~ industrial chic linky party with Margo's Junkin Journal ~

I was so excited to learn of this uber cool Industrial Chic linky party at Margo's Junkin Journal!

Goodness knows I love me a little bit of industrial in my house!

I recently did a post about my most.favorite.find.ever!

My industrial side tables that I had been dreaming about for years and years....literally!

I absolutely love adding a few industrial touches throughout my house.

I like the juxtaposition of ruffles and industrial.

Some people think it's a little strange.

When I got these tables and they were loaded into my vehicle, a friend of mine came out

and took a peek inside.  Her reaction was priceless:  "you're putting THOSE in your house?"

Yep, I am!  And I did!  Front and center baby!

They reside in our most used room!

And they still make me smile every time I walk by!

I'm not exactly sure where my love of industrial came from originally.

I've always been drawn to it.

When Mickey and I first got married, we lived in a 100 year old house in downtown

Columbus.  It was a little brick row house.....three stories tall.....but literally just 10 feet wide!  And only

18 inches of space between our house and the houses on each side of ours.

Our community had an annual home tour, and I think that is where I first saw the house that 

introduced me to industrial chic.  This guy had used sliding barn doors and had an industrial 

spiral staircase and numerous other factory and warehouse salvages in his home.  It appealed to

me then.....that was 11 years ago.....and has always stuck with me!

For those of you who follow my blog, I apologize that you have seen these photos before!

But seriously, I could not pass up the opportunity to share them again at
