We just love colored glass and colored crystal. We’ve done a few posts about blue glass; here’s some of the red glass we have at Affordable Chic, just in time for summer picnics.

(Put them all together for the 4th of July! You’ll have the classiest picnic table in the neighborhood.)

Skirted Table

|

Every now and then, we find something so unusual that it simply can’t be grouped with anything else. This pretty skirted table is such an item.

Someone has a space in their home that needs this skirted table. If you know that person, or that home, let them know we have the perfect table.

Affordable Chic. Something for everyone. We surprise ourselves, sometimes, still.

Furniture for Your Home

We like to keep it fresh at Affordable Chic; this month, it’s the Shabby Rose that’s taken on an entirely new look. Make sure you slow down and study on it. Breath-taking, in all the details.
