On Saturday, M and I got the furniture bug. We read in the WaPo that Danker in Crystal City was having a Stickley furniture sale. Both of us love Arts & Crafts/Mission style furniture, and Stickley is well made, and mostly affordable. We ended up buying the table pictured below, it's called the Harvey Ellis Table, it has mission-y enlays in each corner. Its a roomy 44 inches wide at the ends and 6ft long without extension. With two 15 inch extenders it
We chose these arm chairs, with a different fabric, of course. It's also in Cherry, very close to the shade for the cabinets. 
This is the Tulip Fest carpet M and I bought about 2 years ago, it's in storage. We love the colors in it; burgundy, sage, gold...so we're kind of sticking with this palette.
I thought you'd like seeing these...tonight, Thursday, June 11th, we're meeting our Commonwealth Designer Extraordinare, Melissa Chernick, at a furniture store that we found called, BIF. It's in Fairfax, VA and when we went through it on Sunday we really liked what we saw, its very contemporary. We're in the market for a sofa set. Melissa is going to help us with our choices.
S'all for now,

The table and chairs are lovely! I like the rug, too. Where will the rug go? Dining room or living room?
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely love our stickley. We even have a Harvey Ellis rocker. Great choices for the new addition!

Mark, the rug will go in the new space, living room area. We ordered 2 loveseats and 2 arm chairs yesterday at BIF, both in leather. The loveseats are a light brown/tan, the chairs are an eggplant color.
