Dining area makeover...

Earlier in the month, I shared a picture of my Pottery Barn inspiration dining room. Of course, in the magazine, the dining room was GIGANTIC and had seating for 8-10 people. We do not have a formal dining room, just a smaller breakfast area that we call our dining room.

I am happy to say that this room is complete, minus decorating for holidays. We are so happy with how it turned out! It is delicate, fresh, warm, and beautiful...if all those attributes can be used together. We decided against the chair cushions for now because of our children. I mean, this room gets used a lot, so we needed something that was fresh and easy to clean. Dream above dreams: to have gorgeous place settings out all year round. Reality: a 5 and 7 year old boy live here.

Again, here is the PB inspiration room...

And here is our dining room...

This was the final addition from Overstock.com.

It is the perfect size; delicate and sparkly, but rustic and appropriate. Happiness!
