The Oaks - Dining Room


Before



After


The last space on the main level is DONE, REVEALED AND READY TO GO!!

I keep saying this for almost every room in the house but it is so crazy that we are at this point in the process! Coming up on 2 years since we started this project. It felt like it was never going to get to point and yet at the same time it is finally here!

I wasn't really sure the route I would go for dining chairs. I did actually purchase 2 whicker chairs for the ends of this table, but with the legs going across the bottom they just didn't fit. So I went back to square 1 and ended up coming across and going with these

Fabric Dining Chairs that come in a set of 2 for a really great price!

My hopes is that the soft cream/gray fabric will hold up well with this being a rental home!

I haven't added much to the walls at the Oaks. I have waited for the perfect spot and this corner in the dining room is that place!

The vintage bird portraits come in a pack of 4!

Over a year ago I had gone to Ikea, I saw this table   in person and immediately thought of this exact spot. I loved the coloring (little did a know it would be almost the exact same as the flooring). 2 large pieces on the top and square leg end caps. I couldn't be more happy with this find!! It's solid oak and I think it will stand the test of time.

I get asked probably once a day what curtains I use. I have used these exact Pinched Pleated Blackout Curtains in the entire Oaks as well as Lakeside. I love the pleated look at draws in a little more of a vintage traditional vibe.

I went with the Gold Curtain Rod to add a pop of gold and shine to the main level.

We don't have an entry closet, so I made a little spot for coats to hang out of wooden pegs. It worked out great!

You have probably noticed I have this rug in a few different places. It is a durable rug with a pattern but not too color drenched, which I really like by the front door!

We can't wait to host you around the table :)

The Lakeside Cottage - Garage Bonus Space

If you haven't put it together yet because I say it time and time again, but the cabin is truly my happy place!! I absolutely love it here. It's my spot that I can truly unplug, be intentional with family and friends and enjoy the simplicity of life. What it's really all about at the end of the day... We LOVE to host here at The Cabin on Dunns during the summertime. Almost every night we have company over to enjoy this little slice of heaven with us. Over the years we have added to our collection of hosting fun to do with everyone. Below I put together some of our favorites and what we use most while company is over!
