Welcome to this week's customer inspiration and Karen and John's lovely home! Karen, John and their three adorable children recently moved to Michigan but before leaving DuPage County purchased a number of pieces from Ashley Furniture to take with them. So, let's take a look at what they've done with what they bought!
entertainment centers are quickly becoming the newest "white elephant" and yet are often very nice pieces of furniture which provide a lot of storage - if you can see past using them only for storing your television - and that's exactly what Karen and John have done. By adding crates and boards the piece has been adapted to meet their needs (and keeps things looking tidy behind the closed doors). Karen writes: "We bought this media cabinet particularly for an interest piece in our living room and to house our stereo amp and some photo albums (we've not yet hung anything on the walls, hence the pile of stuff on top)."
both the futon and the floor lamp are from Ashley - though Karen did purchase a new lamp shade (again, if you can see past the often battered shades on our lamps - you'll find some really nice lighting). I love the pillows Karen's added to the futon and how they warm up the neutral color of the futon fabric
both the table and four wooden chairs are from Ashley Furniture (two fabric chairs are from IKEA) and John did refinish the table top but, "we left the legs rough, for that instant weathered look. The table and chairs were not an original set, but they look great together!" Yes, Karen - they do look great together and John did a nice job refinishing the table top - it looks fantastic!

Karen mentioned she didn't even get downstairs to snap photos of the rest of the furniture they purchased from Ashley Furniture. What with moving to a new state and having three young children to get settled, I'm impressed she took photos and emailed me at all!
Okay everyone - if Karen can take some photos and email me - there's no excuse for the rest of you! Email me photos of how your Ashley Furniture purchases have enhanced, changed, prettified your home and I'll share every Tuesday.
Next Tuesday, we'll take a peek into Mandy's fun/retro apartment!
Karen ends her email by writing, "You had just what we needed at just the right time." How cool is that! Thanks for sharing, Karen!
And so, dear reader, that's this week's "customer inspiration." I'll close with these excellent words from Dr. Seuss: "Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."
Blessings!
