Ive been on a roll lately with house projects. The craft room is basically finished, I just have a few boxes to go through and then Ill be ready to do a reveal post, and Im in the middle of turning our screened-in back porch into a cozy outdoor living area. I made a few changes in the dining room over the weekend and decided to call it complete.
The dining room is one of my favorite spaces, even though we don’t use it as much a I would like, but I imagine one day we’ll sit around the dining room table for dinner and clear the dishes for family game night. Or not, but it’s a nice day dream.
The table, chairs, and china cabinet were given to us shortly after we were married. Allen refinished the furniture, I recovered the chairs, and we’ve loved it ever since.
Our china from our wedding fills the top two shelves of the cabinet and the bottom one is filled with fun Mud Pie pieces that I love to use as serving dishes. That’s actually my bouquet from our wedding and framed wedding invitation, and a Mother’s Day hand print from BK, all things I cherish.
I’m not sure why I love this room so much, since we don’t use it often. Maybe because it stays clean most of the time. Or because that table makes the perfect spot for folding laundry.
Either way, I’ll be sure to let you know when my June Cleaver dreams of family dinner time in the dining room come true. Until then, we’ll be eating at the smaller table in the kitchen.
