Dining room decor help!
Comments (15)When my Mom died, we got rid of the stuff Mom wanted out right away. That's easy. Then there's the stuff you know doesn't have sentimental value or any value for you or your family. That stuff can also go to Goodwill, etc. Don't stress yourself with garage sale unless you are really strapped for cash. Right away the room will start feeling different for you and you can see what you want to do from there. I initially thought the tablecloth was red anyway, so you could go with a solid color tablecloth OR no tablecloth and use a runner and placemats. My Dad uses a tablecloth, easy to clean, just throw in the wash. There are probably repeat things and things that you just won't use as a single guy, so a lot of that can go. Be kind to yourself, you don't have to throw it all out, find a middle ground. For me, it's better to keep some of my Mom's stuff and use it, than to keep all of it and just have it sitting there, hardly ever even looked at. You'll remember your late wife better if you use her stuff than try to preserve it all untouched. Go slow. You'll find what fits your new life as it evolves. Seek help and support from other widows and widowers!!...See MoreDining room decorating
Comments (43)Re: http://www.thehandwerkshop.com/ this is the company they are in a suburb of Portland OR. I had them make shades for every window and received them a year ago. They are all stil perfect. I have tried to reach Linda, the owner, several times with no success. I hope they are still in business. Nothing has been updated on the website since I ordered. I have a roller shade made by Handwerk for my front door that's 3/4 lite. My first one from around 2015 developed a bad spring mechanism so I wanted another one to replace it. They're quite reasonably priced, so I didn't mind buying a new one. I emailed Linda countless times and then nothing. I was about to try another manufacturer, when I picked up the phone, dialed the number, and Linda answered. I think the pandemic and filling orders got a little overwhelming. She was very sorry not to have responded sooner. I told her I believed in all's well that ends well, and she appreciated that. I placed another order with the same measurements as before, and received my wonderful new shade. Please don't give up on her....See MoreDining Room Decor

Comments (26)I am practicing my image search skills after seeing so many here who are so good at it. I tried to find the chandelier that you were asking about- suggested by Beverly. The best I can do is possibly: It looks like the first one but not so huge and rather pricey https://www.lightingdirect.com/capital-lighting-442601-701-abbie-12-light-51-wide-pillar-candle-chandelier/p4243776 https://www.destinationlighting.com/item/abbie-inch-chandelier-polished-nickel-homeplace-capital-lighting/P2375232 or https://www.destinationlighting.com/item/bolden-brushed-polished-nickel-chandelier-craftmade-lighting/P2231788 Not sure it's any of those but maybe someone else will have better skills....See MoreFlo Mangan
