If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember me asking in one of my stories what you guys thought about this wood (of the table) with the wood on my floors.
I hadn’t planned to use it with the extensions but my husband and I both loved the larger table WITH them, so keep them in all the time. It’s a solid, well-built, beautiful table that looks like it was at least double that, if not more. So I snatched it up for almost half the price of the smaller table I had been eyeing. But then found out that this larger table was clearance priced in the store (they were trying to make room for summer items at the time). I had been eyeing this table at Pier One. You might notice that the table has extensions on each end. Well, I’m thinking they will get hemmed because they are kind of driving me crazy. I hemmed the ones I have in the family room, the same as these, and thought I’d just let these be. Now I can seat 8 and really 10 if I squeeze ’em in! And by the way, I’m not really loving the puddled curtains on the floor. My pretty Aubusson Blue dresser stayed through a lot of it though! The “dining room” is now the “ morning room“.Īnd the old “formal living room/study/dining room” is now a dining room again.ĭid I lose you there? haha I know, I’ve changed it a lot!īut we have been in this house going on 15 years. The study also evolved as my style changed…. We both thought that was so odd and so confining….we knew it was coming off first thing!įor visual…I’m speaking of this doorway here… (old photo, old paint, etc)Īnd later…still a dining room (with new paint…in my maroon and gold phase)Īnd then turned it into a study and moved our dining room…. There was a DOOR in the small opening from the foyer to the kitchen… just imagine that. That door leaning there is the door you saw as you walked into the foyer from the front door. (this photo is literally right after moving in) We made it a dining room when we first moved here…. (this was on our walk-through before we bought our house, the previous owners used it as a formal living room…we never did) It’s large and was mostly wasted space as a study.Īs a matter of fact, even though this room was meant to be a formal living room….
(that DIY centerpiece can be found, HERE) That one just kept getting makeovers and makeovers.īut it was time to let it go. We haven’t bought a dining room table since 1997. I can not tell you how thrilled I am to have such a large table to host guests. I’m so excited to share this room with you guys today. So today it’s all about our coastal dining room. (we are hosting Christmas dinner at our house this year) We’re trying so hard to get these finished up so I can share them all with you (and so we don’t lose our minds completely! haha) and so we can prepare for the holiday season that is upon us.
I have plans to give something completely different away next time (decor item) and I may even start doing giveaways on some of the things I create for the blog here. (she’s already been notified and the package is on it’s way!) This was so much fun that I think I’m going to have to do it more often….so stay tuned! My 6 year giveaway contest was a hit and I’m so thrilled to announce the winner…Karen P!! Congrats to you.
Okay, before we get started on this post, let me just say THANK YOU again for being so awesome! Love you all!! A room that has been transformed more than once, finally landing on this coastal dining room design!
