Corners of our Home - Where we eat!

I love when people show corners of their homes...it has helped me tackle design issues with the approach of "a little here...a little there" and i quite enjoy the pace of that!

This corner has been coming together over the course of the year and 5 months we have lived here. we didn't have a table for a while and then came the need to get one and luckily we found this one at a garage sale in San Jose for $5...i love it! Bryan spray-painted it and may have sanded it...but that is it! steel bottom and wood top and it fits perfect in the little spot...pretty soon we'll need 5 chairs! I love this little corner because we spend so much time here and it is quite comfortable...but also because it mixes a lot of my favorite elements - thrifted, vintage, modern, handmade...a big jumble of ideas that somehow seem to fit together!

Totally had the same mums, in a jar, on our table, when you posted this. Forgot until just now.
