DINING ROOM!

YAY! I AM SO GLAD TO BE PARTICIPATING IN "SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE FRIDAY" AGAIN THIS WEEK WITH KELLY (WWW.KELLYSKORNERBLOG.COM). LAST WEEK, SHE HOSTED GUEST ROOMS AND SINCE ALL OF OUR GUEST ROOMS ARE NOW FILLED WITH BOYS, I HAD TO SIT OUT! SO... I AM DELIGHTED TO SHARE MY DINING ROOM THIS WEEK! SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY SEEN OUR DINING ROOM ON THE KITCHEN POST A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT I TOOK NEW AND MORE IN DEPTH PICTURES TO SHARE THIS WEEK! ENJOY AND LEAVE ME A COMMENT SO I CAN CHECK OUT YOUR DINING ROOMS, TOO! THANKS AND HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!!

HERE IS THE OVERALL VIEW OF OUR DINING ROOM AND MY BEAUTIFUL CHINA HUTCH!



THESE ARE CLOSE UPS OF MY TABLE, MY ARRANGEMENTS, AND MY TWO FAVORITE SETS OF DISHES!
I PAINTED BOTH SETS AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! THE DIAMOND DISHES STAY OUT YEAR ROUND AND THE LEOPARD AND PAISLEY ONES COME OUT IN THE FALL, ALONG WITH THE BIG PUMPKIN CENTERPIECE ARRANGEMENT! I LOVE THIS TABLE AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS I CAN DO WITH IT AND ESPECIALLY THE NUMBER OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT CAN EAT HERE WITH US!







AND LASTLY, HERE IS THE PANTRY THAT BELONGED TO JACOB'S GREAT GRANDPARENTS! IT WAS IN THEIR FIRST HOME AND HAS BEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLORS! I PAINTED IT SEATTLE RED AND DISTRESSED IT TO MATCH OUR DECOR, BUT IT WAS WHITE AND PINK BEFORE! IT IS SUPER USEFUL FOR HOLDING ALL MY EXTRA CHINA AND THE DISHES OFF THE TABLE WHEN WE HAVE COMPANY TO FILL UP ALL 8 SPOTS! IT ALSO HAS THE CUTEST BUILT IN DRAWER THAT HOLDS NAPKINS AND NAPKIN RINGS PERFECTLY! I LOVE HAVING A SPECIAL PIECE THAT BELONGED TO THEM IN OUR HOME!






THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY DINING ROOM!

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION

LAST WEEK, MY BABY... OR SHOULD I SAY, MY BIG 5 AND A HALF YEAR OLD, HAD HIS KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION PROGRAM AT KIDDIE KOLLEGE. HE IS ABSOLUTELY MORTIFIED BY BEING ON STAGE, SO THIS WHOLE EVENT WAS ALMOST MORE THAN HE COULD STAND! MY HEART ACHED AND SWELLED WITH PRIDE THAT MY GARRETT IS OLD ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY BE GRADUATING! IT SEEMS JUST YESTERDAY HE WAS LEARNING TO WALK AND CAPTURING OUR HEARTS WITH HIS CROOKED GRIN! HERE ARE PICS FROM HIS PROGRAM... CHECK OUT HIS MOST EMBARRASSED FACE IN EVERY PICTURE!





WITH HIS BEST BUDDY CANNON

LIVING ROOM

IT'S SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE FRIDAY AGAIN AND TODAY IT'S ALL ABOUT LIVING ROOMS! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE EVERYONE'S AND HAVE POSTED PICS OF MINE, TOO! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A SUPER WEEKEND AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE KITCHEN AND THEN FROM THE BACK DOOR LOOKING ACROSS!





THIS IS OUR FIREPLACE AND IT IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE PARTS OF OUR HOME! WHEN WE BUILT, WE WANTED IT LARGE AND OVERSTATED TO GO WITH OUR BULKY FURNITURE AND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!


THIS IS A GROUPING I HAVE ON OUR HEARTH

THESE ARE THE ARRANGEMENTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FIREPLACE. I MADE THEM TO GO IN OUR OLD HOUSE AND WHEN WE BUILT OUR NEW ONE, MY FRIEND KIM AND I REVAMPED THEM A BIT WITH SOME EXTRA RED FLOWERS AND FEATHERS... MY FAVORITE!


THIS TRUNK BELONGED TO JACOB'S GRANDMOTHER. SHE PAINTED IT GREEN AND DISTRESSED IT A LONG TIME AGO! I LOVE THE POP OF COLOR IT GIVES AND IT IS SO SPECIAL HAVING A PIECE THAT BELONGED TO HER IN MY LIVING ROOM! THE WATKINS SIGN WAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY SWEET COUSIN, WHITNEY. IT'S THE FIRST THING WE GOT WITH BOTH OF OUR SWEET BOYS' NAMES!


THIS IS OUR LARGE AND IN CHARGE COFFEE TABLE AND ENTERTAINMENT ARMOIRE. WE BOUGHT IT FROM A FRIEND'S FURNITURE STORE AND THINK IT ADDS SO MUCH TO OUR DECOR! THE ARRANGEMENT ON THE COFFEE TABLE IS A SMALLER VERSION OF THE ONE ON MY DINING TABLE AND A LARGER VERSION THAN THE ONE THE BAR!


THIS IS NOT A VERY GREAT PICTURE OF MY WALL OF FAME, BUT IT IS PICTURES OF MY PRIDE AND JOY~ OUR FAMILY AND MY SWEET BOYS RIGHT AFTER WE BROUGHT JACE HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL!


THANKS FOR TAKING A PEEK INTO MY LIVING ROOM AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOURS! PLEASE COMMENT AND LEAVE A LINK TO YOURS, SO I CAN CHECK IT OUT AS WELL!
BE BLESSED!
