My Dining Room

Welcome to my dining room. I'm joining Kelly's Korner as we all show our homes room by room.

My dining room has a very open floor plan as you can see. I do like the feel of an open room, the down side is almost no walls to hang pictures on!

I really love the size, shape, and style of my dining room chairs. I do NOT like the fabric. I found the chairs at a furniture outlet for a song and some day I will get around to recovering them (I hope!).

I have a taupe and white paisley runner on table all year around except Christmas. I like that the neutral colors can go with any event or holiday decor.

The wicker charger, plates, and napkins were all from Walmart. The napkin rings I found on clearance at Target. I wrapped the metal ring in some twine for added texture.

I wrapped these candles in raffia and string and then added a push pin from Ballard Designs.

I do love my table. I looked for a dining room table I liked for years and years. When I found this one it was love at first sight! However, I still waited a couple more years before I bought it because I refused to buy it until it went on sale. Does this make me cheap or frugal? I'll leave that up to you to decide. :)

I layered my runner with this cool textured stuff (I don't know what it's called). It's similar to burlap. I have a confession.....the ruffled is just held on with tape!

My china cabinet is a cheapie press board piece I bought at Lowe's years ago. It was white, but when I bought my table I faux painted it to look like dark wood. A new china cabinet or buffet is on my some day wish list.

Here is the top of the cabinet.

I backed the inside of the cabinet with burlap and have fun making little vignettes inside.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!
