Vintage Farmhouse Table In The Library Nook

This is my library nook. It is quite small. But I've managed to get a lot of bang for my buck out of this space. And it's one of my very favorite areas of my home.

First, I love books. But it's nice to also have a table and chairs in which to sit and browse through a book. Or perhaps sit down with a friend and enjoy a nice lunch. And talk about the books we're reading.

I suppose my style would be considered sort of farmhouse vintage. With lots of color. I do embrace color.

Many of the things you see here I purchased from LaurieAnnas. I absolutely love her style, her wares and her online store. I've also visited her brick and mortar store in Canton. But mostly I order online.

The white pitchers you see here, I got from LaurieAnna. I can't tell you how many readers have emailed me wanting to know where on earth I got those precious pitchers. And I send them straight to her.

See the little metal pockets (for lack of a better word) tied to the back of the two chairs? Yep, got them from her too. And some of the things setting inside them. I'm sure she'll recognize a lot of things in my home that came from her endless inspiration!

With this tablescape, I've created a theme around old vintage photos, picked up for a song at the antique mall, polka dots, which are a favorite of mine, and candles, another favorite.

I love to utilize old things in new ways. Which is why I have a wash tub as part of my kitchen island!

Inspiration for vintage decorating is everywhere. And I think it's going to be around for a long, long time.
