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.
New Rug in the Dining Room
I finally pulled the trigger on getting a rug for our dining room. I’ve been contemplating different options for a couple years now. Yes YEARS, you read that right. If I’ve learned anything in design, it’s not to rush the process. Don’t make haste decisions that you aren’t 100% confident in. Not only can you potentially waste money, you waste time and energy on a piece that wasn’t meant to be, and it end up stunting your decision to make the right choice because you live with “good enough” for far too long. I actually had a completely different rug picked out for this room, so let me tell you why I ended up pulling the trigger on not only a different color than my original choice, but also a much bolder pattern!
Farmhouse Toolbox Vignette
One of my favorite tricks for adding decor into the dining room is removing all the plastic wrap from candle sticks, and then placing them in a clear vase. It’s decor but practical at the same time because they are at hands reach when you want to have a candle light dinner. Come see how I incorporate it into a simple farmhouse vignette in our dining room …
