ongoing living room saga

A blogging friend, Heidi from The Cranberry Chronicle Continues, suggested

that I move the console table in front of the window and the tall black table
 under the mirror where the console table used to be.  I tried it out, and here's
 what it looked like. The cats loved their new perch! 

I actually liked this new arrangement but...

it didn't look good in the evening once I had to close the blinds.

The blinds are wooden and with them closed, the window area was

simply a big, boring mass of brown.

So, like I mentioned in my post two days ago, I did a lot of furniture

rearranging, and I moved the console table into my bedroom.

All I have in front of the window now is a white plant stand and the black chair. 

What I really want for this area is a drop-leaf table and a couple of chairs.

 My inspiration picture for the table and chairs comes from KariAnne at Thistlewood Farms.

 I could SO picture something like this in front of my living room window!

I was at a local antique mall today and spied a beautiful drop-leaf table like

the one above, but instead of being cottage-like and distressed, it was restored to its

original, beautiful condition and the price was $195. Ha! Of course, I didn't buy it.

Well, stay tuned. Who knows what might be in front of that window tomorrow, the

way I change things around!
