mmmm..beer and funnel cakes and furniture

[vernacular_life]

had a loverly weekend - Saturday was our day at Artscape and ended at friend's party.  I always expect the worst from artscape, so when it wasn't horrible, it was good. (make sense??)  Probably having a friend working at the beer sales area helped, especially since they count cups, not quantity left in the truck.  A few Blue Moons later, we didn't mind the crowds at all.  Saw about 45 minutes of the Drive By Truckers, munched on a funnel cake, bought a very cool photo from an Atlanta artist (I'll get his name tonight & post the print)...all-in-all, a good summer art fair experience.

Sunday, we did some Dining Room shopping, ending up empty handed.  We're searching for that balance of timeless-yet-not-stuffy, modern-yet-not-glass and chrome, reasonably priced-yet-not cheap veneer.  Rooms like this look nice, but not us.   I'm so picky as to what we get that it may be a few years until we get a table, chairs & buffet/hutch to replace what we have existing.  (gah.  HATE the way that that paint shows up.  Must look into doing a paint effect over it - maybe ragging a burgandy over it?) 

I like this  round table from Pottery Barn, but dunno about it in our space.  Square tables and tall 'gathering tables' are definately out.   I'm bouncing between a rectangular table and an oval (LUSTING over this one in Java).  I'm still in love with the idea of a parsons table from Room and Board with a copper top,  but Judd wasn't too keen on it.  (Even I would want to see it in person before we bought it.)    Maybe I should just find a hutch/buffet I like and work backwards...*sigh*  Regardless, we both fell in love with Leather Parsons chairs, so at least that decision is done....

photos from this weekend to follow tonight!

I'm always surprised by how much patience furniture shopping requires... I love those chairs, and the PB table.

Yum, we have been on a real Blue Moon kick lately. Do you drink yours with an orange slice?

The chairs are gorgeous!

My parents were just talking about a funnel cake they had at an art fair not too long ago. I haven't had one in a long time.

Love all your dinning room ideas! The parsons chairs are fab! Our dinning room was the first room we've completely finished. We love entertaining in there! :)

Ah, I will be partaking in some funnel cake in a day or two! Yummers!
