Les, that is so funny. With everyone commenting on the floral placement, I did notice that cushion and have changed it. Probably wouldn't have otherwise. I'm still searching for the exact shade of dark brown for sofa pillows. I have some striped fabric with the same colours but it just isn't doing it for me. Maybe with a solid dark brown or cherry red pillow behind. What do you think? Thanks for the tip gk. I'm going to look online and see what info I can find on that. I've tried to trim her claws myself and haven't had much luck. I can't see doing the soft claws on a regular basis so if that stuff works it would be great. Creekylis, we just painted the walls white!!! We had dark warm colours for 8 yrs and I am REALLY ENJOYING the clean white :-) Thanks again everyone for the nice compliments. Off to peruse the web for drapery fabric.

With the popularity of counter height dining tables for inside the house I have seen lots of exterior counter and bar height sets. I am sure that you could also get the chairs separately. I know that I've seen them at Target and Costco.

Thanks nosoccermom. I will definitely ask about that. Today I measure to see how many of which length I will need. Then pop them off an email and hope that they will work with me. I am doing a "face lift" so I am hoping I can justify the cost by explaining to myself that I am not buying cabinets. Plus, the beauty of the things should draw the eye away from the dang arch on the cabinet doors.

I found this table and chairs on pinterest and fell in love with the chairs. Does anyone know where I can find chairs similar to these?
