Would you like to see my dining room?

Almost exactly a year ago I blogged about painting my dining room gray.  You can read the post here. 

Since that post I have hung new curtains.  Purchased and returned three different rugs, finally choosing to skip the rug.  Moved the wine bar out, moved it back in.  Moved the buffet to where the wine bar was and finally moving the buffet back to its original spot.  Replaced the mirror with a great vintage cabinet.  Decorated and redecorated.  Purchased and hung a gorgeous chandelier.

After all of this, I just couldn't seem to get it right.  Then, a few weeks ago I found the perfect dining chairs on sale at World Market.  The chairs are big, upholstered and comfy.   Our dining room went from a lonely room that rarely had visitors to a place where we eat dinner most evenings, hang out and catch up on the day.  We love it!

Wine bar.  The picture needs to be lowered.  What do you think?

Chandelier.  Love the vintage feel with the modern twist.

Because of my decorating ADHD, I still want to change a few things.  That's the fun part!

Thanks for looking,

Things have been busy around here....
tons of new projects are in the works at home and also for Worthy Goods.  

One night I decided to "shop my house" and ended up switching a few pieces around.  I took a cabinet from the living room and switched it out with a wine bar in the dining room.  Love the results for the living room but I'm still working on the dining room...

This is my first attempt at decorating the wine bar...

 This is my second...  Any thoughts, tips, suggestions?

My nieces and nephew stayed over for a few days so we made really cool reversible  aprons...

Love them!

Went to lunch with a friend...

We discovered this great little restaurant. 

Best burger I've ever had.

 

dreamed of a fireplace makeover just like this...

That's what's happening at my place.  Hope things are going well at yours!
