This, of course, is the dining room. It is much more spacious than the one we had at the last house. The doors you see to the right in the first photo is the sliding door to the sun room. I'm not sure if I'm going to put up a valance at the top. It's a big ugly sliding door. A French door would look so much nicer. But I'm not springing for that!!
The table runner. I LOVE the table runner. I found it at Garden Ridge when I was 'just looking'. It was $10, and I would have gladly paid more because it matches that table cloth really well. The table cloth was a splurge. This dining room table was a set we bought used almost two years ago. The top of it is awful and needs to be refinished (yep, another project) put I've been buying vinyl table cloths at Walmart which are more kid friendly anyway. But they never hold up! OK, they're cheap, I get it. But I go through 3-4 in a year. So I was at Bed Bath & Beyond when I found this one.
It looks like a real fabric table cloth. But it's scrubbable like a vinyl. With four kids, really, it's just the most practical. By itself, its...well...ugly, lol. But I knew I would be putting it with a table runner or maybe place mats. And it was the color palette that really drew me because I knew it would work well with my color scheme.
OK, the missing things (because I don't actually have a single room in my house completely decorated, ugh!)
- sconces - I'm going to use the brushed bronze set I had in my formal living room at the.
- Curtains - or valances?! I'm not sure. You can really see how ugly that slider is in this photo.
- Art work - um...there's no wall space. So for the most part, I'm going to skip it. I have a really cute roost wall plaque I forgot to photograph, that's up. But I'm thinking that may be it. Unless I take my rooster print from the kitchen in our home in CA and put it over the desk. Which you can't see in these photos
because it's covered in clutterbut I'll make sure to photograph later - The center piece - I didn't take a close up, because it's missing the decorator sand that goes in the vase. It's missing because I have no clue as to which box its in. A very common theme right now..
A parting shot. It's definitely coming along!
