Why We Love Banquet Chairs

We love banquet chairs!  They are just better than folding chairs.  You can use them for so much more than just extra seating.  Find these at Amazon and sprinkle them all over your house.

` they stack

` they can be used as side tables

` they can be placed in an entryway to hold your purse

` they make great desk chairs

` they hold blankets, too!

` they hold extra washcloths or towels in the bathroom

` they can be nightstands and a place to sit while you read your 3-year old 72 books

` they have lots of spindles to decorate for parties

Star Wars Bedroom Idea

` measure your room, and draw it on graph paper

1 square = 1 foot

` draw each wall to help visualize needed artwork

This wall has a circle representing a Death Star Fathead and two frames. Maximize storage in a small space with two narrow bookcases and writing desk.

` take a less-is-more-approach to paint colors and patterns

This paint was inspired by the hallways of Space Mountain in Disneyland.

` copy a pattern from the Death Star interior, and use it in a modern way

` instead of wall art, use a magnetic white board

` study paint samples in different lighting before you commit

` use solid bedding and neutral colors for an easy change-up later on
` fill in with favorite trademark accessories

See finished project!
