In the process of setting up this blog, I realized I haven't talked about the dining room since I completed the bookcases.  I guess, I got it to where I really liked it, because not a whole lot has changed.  These were some pictures I took over the summer, but never really posted, so I thought I would show you some of those.  I will probably be tweaking the room a small bit with the coming of the fall and changing of leaves.  I can't wait to bring in some fall leaves and autumn colors!





A closeup of what's on some of the shelves.  This probably gets rearranged about twice a year, to bring the fall colored dishes back up top.

(This is a repost from my old blog, but it was so popular, I wanted to include it here!)

I got the Dining Room put back together this weekend.  Looking at the finished product, I can't believe I waited so long to finish them off.  I didn't think I could have the bookcases in this room with my table, but I love the final result.  

I have been collecting white dishware and dinnerware for over a year now from yard sales and the clearance aisles of Target and other stores.  I have a slight addiction to it.  But now I am able to see it all and easily pull it out without going to several different locations in my house.  Hopefully that will help me entertain more.

It's got a little French Grey + Burlap, so I'm happy!



This is a before picture below.  I mentioned in a previous post that this was originally a dining room, but it had been converted to a playroom.  These were the basic pieces in the playroom, though this photo was taken right before we got new flooring.  Thus the sparse looking space.










The bookcase nearest the window holds my candles, outdoor dinnerware, and more natural elements.  



I love natural colors and textures.  When my son and I go to the park, we love to collect leaves, pine cones, acorns--you name it.  It brings a garden feel to an indoor space.  And since it's fall, it's nice to bring those elements in since cooler weather will be here soon.
