I bought this dressing table today for $150 on Marketplace. I originally just planned on looking at it but then the seller was so charming and the piece was so charming I just couldn’t help it.

I’ve asked Google for a bit of info about it and if there’s any accuracy there then it’s from the American Empire period. I don’t really have any questions, I just wanted to share it with people who might find it interesting. Basically I want to talk about it haha.

Just in case you didn’t see the update. The young man who was found yesterday morning on Carolina Beach Road was Adam Travon Smith. He was stabbed to death by teenagers trying to rob him. May they get exactly what they deserve.

I need some help with a phased approach to this house. The kitchen is cold, stark white cabinets, forest green counters, tile backsplash that’s outdated, gray walls, and gray tiles that lean green.

The four rooms adjoining the kitchen are warm. 3 have warm, cherry colored wood floors and 1 has brown tile (why?). Eventually I’ll remodel the kitchen entirely because of the condition of the tile and cabinets but that won’t be for another 3-5 years.

I would like to paint all of these rooms but I cannot figure out how to tone down the warmth of the sunroom while lifting that awful kitchen. I’m open to thoughts on the backsplash, wall colors, decor, etc. I’m basically open to anything that might help. I’m not a person who likes yellows, oranges, or reds in my home though. Please help me love this new place!

If it would be helpful to see the floor plan let me know!
