White chairs, dark table

Part of getting ready to buy an apartment is dreaming up style, and identifying concepts that I like and want to incorporate. A common theme: I love the idea of finding a high-style look and then replicating it on a budget.

One look that I'm loving lately is the pairing of a heavy, farmhouse-style, reclaimed wood table with crisp, fresh white chairs.

Best of all, this concept can work in a variety of styles. Check it:

The practical side of me loves this pairing for it's party-friendliness - a big table can fit all of our friends, and the chairs are easy to wipe down. But it sure is pretty, too!
