Favourite Furniture Fridays: Simple Dwellings

<div style="text-align: center;">Hi, my name is Amber from the design blog <span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><a href="http://www.simpledwellings.blogspot.com/"><i>Simple Dwellings</i></a></span><i>.</i>  I am so excited to be on Tiffany's blog for her favorite furniture series!  I love this idea and instantly knew what I would choose.  As I look around our house, there are many things I would love to revamp and change, but our dining room hutch has a great story attached to it and makes me smile when I see it!  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiOPX5SYWnYYp1OkMXW_rx_4gcBNT5Gos8Lc1o7mYj9x5CjHuGP925RH-2WDTunbcXs1pngxtEBFkZyc7pFAED6ryWRUP4ZleAEgRNfEH6-QHzjj-QaVXvTdu2q42NhU5P9BQzijqvDM-g/s1600/P2130082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiOPX5SYWnYYp1OkMXW_rx_4gcBNT5Gos8Lc1o7mYj9x5CjHuGP925RH-2WDTunbcXs1pngxtEBFkZyc7pFAED6ryWRUP4ZleAEgRNfEH6-QHzjj-QaVXvTdu2q42NhU5P9BQzijqvDM-g/s640/P2130082.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>We purchased our hutch when my husband and I lived in Germany.  While we lived there for three years, my love for interior design and unique furniture grew.  I used to often walk into this one furniture store and browse around, seeing if they had anything new.  Then one day, I fell in love with this off white hutch.  It was definitely one of those <i>had to have </i>pieces!  Well, it was over budget, so I moved on.  I often thought about it, hoping it would go on sale.  When I went back to the shop one afternoon, it was no longer there.  I was heartbroken, figuring someone had bought it.  Then one night when my husband and I were on our way to the movies, we spotted a discount furniture store with the same name as my favorite shop.  We had some extra time, so we went inside.  It was their discount store, and there it was- 40% off!  It was truly meant to be. We paid for it that night, and the rest was history!  My husband still says it was the most expensive movie date we ever had!  :)  I smiled from ear to ear throughout the entire movie!  Some things are just meant to be.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrnVncgYkGE_hHhDDER7-PPr9LeKLiat4N6INVh-ANg5PsC5z4X6TI4oxJSBmfazxcBXYpMF-tnugySBHaXCThAuttRBNPqpl1_2uGR1XdbGGiaHIl63HZ26NG1MpCWCUzA78UuTnsvDA/s1600/PB110025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrnVncgYkGE_hHhDDER7-PPr9LeKLiat4N6INVh-ANg5PsC5z4X6TI4oxJSBmfazxcBXYpMF-tnugySBHaXCThAuttRBNPqpl1_2uGR1XdbGGiaHIl63HZ26NG1MpCWCUzA78UuTnsvDA/s640/PB110025.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfwq8ltGBbNrTlVsXXri3H3IPK4vlbY8rtWPil7kX1EDfhKZYBD_RCwJI2kpF036LBtW8LGEZ9aL-gCjN3EhYHMuz1mRzn59oKWXmCoyQeF366uo-oV0rDwQnHkblgwQXoc4FFL4tACPyN/s1600/PB110031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfwq8ltGBbNrTlVsXXri3H3IPK4vlbY8rtWPil7kX1EDfhKZYBD_RCwJI2kpF036LBtW8LGEZ9aL-gCjN3EhYHMuz1mRzn59oKWXmCoyQeF366uo-oV0rDwQnHkblgwQXoc4FFL4tACPyN/s640/PB110031.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Thanks so much for having me here today, Tiffany.  It was fun going down memory lane!<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Such an amazing story Amber!
