CHRISTMAS IN OUR DINING NOOK

I'm never sure exactly what to call this area of our house.
It's next to the kitchen and it's our only dining area but it's not 
really a dining room.  
So I have decided to call it our dining nook.
Now that we have that settled, I would like to show you
how I decorated it for the holidays.


Much of what I decorated with this year isn't specifically for Christmas 
but I used things that have a winter or Christmas feel to them.


So I put together a vignette on our table using green and red
and still incorporating my favorite blue.


In the corner above my little table, a wooden star hangs 
from my bird hook.


We keep this little lamp on all of the time in the winter
and I like the way it casts a glow on the star.


I especially love the addition of the pomegranates.
They're such a pretty shade of rosy red.


Thank you for taking a look at our dining nook.


I'll be back soon with more of my Christmas decorating for this year.

Have a wonderful day!

    Well, no matter WHAT you call that area it is just adorable, JoAnne. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how soft and sweet the room feels and that pitcher is a GREAT piece. The pomegranates make a nice little pop of color in there. xo Diana

    I pinned the photo of the cute little table and the lamp on my To Do pinterest board. I love the plant hanging down the table and have just the spot for a plant in my house. Thanks for the inspiration.

    That nook looks so cosy, bright and welcoming. I love all the white you used in the furniture: it allows you to decorate in so many different ways. My dining-room isn't a separate room either, laybe I should call it a dining nook as well.

    I like how you have mixed a little of Christmas in with your own decor! The pomegranates give a nice festive touch! I used to decorate my mantel with fruit and they used to last the longest.

    I have a dining nook, too. Our living room and kitchen are open to each other and the table sits in the middle in front of a bay window. Odd, but it works!

    Hope to see more of your Christmas Merry Making!

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

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

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
