We got internet in the cottage. Seriously, I no longer feel like I am in the Stone Age. Along with the internet, we nearly completely finished furnishing the cottage this weekend. We had several strokes of luck at our favorite used furniture place, Furniture Follies, including a beautiful dining room table and four chairs that I couldn't have fathomed we were fancy enough to own, but the price was right and I was in love. Trent bought a great chair with Flor di Lis print (go New Orleans!) that looks all classic, but reclines and is insanely comfortable. Then we lucked out with a Craigslist find of a $150 3 year old Broyhill sofa from some ridiculously rich folks in Clayton. Worth the drive, no question. Thank goodness for the truck. Now just gotta decorate it.. we have several fantastic ideas including a tree coat rack, an upholstered head board and framed botanicals in the dining room! I am scouring Real Simple and Blueprint for ideas. Please let me know what clever/cheap tactics worked for you!
