The Perfect SideBoard


We found the perfect sideboard at World Market - who would have thought?? My brother-in-law and sister-in-law purchased their dining room table and chairs from World Market a few years back and it's a great set. Really solid pieces of furniture, made out of rubberwood, they're comfortable and the whole look works well for their dining room. They paid oh maybe 10% of what we paid for our table. Yikes! Now, I happen to love our table, it's made out of refurbished oak panels that are 60+ years old, so no qualms about what we spent, but needless to say, it's been difficult finding something that would match said dining room table. And then, I found it on World Market's web site. Can't wait to pick it up next time we're in DC!

Wine Lush - a new favorite blog


Okay, I don't know who the gal is who does the WineLush blog, but she's great! She has seriously like a million posts and they're all about wines she likes, wines she doesn't like. She does these blind taste tests to see if she can tell the difference between one versus another - love it! And am totally excited about trying her Valentine's Day wine - a WineSmith Cabernet Franc.
