. Fun, cute, and French-inspired. 

I mix-matched my light wood table with my black-wrought iron chairs and placed a center piece with some added color. I like to keep my rooms to three colors. More than three, it gets to be too much. My dining room colors: black, beige, and orange. The wall color is Ralph Lauren Tangier Island. A perfect color to blend with the orange.
