Nope, I haven't yet painted my table & chairs or chosen fabric for the chairs. I have bought 5 yards of burlap but for some reason I bought it in an ivory tone. Maybe I'll stencil it. Maybe I'll dye it with coffee (can that be done?). Maybe it will sit there for another year, who knows.
My latest decision that I have not yet made and I bet won't make for a while yet is which storage solution I want to use on the big wall in the kitchen. I made a couple of mock-ups (terrible photoshop skills) hoping it would help...but it hasn't yet.
I like the idea of shelves because the baby won't be able to get to them. But hanging shelves and I are not really friends, and I can imagine that everything will get dusty. However, I have a ton of white porcelain serving dishes and such that I'd love to get out of the cabinets.
A glass cabinet would be nice because they're so pretty (that is, if I can find one I actually do like at a price to match). The cabinet would take some floor space, but not much; however, with a 160 pound Great Dane who likes to walk around with us, clearance between furniture is quite important. I taped it out on the floor and it seems doable.
Just haven't the slightest what I should do. I'd like to get it all done so I'd quit wondering about it, have my kitchen cabinets cleared out a bit (I absolutely despise the sound of clanking pots when I need to start dinner), and can't take looking at the oak table any longer. Anybody out there have an opinion? Experience to share? Help!
