I always love when daffodils are for sale at the beginning of spring. They are so bright and sunny! We had a very long, cold, snowy winter here in New England so it's so nice to start to see some signs of spring.
We also have added some new furniture pieces to our dining room. Previously, we only had the dining room table Nick built, but it's a large room and it was feeling very empty. Plus, I really needed storage in there. I had been keeping all my linens, runners and napkins upstairs in the guest room, which really wasn't convenient when setting the table for guests.
We had been searching on craigslist and at the Habit for Humanity Restore for a few months without much luck. We eventually found a vendor who had 10,000 sq. of vintage and antique furniture. Surely, we would find something there! And boy did we! We almost bought a different hutch but when Nick went to pick up the furniture the next day the vendor had just got in a matching mahogany hutch and buffet. Both were in amazing shape and we immediately switch to buy both pieces. The hutch was exactly what we were looking for, something with enough display space and not too ornate. The buffet provided the perfect amount of storage. The mahogany was just so beautiful, hardly a single scratch. I think they are from the 1940's or 50's based on similar pieces I found online. Unfortunately, neither piece had a markers mark.
In the buffet the silverware drawers, lined with velvet, were the perfect size for my napkin rings!
We still have to sand and assemble our church pew seating, hopefully we will finish that in the next few weeks. I also want to find a rug to break up all the wood. Between the furniture, floors and molding, it's a little too much. At least the daffodils are providing some much needed color for now!
