I'd rather have my old Chicago apartment back, but that's not going to ever happen.
My house is a white clapboard, green shutters, Greek Revival, with Corinthian columns, center hall design, with three fireplaces.
Don't covet; make your place your very own and be happy in it! :-)
I love, love LOVE wing chairs and have seven of them now. LOL
My mother had them too and I was going to have them too, come hell or high water! :-)
My kiddo felt the same way and has two gorgeous ones.
I don't know if they're still in business, but COLONIAL HOME magazine will make you covetous even more, but you'll learn a lot!
Sadly, they don't make furniture like they used to, which is why I just get older stuff recovered. :-)
For a first apartment, get a GOOD sofa, because you'll be sitting on that, most of the time! Choose colors that you LOVE and build on that pallet. If you ever need help, just drop me a note in FREEmail! :-)
You are so SWEET!! I know more how I want it to feel but not how that translates into ‘look’.
I do recall reading Colonial Homes in the past; I think I shall be hitting up the bookstore this weekend!
