Dining room set was from my friend's childhood; her mom found it when they were selling the house. Dining table was completely trashed and needed the legs repaired. Frames and mirror from Value Village. Buffet was from the estate sale. had to totally repaint it as it was discoloured. Philip Starck 'ghost chairs' were from ebay (although I got a set of clear from the estate sale also.
The floor base was from a packing skid - am a bit of a salvager!
Still so many fiddly details!
Apparently measuring twice and cutting once to get a straight line is a challenge for me. The trim is off on the right side - not due to measuring but because the ONLY piece left in the entire downtown core was bent!
No matter how many times I re-glued it would not stay in line! grrrrr.... and the foamboard paper kept rippling at the top.
May turn it in to a Addams family inspired goth piece.
Overall I am happy with it. going to do the back of the walls next week: will do it so i can use the floor for two set ups.
