I got a second surprise today. My block print came from Sara Elizabeth Block Printers! Love, love! I ordered “Whiting Factory” (below) in a large panel piece for just $32.50. My sister ordered the lobster print (above) and was able to get it framed for about $300. The lobsters look great in her family room. I am thinking of getting my piece framed in a antique wood frame. I want to order a dozen more. Great gift! Check out more: sarah-elizabeth-shop.com.

I received some gorgeous ikat fabric from Uzbeck Alive today. I ordered three pieces to check out the quality and color of the fabric for possibly use for some pillows. The textile is top quality and really beautiful. I did have a problem with my postman and my fabric got sent back. Uzbeck Alive immediately e-mailed me and resent the fabric absolutely free within just a few days. Great service! How cute is the package it came in (above)? Check out their store here: uzbekalive.com.

Dining Chairs: Classic Shapes

windsor chairs 735128 Dining Chairs: Classic Shapes

I’ve been thinking about what I would like our new dining room to look like. The house is so old that I feel like I need to go with an older classic style. I’ve been eyeing these two styles. Above are antique Windsor chairs that appear August issue of Martha Stewart. I love the simple shape and black finish. I did a quick search and found chairs ranging from $300-$30,000 for individuals and sets. Windsor chairs are classic Americana. Depending on age and set size the price increases.

The chairs below are from my favorite classic kitchen from domino. I’ve been dreaming of the blue penny round tiles in my kitchen for days. The rare set of Thonet Bentwood chairs look totally dreamy in the space. There are number of different Bentwood styles but this is truly my favorite. A similar style is available at Conran for $275 each. My search begins now!
