An Eclectic Dining Room

Our Dining Room is actually in the same "room" as our Kitchen, Living Room and Sitting Area.

Our Dining Room table actually serves as our craft area, kitchen table and at times our school table.

Our Dining Room is.... well.... eclectic.

So... here is our Dining Room!




This is my favorite part. The gallery wall. It has so many wonderful and meaningful items. It makes me happy every time I look at it. And in a course of any given day..... that's like a million times.. ha!

I turned this buffet cabinet into a place to house our books. It's also a fun place to change out the decor. When we host events I decorate the top of the buffet to incorporate the theme of the event {as seen in our Mad Men Party and Baby Shower}.

The painting was the first painting I ever did. I painted it about 4 years ago and I LOVE how I utilized a little bit of a soft aqua color in the dripping section and how it complements this space quite well. It was like it was always meant to go here!
