It is amazing the difference taking out the chair rail and turning the table has made.<br /><br />As for decorating, I don't really know what to do.

I did it for my bedroom and dining room bc we have 9 windows in just those 2 room. And if you need Americana decor im your girl, my mother in laws house was all Americana/country. Let me know if i can help at all!.Maria Mundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557493101343065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-39588301244482224382011-01-24T16:43:13.484-05:002011-01-24T16:43:13.484-05:00Jenn, thanks!

You never steer me wrong! :)<br /><br />Ann & Hope has red checkered curtains for a good price. I'm thinking of doing pairs and NOT putting shades up. The kitchen gets a lot of sunlight so I want to take advantage of that.<br /><br />With red curtains sort of flanking the barn star, would you do a red star or blue? The base of the table and chairs will be black so I don't think a black star is a good idea. And the soft white window trim kind of frames that wall space so I don't think a creamy white would work. But I'm afraid red (with red curtains) would be too much.<br /><br />Ha! Ha! If men only knew how much thinking went into decorating, they'd run screaming for the hills. :)Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-7176683423085144442011-01-24T16:34:43.244-05:002011-01-24T16:34:43.244-05:00That looks great!

I have a magazine that gives me inspiration and I love browsing countrystylehome.com. <br />I love the idea of the barn star & a plaque above it. Dayspring may have something on clearance or reasonably priced.<br />Look on etsy too. Might find some nice rugs.<br />Oh- if you search the "live, laugh, love" that seems to be a popular country theme.<br />Can't wait to see the finished product!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851714454350484299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-73343628784128949532011-01-24T15:58:11.237-05:002011-01-24T15:58:11.237-05:00Been thinking today...huh...

What a change!<br /><br />A big barn star might be good...if your curtains are checked that adds some simple color and pattern. If you put anything on your table then I would keep the walls really simple. Even a worded sign above a barn star? The sign might cover that top outlet (can't tell how high it is)? I'd think simple and uncluttered...<br /><br />C-tree Shops often has Americana. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you decide and find! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895108064130276919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-24999749870700126922011-01-24T12:11:24.341-05:002011-01-24T12:11:24.341-05:00Thanks, Carrie.

Especially when I have to take 4 little people with me who love to touch everything in sight! I used to enjoy shopping. Now it just makes me stressed. I much prefer to shop on my computer these days.Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-10860601311968324492011-01-24T11:14:49.342-05:002011-01-24T11:14:49.342-05:00Y'all did an awesome job!

I'm not sure where I'd look online. I LOVE browsing around thrift stores though. Which doesn't help you very much in terms of your question I suspect!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.com
