TOUR OF HOMES (Dining Room)

Welcome to our dining room! By far, the fanciest room in our home since we are all about comfort. As I had stated in an art post, the decor here takes on a French Country theme. I like this theme because it does still have a dressed down appearance. I'm proud of this room because I really put alot of myself into it. When we bought our home, it was previously a formal sitting room. I moved the chandelier from the original dining room to this room because we usually have a large crowd around the holidays. Then, my sister Gina and I painted all of the trim and dental molding white (previously stained) and did a faux treatment of the gold on the walls. The only new furniture in the room is the table and chairs. When all the leaves are in, it seats 10 comfortably. Everything else in the room was either handed down from family, found at a clearance sale, hand-made by me or bought from Goodwill stores (which I love finding bargains at).

Now, tag to you gals who are in on the tour of homes! Antigone, Gina, Lori and Trish! And anyone else who wants to join in!

I love your dining room, maybe because it has my blood (no wait, I didn't get hurt), sweat (no shoot, I'm never hot) and laughter (yeah thats it, we had fun) in it. It is the most formal room in the house... you know me and my house, I like formal. So, I guess I've been tagged for another room now, huh!

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your day. You are blessed!
