The Dining Room

The last time I posted pictures of our house, the dining room was still in an upheaval. We finally got a table, and then it all started coming together. So for those of you who are interested, here is our dining room!

It's nearly impossible to get a picture of the whole room, so here is a corner that shows most of everything. I am still looking for a centerpiece for the table.

I made these curtains, and I was really pleased with them. I absolutely love the material, but you can't really see the pattern here, so keep scrolling down for a close up!

I knew I wanted brown for the dining room, but we had this yellow wall, so I decided to look for brown material with just a touch of yellow in it, and found this! It was perfect! It's a little hard to see in the picture, but it is brown material with embroidery of yellow, green and red. I love it!


Just recently we went into a "dollar store" type store to look around, and I found this painting. It was perfect for the big blank wall in the dining room, and I was amazed at how nice it was....and the best part was that it only cost about $30!


Of course, it all looks better in person, so if you are ever in our neighborhood, be sure to let us know and you can come over for dinner!!

  4. I love it!! I wish I had your eye for decorating. You need to come help me with my house. My living room is completely white, nothing on the walls yet. I did get a Haitian painting, but waiting to get a frame for it. Love you!!
