Dining Room Inspiration

via

Today, I finally got a day off from work and I'm making things for my Thanksgiving tablescape.

Hope to show tomorrow.

In the meantime, I thought I'd show some of my favorite dining rooms from my 

Pinterest Dining Room Board.

That one above is decked out for a sweet little Birthday party. 

I want a birthday party that looks like that. 

That will be my goal for next year.

I'll have to do it for myself but that is ok...I'd love to throw myself a party like that.

I love everything about this room even though it's got lots more wood than I normally go for.

Ok, I might change out the light fixture for a chandelier. Yes, I'd definitely change that out.

A big pretty mirror is always an asset in the dining room.

Wow! I love that table. Isn't it hugely fantastic!

I love how warm this room is.

The chandelier and the rustic china cabinet make this dining room.

Sweet little rosemary topiaries. Love that they have little twig trellises.

Love the wall treatment too.

Why can't I be simple like this?

I've been craving a simplified Xmas decor...

but I know I'll get all my pretty vintage stuff out again this year.

Ok, this is the thing I'm obsessed about currently. 

That bench with slipcover.

I have a long ottoman like that in my office which originally was intended as footstool

and storage but it's just always in the way and I stack stuff on it.

It needs to go and I realized it was just the right height to be used as seating in my dining room.

A quick search of Pinterest and I found some wonderful examples 

of slipcovered ottomans used in dining rooms.

I am so doing this.

Here's another. 

I think it will add a softness to my dining room that the room needs.

Ok, I'm going back to my creating now.

So fun to be home on a beautiful fall day!

Ottomans on the Brain

I finally got my new ottoman out of the box.

Yes, there is still lots of glitter on my rug from Christmas.

I should have vacuumed before I got the ottoman out but I didn't.

This is what it looks like.

The fabric is blah in the room.

I knew it would be.

I'll be making a slipcover for it.

I'm thinking this fabric.

I love solid velvet ottomans but since my sofa is solid pink...I need a pattern or 

another color.

I'll later make a solid white linen slipcover too.

I'll probably paint the legs white.

Pinned these rooms for inspiration.

via

Wow! Love this room.

I'm painting this huge chalkboard frame - white...might as well paint the legs on the 

ottoman while I'm at it.

Oops! Late for work...I'll link up photo links later when I get home.
