Wanted: one antique marble top French bistro table with a reasonable price tag. The search has been on now for over a year now and my patient self is becoming impatient.

On a completely unrelated note isn't this photo beautiful?!

I snagged this chair at Goodwill last week for $8. Nick took one look at it and thought I was crazy and the chair was well sorta gross. He said the sight of it made him itch. This just fueled my fire to give it a second life. The seat was busted so I traced around the old one and cut it with a jig saw. I basically took everything apart just to see how it was put together and just replicated it with new cushions and fabric (damask on clearance at Hobby Lobby). I got to test out my new handy paint sprayer too. After a little distressing and a clear coat we were good to go. It's on great casters so I plan to use it as my new office chair but until we move it will live in our foyer. Next up the china cabinet!

Just in case you missed Ms. Fosters' catskills victorian shabby shack in the New York Times yesterday... Grab a cup of coffee and buckle up. You're in for a generous dose of eye candy. Cheers to the weekend!
