Dining Room Revisited


Cottage and Vine's Room by Room Party 
this month is Dining Rooms.
You've seen mine before but I hope you don't mind 
seeing it again.
Actually, we don't really have a dining room ~
 this is our eating area for all occasions so I didn't think
Rene would mind if I joined her party with this space.  
(She's nice like that!)  


We have a leaf for the table for when we have a larger group so 
I will definitely be adding it for Thanksgiving.


See my little table back in the corner that I posted about here?
I still really love it!

We have this fireplace across from our table 
and I've always had trouble accessorizing the shallow mantle.
I came up with the idea to display some of my China on it.


I just kind of layered some dishes and added a
 few other things I had to dress it up.
How do you think it turned out?


I'm so happy you stopped by for a visit!

~ I hope your week is getting off to a good start ~

    I think the mantle looks great, I wouldn't change a thing. I really like the color of your dining room table, I'm planning on painting ours soon and may use your as inspiration.

    The mantle looks perfect! Just enough to add interest to a shallow mantle. You did a wonderful job!

    Love the mantle ideas and the table and chairs. May I ask what color? Doesn't look white on my monitor.

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
