Two duvets, two down comforters within - two layers of softness - awwwwww. Double layers of $$$ - hmmmm.   You can still get a lovely and luxurious look with a white duvet over a gray matelasse coverlet if your budget won't allow two down comforters and duvets. I live in So. California, and would never ever need two down comforters - so it would be strictly for the look here.  I would maybe use a down blanket instead of a down comforter for the duvet inserts. They are not as warm and not as thick.  You can also get down alternatives for those who suffer from allergies.  Try to adapt the bedding to your own climate, but use at least one comforter in a duvet for the soft inviting look this room calls for...</span></pre><br /><pre style="background-color: white;

New (Old) Dining Room Table

Hello!  Wow, it's been a while hasn't it?  I'm still working on projects but just have been too busy to blog about them.  This past month, hubby and I worked on a couple of dining room projects and I wanted to share them with you here.<br /><br />First up, a longer, more rustic dining room table.<br /><br />Since our home is over 100 years old with our dining room being one of the biggest rooms in the house, I've always envisioned a long, very worn looking farmhouse table to go in the room.  Something that looked like it had been there all those years, with all kinds of history and stories behind it.  I had tried to create that several times with two different dining tables that I had built but I was never completely happy deep down with them.  But I am now.  I love what my hubby and I created, using the beautiful white table legs that my dad turned himself before he passed away.<br /><br />Here's a look.....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9wA-rhVAdcu-T1G4pZQcY23N7sr3ZOmWSxgelv_Ap5JpwhSeCTI2e5dMWKtzTTZb56dYeFA8NigA91tvfs-c9thJqlgud3tPSDscGx_nrxboN0B53hWNFG971EWELUqLzUBnzMZ5oZ8S/s1600/022a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
