After recently sharing our fireplace makeover with you, I realized I haven’t shared the updates that have taken place in our dining room. It’s probably because these updates happened slowly over the course of a year. One little update at a time our dining room is starting to take shape, and look more and more like the space I envisioned. Of course, I still have things I want to do in the space to add more warmth and character. But after looking back at where we started, and how bare our dining room sat for awhile, I’m excited to share the most recent updates our dining room has had. It’s a great reminder that progress can be made, if it is in the form of one tiny step after another.
Christmas Dining Room | 2022
This year I decorated our dining room for Christmas with nature in mind. I tucked little sprigs of cedar and juniper berries throughout my hutch and buffet. I kept things simple with just a few natural elements tucked in here and there. Come and see ~
Dining Room Progress
can’t believe that we have been in our new home for six months now! I still get that pinch me feeling when I pull in our driveway, just in awe that this home is really ours. There are so many things that we love about being here, but I can honestly tell you for me it’s not having to wonder anymore about what our forever home will be like. There is a deep sense of being rooted here, and knowing that this not a temporary home for our family, that gives me so much contentment I don’t know if I can fully explain it. I mentioned in my Fall Home Tour that I needed to share more about the progress that has taken place in our dining room, so today I’m showing you just what we’ve done so far, including that new paint color and layout this room has taken.

Summer Dining Room | 2020
Hello Friends! I realize it has been a hot minute since I have posted on here. I know this year in general has looked very different for most of us, and I found myself needing to take some time over the course of the summer to really step back and navigate through everything that has been going on. If you caught my last post, I shared this mama’s heart and my thoughts on our kids going back to school. And while today might be September 1st, I realized I never got around to sharing the photos I took of our dining room earlier this summer, because well – life happens, and this past summer I really wanted to unplug with my kids. So before I start sharing all sorts of fall inspiration for this year, I wanted to share how are dining room has looked over theses past couple of months. I hope you enjoy seeing our dining room decorated for summer.

A New Sign Inspired by the Book!
Hello Friends! I am so excited to share a new piece of decor hanging in our house with you today! A new sign! And not just any sign, this one has such a special meaning, because it’s a quote from my book! Seeing my words displayed in this beautiful artistic way, and the gentle reminder that it brings with it, has my heart overloaded with joy! I’m so excited to share it with you today!
Our first Gathering
Ohh Happy Friday friends, the weekend is here!! I’m not sure what you have planned, but I hope there’s at least one thing you are looking forward to. Today I’m sharing a story I haven’t shared here on the blog before. It’s about the very first dinner party my husband and I had – our first gathering if you will. I’ve shared my heart behind the book, and of course my love for creating tablescapes, but long ago, before blogging or even tablescapes were a thing, I found myself sitting at our hand-me-down dining room table, making handmade invitations inviting our friends to our first ever dinner party!
