Over the last few months I\u2019ve slowly been working on a cozy dining room update to add some color and to our dining room. Our dining room hasn’t been a room that I’ve put much effort into. It\u2019s never felt quite right and to be honest, I\u2019ve never been very inspired to figure it out, until recently. <\/figure>\r\n
A while back, I unexpectedly found the prettiest antique table on Craigslist. When I messaged the seller they informed me that they had already taken it to a consignment shop the day before. When I asked which shop, I didn’t hear back right away. I quickly began to call a couple of shops in the area and to my surprise, I found it and for $100 less!<\/figure>\r\n

Don’t ya just love the legs? It was love at first sight! I opted for a round dining table for our space. Traffic flows so much better and I love that round tables just promote conversation. Our previous table was larger than the new one but this one but this one does have three leaves that we can add when we have larger gatherings.<\/p>\r\n

We’ve swapped out our Windsor back chairs for these slipcovered parson chairs from Ballard Designs<\/a>. They’ve brought in a bit of elegance and comfort to the room and I love that the slipcovers are machine washable. It really changes the entire look and feel in this room and we’re loving it. <\/p>\r\n

I love that the table and hutch work so well together. The Irish hutch is much more rustic in certain ways but I think it compliments the table well. You can read all about my free hutch HERE<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\r\n

The white walls and neutral d\u00e9cor in this space can be very sterile at times, so I recently added wainscoting below the chair rail and painted both in Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams to warm things up a bit. I’m still in the process of painting the crown molding and door trim to match. That dentil molding is zero fun to paint, friends. <\/p>\r\n

I’m currently debating on a color for our buffet. This guy is really too close to the trim and wainscoting color and just blends in a little too much. I’ve also tossed around the idea of moving this buffet elsewhere in our home. I’m not married to it, so I may replace it with something different all together. We’ll see! <\/p>\r\n

I’m still hunting down the perfect drapery fabric for the two windows. I’m looking for fabric that has a lot of blues and or greens and movement to it. Once I’ve chosen a fabric, I’ll get to sewing! I’m really getting anxious to share a completed room with you, but a collected space always takes time. It’s a layer by layer process.<\/p>\r\n

Until then, have a great rest of the week friends!<\/p>\r\n
