to see what thoughts some of my fantastic readers had on the issue.
Over time, dining rooms really do accumulate a whole lot of “stuff” and this just doesn’t work well with the fact that dining rooms are also supposed to be special, pretty, tidy places that we can sit back and relax in.When you’re planning out what you want to do with your dining room, always think about how you can add more storage.
And then add some more!You never know when you’re going to inherit great aunt Mildred’s wedding china and you want to have a safe and dedicated place to keep important things like that.Also think about even being able to store serving dishes, extra cutlery, napkins, candles, tablecloths, holiday dishes, glass ware, vases, and stuff like that!.
Stick to your color plan.Since this room is attached to our grey and white living room, the natural choice was to continue that in this room.
I love that color pallet too because it feels calm and clean to me and just makes me feel happy.
And now this room makes me feel happy too!So one of the things that’s been bugging me a little bit is the big blank wall next to the one side of the bed.
I had no idea what I was going to put there, but I knew it was too big to leave blank.I’ve also been a little concerned that it was going to look too new in here and not “farmhousy” enough with all of the new stuff I’ve been buying and planning to buy.. Of course… of COURSE, the solution was right under my nose, using things I already had on hand, and completely free!
Isn’t that always the way?.I gathered a bunch of stars from around the house that I had, but wasn’t too excited about any more.
