This is my thrown together Black and White Bohemian Table scape. From start to finish, I think it was around 30 to 40 minutes to complete. You have to have a vision before you start. Then it is putting it all together that is the fun part! For the September photo a day challenge, one of the days themes was "tablescape". I really love to set the table and make a pretty tablescape. I think it is a...

Here a is a look at our Easter dinner table. It has a nice mix of all of the above- boho, farmhouse, texture, neutrals, paisleys, and chevrons. I really love how it turned out, get ready for a photo overload! It was just the four of...

I am back with another look at the Dining Room Built in. You can see how I lined the back with Birch Bark Wrapping Paper here. Here it is all dressed for Spring, and full of fun DIY craft projects. When I lined the back of the shelves I hoped that they would give some great warmth and texture to the Dining room. I just love how they turned out, and got the warmth I hoped for. After using so many...

Hi There. I have been having a hard time lately finding the motivation to work here on the blog. I love doing it, but it is a lot of hard work. Many of the aspects I am not comfortable with, Photography, writing, and all things web related. Please be patient with me as I struggle my way through. Because I believe that I could have something... In our cute little MCM rental home, we have this...

Pretty Shelves in the Dining Room

Hi There! Sorry, I have been gone so long. I have been busy. Work, life, etc. Enough said, we have all been there. So, today I am back with a quick look at the Odd built-in the Dining room. This odd little built in has 4" deep shelves, so not much will fit for decorating. But this is the little spot that I change up for the seasons, or when I am just bored. I do believe at one point, these...

Lets just jump in...  Here is a quick look at the Dining room in our little rental house. A little while back, we had my Boyfriend's Parents over for dinner. The room was clean and pretty and the table was set, so why not take some photos?!? We are renting a small little Mid century house in a quiet neighborhood. We love the location and the house is cute and cozy. Did I mention small? Our table...

The $1 Dining Room Table

Hi There!   I got a quick story for you... One day last fall, I was driving home from the North side of town. I had gone to try and buy some boots from a girl off Craigslist. They didn't fit. I drove by a house that was having it's contents emptied into a dumpster, and put by the curbside. Here is what I saw: Dirty? Yup. Worn and seen better days? Yup. Water rings? Yup. Some white paint or...

Hi There!   Here is a quick posting of our Easter Table. Nothing fancy, just pretty plates, and flowers. We got a new table by the side of the road late last summer. That's right, free! I haven't posted about it yet, but it turned out great! It ended up only costing $1 for the stain. Now that is a deal!   We had my boyfriend's parents over for dinner. It was a nice afternoon. I got these...

Thanksgiving Table

Hi There!   Yes, Thanksgiving was last month. And Yes, a real Blogger would have posted her table two weeks prior to the holiday, instead of two weeks after. Just remember the name of my blog...... ;) Here it is the day of Thanksgiving. All cleaned up and pretty. In this posting you can also see a few updates I have made to the dining room. I painted all the chairs this lovely shade of Gray. I...
