Our first Gathering

10/18/2019 By Bre

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!

Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! We are kicking things off this week with a beautiful summer themed tablescape tour hosted by Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful.

My Dining Room Style

05/07/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends!! Last week I shared about how it’s ok if you don’t have your dream house, and why I think that makes you a better decorator, and where to even start with the decor in your own home. So today I’m going to share with you how my dining room style evolved into the space you see today!

My Inherited China Set

04/01/2019 By Bre

I looked at my husband, and he looked back at me utterly confused, and without hesitation I confidently exclaimed “I’ll take them”! I wasn’t exactly sure, and didn’t really know then why I wanted them so badly, I just knew it in my bones – these plates were going to be part of my story. You can imagine the thrill in my husbands voice when he asked me on the car ride home why I said yes, but I just shrugged my shoulders, and replied “They’re just plates”. Meaning how harmful could a few boxes of fine china really be?

Organizing the Buffet

01/24/2019 By Bre

This year I’ve really been embracing the “fresh start” mentality that comes with the new year. I’ve been cleaning out closets and drawers. And one of those places I’ve ignored for far too long is the buffet in our dining room. So today I’m sharing some simple things I did to organize the buffet and made it SO much more efficient.

New Darker Paint Color in the Dining Room

09/27/2018 By Bre

I took the plunge. I pulled the trigger, and I didn’t look back, and you want to know what?! I am LOVING it!! If you caught my post last week, than you probably already know what I’m talking about. I shared how I was contemplating a few different dark shades of gray-navy blue, and how honestly I had been wanting to paint this color for over a YEAR! Yes you read that correctly, over a year! While I’m happy to say, I made a choice, I took the leap, I went for it, and I LOVE it!! Yep, it’s true! I painted our dining room, after debating to do it for over a year, and I love the new darker color! Take a look!

Dining Room Sources 2018

04/04/2018 By Bre

Since updating our dining room recently, I realized the last time I listed sources for our dining room was 3 years ago! So I’ve done my best to source all the items you see in our dining room currently, but if I forgot something, or you can’t find something, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am more than happy to help you find whatever you are looking for! With that being said, here is the most current to date source list for our dining room.

Christmas in the Dining Room {Part 2.}

12/13/2017 By Bre

Hello Friends! Sometimes I get asked the question, especially after I share an elaborate tablescape post, if my dining room always looks that way? The answer is always NO, because let’s face it, sometimes my dining room table gets lost under the piles of stuff that life can accumulate, to the point where my husband will ask if we still own a dining room table?! Ha Ha! For the most part our dining room looks like it did in the Holiday Housewalk this year. Well when I clean it for company ….
