\u00a0However, the chairs were a bit big for this space and they were not in great shape. \u00a0In fact, what prompted this mini-makeover is one of the chairs collapsed while my husband was sitting down at the table. \u00a0I am a sucker for a ghost chair. \u00a0We already had one, so we ordered 3 more on Amazon, and bam&#8230; the room felt instantly bigger! \u00a0If you ever need seating in a small space these are my go-to! \u00a0They look like glass slippers and they are actually quite comfortable.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-234\" src=\"https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/106-hickory-25.jpg\" alt=\"106 Hickory (25)\" width=\"1051\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/106-hickory-25.jpg 1051w, https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/106-hickory-25-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/106-hickory-25-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1051px, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-249\" src=\"https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/img_6818-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6818-1\" width=\"3648\" height=\"5472\" \/><br \/>\nAll in all, I would say this mini-makeover made the room feel bigger and I think this room has reached its potential!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-248\" src=\"https:\/\/thehickorypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/img_6817.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6817\" width=\"3648\" height=\"5472\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We put our house on the market!
