The Kitchen Chair Decision

The Kitchen Chairs
We had some of Dave's coworkers and their families over to watch football on Sunday and it was a pretty good time. Even my introverted-self went all out and did the small-talk thing, mostly because it was so refreshing to have adult conversation in my kitchen with someone other than my Mom or husband.

Anyway, one of the wives fell madly in love with my kitchen chairs. Take them! I all but packed them into her car to bring directly home with her.

Yes, I have fallen out of love with my kitchen chairs. The main issue isn't so much their comfort, because they are passably comfortable, it's they don't push in under the table. And it's that untidiness that is making me hate them.

I want the chairs to all push nicely under my table. Is that so much to ask?

A few weeks ago, I'd started looking around for some options and thinking about what colors I'd want to see. And playing with the idea of dropping these chairs on craigslist and see who picks them up. But, now I had an interested buyer sitting in them! Perfect.

So here are my current favorite options. I'm pretty sold on white, but if I can find bright yellow, I'd be a bit happier:

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room.

A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
