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!
