Home Additions

After a long, awaited search, I finally came upon some perfect bedside tables for our master bedroom. The campaign chest from Pottery Barn was far too large for the room we learned. I have felt lately that some of the selection in Raleigh has been so limited, I decided to venture down to Wilmington, not only to look for tables but to visit one of my best friends, Katie.

We ran all over town, starting downtown and working our way back up to the Ivy Cottage. If you are ever in the market for furniture, you must absolutely try Cape Fear Antiques and the Ivy Cottage - beautiful selection, and Ivy Cottage has a 48 hour return policy!

My mom had encouraged me to be patient with these tables, (and with everything else in our house), to take my time and really LOVE what I buy - so glad I took her advice! They were a little more than I originally planned to spend, but in the end, I love them and will never tire of the classic drop-leaf.

I love the height and width for each side of our bed - plenty of room to get around but also enough surface for a book, glass of wine, or vase of flowers!

Khaner isn't wild on the lamp shade for my ginger-jar inspired lamps, but I can easily change those out. I am so pleased I bought these awhile ago at TJ Maxx for the steal of the century!

And my rug for the front hall finally arrived! More than I wanted to spend, but perfect for a small space and I will love the quality and pattern for years to come!
