Festive Dining Room


Hi, everyone!  As I shared in this post, my dining room is featured in the latest issue of Creating Vintage Charm (insert wild happy dance!)  Since I had to decorate it for the magazine a few months ago, I was ready to change it out and do something different by the time December rolled around!


 I kept the same idea as before-simple and lots of natural elements.  I showed a few pics of my dining room in my last post, but here are more of the entire room...



















I added this 'JOY' to the door of my barn wood cabinet that my dad made...















I changed my chalkboard from 'Tis the Season' to a tiny 'Peace' for something different...


Hope you enjoyed the tour of my dining room!  Have a wonderful day!

    Christmas joy to you!

    Hi Susan,
    Your dining room is gorgeous!!!! I love every bit of it. My fav in the room is that corner cabinet. So pretty. I love the way the light comes into your dining room too. That great window with the white pitcher collection is great. Love all your vintage touches.

    My favorites: the drying rack, chalkboard, hands in the cabinet, and those wonderful whit pitchers on the window sill! They create such a serene, fresh glow against the light. I've never seen this. Hope you're having a great weekend.

    Hugs,
    Meredith

    P.S. I've changed my blog name from A Penny For A THought to The Laundry Can Wait. Everything is the same but the name. Just didn't want you to get confused. :)

    Beautifully decorated! I love how everything flows. I've always thought that simple is better when decorating for a holiday. I love what nature has to offer this time of year with fresh greenery, berries and pinecones. :)

    I love it...but if I had my table like that, my husband would want to know why our chairs don't match. lol. the milk vases on the window sill are awesome.

    Fabulous! I really like the white vases lined up in your windowsill. And those numbered white jars with cork lids - I have the #3 jar! Our old house number was 3 so we got a couple of them a while back :) I love them!

    Can I come shop in your house? I swear I see so many cute things I want! I love the topiaries with the little pinecones on them and how you displayed that white storage piece with the silver and white items. Love your large farmhouse table too.

    Every time I picked a favorite, I would scrolled down to the next photo. I would have to go with the white pitchers on the sill and the jingle ribbon. Love this post!
