The Next Chapter

The Blog has been quiet 

for a couple of weeks but for good reason...

Mr. Beaux and I had long talks 

when we were up at the Colorado house 

and we decided then that it was time 

to put the main house back on the market.  

The house is just too large for us 

and the upkeep is too much.  

So, we contacted our Realtors 

and we have been running, 

or sprinting 

as it may be, ever since.  

The house will be listed on the MLS tomorrow.  

Pictures were taken on Friday 

so that was a huge deadline for me.  

We had done a lot of work when we listed last year 

so there was less to do,

but it is still a huge undertaking.  

I'll be showing you a lot of pictures this week 

but I thought I would start with the dining room today.  

My goal at the beginning of the year 

was to "Lighten and Brighten" all of my interior.  

I wanted to recover my dining room chairs 

but something else always seemed more important 

and it dropped to the bottom of the list.  

I found some great Captain's chairs at an Estate Sale 

but when I got there they were already sold.  

Sooooooo, I ordered these chairs 

from Joss And Main. 

Of course they came very quickly in the mail 

and I am not complaining.... 

They just came one day too late.  

We found them on our doorstep Saturday 

and pictures were on Friday.  

Oh well, I love them just the same.  

Here is what it looked like 

when they took the photos on Friday.  

I really think the skirted chairs 

lighten up the space.  

The chairs were only $93.00 each 

which is less than a Parson's chair 

would be at any other major retailer.  

We had to put them together but that was easy.  

The chair seats came with  a hidden Velcro panel 

that held the legs and the hardware.  

Pretty sneaky...

After the assembly and some ironing 

they were ready to rock and roll!

The best thing is that they are so neutral 

that they can fit in most anywhere.  

I love the Linen color 

and the texture that they have.  

Well worth the price!  

On the back of the chair

 the skirt is secured with buttons 

to give it a polished look.

And, they give me extra seating for Thanksgiving!

Stay tuned for more changes around the house. 

And wish me luck!

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
