Fine Dining (Room)

Hi, everybody!  Yesterday I shared this post as a guest host on Knick of Time.  In case you missed it, I'm continuing the tour of my home and we have reached my dining room, which is off the hall.
This room is to the right as soon as you walk in the front door.  
(The other rooms that I’ve posted so far are to the left.)
More seltzer bottles! (Do you sense an addiction here?) 
The wood floor was painted green when we moved in and we left it.  
We had the walls painted a soft green to co-ordinate. 
You can see my love of typography, again!  
I got the old menu cards at an antique store…I thought they were so fun!
I have a mixed assortment of chairs around the farm table.  The cabinet in the corner is the one that my dad made for me and I have it filled with my ironstone collection.
I found the buffet at a flea market for a steal - it has great storage.
I have all my small, white pitchers/creamers lining the windowsill above the buffet.
I'll save the rest of my dining room for the next time!
I wish everyone a great day!
I'm linking to these great parties:

  1. I love all the rooms in your house so far! I'm seriously jealous over that sideboard, though. It is on my list to find!

  7. I can't stand it! I LOVE this room!!! I wish I could have all of those things out in our house. We have 3 under 3, so breakables within little hands' reach is a no-no around here. You did a fantastic job! Green, black, white with a little wood thrown in is my absolute favorite color palette. You nailed it. Thank you for linking up at The Ironstone Nest! XO Laura

  26. Hi Susan, you know girl I love everything about your home! The pillar makes me swoon,(I kind of have a pillar fetish). So much so that last year on my b-day hubby had my SIL make me a pillar cake. Yeah, my SIL makes cakes. Not for a living, but just for fun. You have so many unusual things that I adore. The seltzer bottles and resturant menu cards are fabulous. I could feature you every week, but I guess I should give someone else a chance. lol! I have been out of town so I am slow at visiting. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
    Hugs,
