Hickory Chair

Beautiful Bowfront Chest with inlaid bordersMaple Serpentine Chest

Love the Lion's Head Pulls!

Happy Housewife recently posted on a new chest for her entryway. I have also been looking for a chest for the top of my stairs. I currently have a skirted table at the top of my stairs, but would love something different. My dining room table, chairs and buffet are from Hickory Chair. I love the quality and craftsmanship, so I have been looking at what they have to offer. They have turned a little more modern in the last couple of years, but I was still able to find some classic and traditional pieces.

Cocktail Party

Here is a picture of my living room with my new coffee table and the french doors leading out to the deck.

This is my screened in porch with the beverage table and of course, napkins from To Bee Named. On some of the napkins, I printed our last name on the other napkins I printed our house number down in the corner. ( i didn't realize my table cover was wrinkled-oops)

Here is the dining room where the food was served.

Here our the snow pea wrapped shrimps and the great fruit tray my friend, Sarah dropped by.

The cocktail party went well. The weather was perfect and everyone was able to enjoy the outdoors. We have a screened in porch off of our living room that connects to our deck, we open the french doors and it works well. I had two items catered-shrimp wrapped in snow peas in a secret sauce and sweet potato biscuits with ham and chutney. I don't eat meat, so I didn't try either one, but it got rave reviews. Several other couples in the cocktail club each brought a dish and they brought some good ones. Thanks to all. Here are some pics of my house-before everyone arrived.

I love this desk!

This chinese red is gorgeous!

I did order this coffee table for my living room. In black outlined in gold.

This dresser could be used in so many places. I love the tone on tone.

This is for my guest room or maybe Miss Priss when she gets a little older.

Perfect for serving drinks, food or for books.

When I was at the New York Gift Show back in Feb., I stopped by this booth and fell in love with this furniture. So, I have a couple of pieces on order and I can't wait. Here are some of my favorites. I picked two pieces and could of purchased many more.
