I have done a few updates in our dining area for the third time now, and decided that I finally like how it looks. This is our only eating area in our house: we have breakfast, lunch and dinner here, we do homework, crafts and host dinner parties.
Here is how it looks now:
2 years ago:
3 years ago (during our kitchen remodel):

Side board, lamps: Target

Oh...so pretty! I love the chevron curtains!
ReplyDeleteIt gorgeous! I love the addition of that little side buffet. Those are always such a great way to store extra kitchen supplies. I love the pic of your kid in the high chair too...haha, we love that Ikea chair!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I LOVE the sideboard. Like, a lot. And the little birdies are right up my alley. Four thumbs up. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis space looks great! I love the tray on the table and those lamps are amazing! Great, great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about this room? So beautiful! Would love for you to share at my Give Me the Goods party where you can party with five blogs via 1 link:

Your dining room is gorgeous! I moved in to a new construction home in 2010, and I still have the standard builder-grade "chandelier" in my dining room. The dining room is the next room I plan to remodel, and I can't wait to rip down the ugly light fixture I have and replace it with a clean and contemporary fixture like yours.

Your arrangements on the table and sideboard are lovely! I can tell a lot of time and thought went into making the perfect kitchen for your family to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI love the striped throw. I have the same one. It's amazing how that little bit of pattern can make such a big difference. I like the new curtains too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful Rita! You have great taste!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it at Monday Funday!
New to your page... Not even sure how I found you but soooooo glad that I did.
ReplyDeleteI just copied your link and sent it to my husband with the title "dream inspiration". We have a similar flow from our family to dining to kitchen and I've been trying to convince him of how to mix certain colors, add a fireplace, paint the dining table black, etc. and to trust me that it would look good. This post finally helped turn the corner! Thanks so much! Love your space!
Hi Rita !
ReplyDeleteI love your dining "area" ! And guess what ? we are Ikea-dining-table-"buddies" ! I also really like your buffet and the white lamps. Take care !
Your dining area is gorgeous!! I love all the changes you made!
ReplyDeleteLove the paint color and your "EAT" sign... what an inviting space to dine in! (Thanks so much for sharing at Project Inspire{d} this week!)
ReplyDeleteSO GORGEOUS. I love how bright it looks now. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love if you had a second to check out my first ever room makeover.

It's gorgeous! I love the accent colors you used, and your curtains are dreamy!
ReplyDeleteThat space is absolutely beautiful. I love the pops of pattern and color! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Project Inspire{d} ... you have me wanting to revamp my eating space! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour house has style! All of the improvements have come together to make a fresh appealing space. Love the open shelving, tiles, cabinet bonnets, white paint on cabinets, metal stools, fabric color and prints. Just everything. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love the orange EAT against the pale blue. So pretty!

So, so pretty! I have a black table, and have been toying with painting it white, but your black table looks so great in your picture that I just might keep mine (a lot less work!). Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful! And so approachable (i.e. comfortable!). Thanks for showing the "in the middle" photos too - I love seeing the progression.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen something from you I didn't like. This is WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great room! Love your style.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and visit with you today.
Blessings, Amy

That is a really great remodel. I love that you changed the bench into chairs and I only say that because, for me at least, benches make it hard (for me) to sit up straight with good posture comfortably. lol I know, I know, silly... but when I want to eat, I also want to think about eating and not about sitting.
ReplyDeleteI love your house!!!! I am moving in 2 months and I will need to paint my new house. I love the light gray of your family room!!! Could you tell me what is the color? Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trasformation.It looks amazing!!I love all the changes you made!Buy single or double mattress
ReplyDeleteI love this so much... every detail just perfect
ReplyDeleteI love every detail simply wow!! I love that its not crowded and its not too naked at the same time its as Michelle said "Perfect!!
ReplyDeletelove the room!! i'm have been debating on a jute rug for our dining room FOREVER!! but w/ 5 kiddos . . . i'm wondering if i'm crazy! how easy is it to clean?? we use our dining table for everything too . . . so i would love to hear how your rug is holding up!
ReplyDeleteThe kids had spilled on this jug, had gotten play dough framed into it, yet it still cleans really well. Atleast this one from IKEA does, it has a thick jute knit. My friend had a jute rug from World Market, and said her kids spilled milk on it and it left a raised bump on the rug when it dried. Not this one. If one side gets too dirty, just flip it over, you have two sides to work with :). Plus I am not too worried about it, we had this rug for about 3 years now and it still looks good, but if something terrible happened to it, I could just go and get a new one since it is less then $100. Most rugs are so expensive and I know a wool or different fabric rug would never last here in our dining room.
DeleteCute room!! Where did you get your table?? I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your room! What are the dimensions? (If you don't mind sharing?) I would like to try something similar in our room but we're concerned about lack of space. Your set up looks very airy-- just curious to know if the length and width of the room is similar to ours (from the back of your sofa to your kitchen counter). Also, what are your measurements of the table? Thanks in advance!
