Our Dining Room

I had the best weekend ever hosting the weaving workshop with Rachel!  I plan to show you tons of pictures from the event, but first I thought I'd show you the dining room before the chaos of yarn and snacks and lovely ladies.  This space was one of the first to come together in our home.  I knew I wanted a cozy dining room to host dinners with friends, but also a space for our family to have ice cream parties and game nights!  Here's a peek at where I (basically) started:


As you can see, I didn't have to do much to this room other than add furniture and art.  I liked the color on the walls and the fancy chandelier that Laura made fancier, so after all of the boxes were out of here, it was time to decorate!

 
 

I knew I wanted to get a larger table and set of chairs-- something that would fit the size and vibe of this room a little more than our last set.  That's when Craigslist is the handiest.  Your old stuff goes to a new home and you can use that money for things that work better in your space.

You can see we have the white built-in cabinets, but I needed a little more storage for extra appliances, flatware, etc.  I found the wooden hutch at a local flea market/antique store and it has been a great addition!  The pink cabinet I snagged when the old Red Velvet shop was closing down a couple of years ago.  It's perfect for my ever-growing skunk collection!

I adore this space in our home and it was perfect for hosting the craft gatherings this weekend!  I hope to do more in the future.  Bring on the dinner parties and fun gatherings!
