Concrete Table Top + a GIVEWAY!

Meet my new kitchen table. I love it! I saw it here first. Ashley is an incredibly talented photographer and DIY genius. When you get a few free hours, go ahead and start reading her blog, Under the Sycamore. Then you are going to need a few (ha!) more free hours so you can do all of her projects. I was able to participate in one of her SnapShops last year and I learned so, so much.

Ashley had her table done by these talented people. Kara and Tim design and build incredible things. Really, just check out Kara's blog. too (again, you'll need some time because you won't want to stop reading!). Don't miss the pictures of her home. Amazing. Oh, and while you are there, you can enter a pretty fun giveaway! :)

So, you may notice that I have no chairs with the table. Actually, I do, but I pulled them out for the picture. My old chairs just don't work with this table.

I'm thinking maybe these (the plain metal) from Pottery Barn:


or these from Ikea:

or these (a little darker than this, in burnt oak) from Restoration Hardware:

Or these from CB2:

What's your vote? Please let me know if you have any other suggestions! Don't forget the giveaway at Kara's blog!

Fall Picnic in Orange

I love Fall. It's been in the 100s here most of this week.
I love Fall. Did I already say that? I think the heat must be getting to me.
Anyway, my "Fall Picnic" treasury was on the front page very early the other morning. I posted it above, you know, in case you aren't usually browsing Etsy at 5am!
Oh, and I love Fall, don't you?
