This is a sponsored post by the maker of Orange Glo™ cleaning products. I received compensation and/or a free sample for this review but the opinions are 100% my own. With so much to consider during the holiday season, one way I like to be prepared for entertaining is by keeping my dining room holiday…
Is there a more versatile piece of furniture than a bench? I think not. I added one to our dining room recently (see my last post) knowing if I ever wanted to go back to the old seating arrangement I could find a spot for the bench elsewhere. A bench makes the perfect accent at…
I made some changes to the dining room this month. This space has always been a mix of formal and casual, I dress it up for holiday dinners and dress it down the rest of the year. My style leans more transitional, I always mix classic pieces with modern accents and I love to decorate with subtle…
Yesterday on the airplane ride home I was feeling rested and inspired. Taking a vacation has that effect :) I came up with a long To Do list of things I want to accomplish around the house this fall. Funny how when you live with so little while traveling you realize you really don’t need…
Here we go again! Friends I’m so happy to announce I have a new blank canvas to work with, last week we closed escrow on the purchase of another house in Las Vegas, like I’ve done before I’ll be traveling back and forth once a month to oversee the renovation. Here is a first glance…

I’m a huge fan of mixing wood dining tables and white chairs in different styles so I’m seeking that same look in this dining nook in progress. I just love these chairs that I found at a thrift store, they were a great score, I paid $60 for the four, the back detail is so…
I like to switch things up around the house so recently I made some changes to our dining room. I replaced the plain cream silk curtains with patterned window panels and the light fixture with a white beaded chandelier I’ve been crushing on for a year. Our dining room looks out to the rear courtyard…
I’m loving palettes and textures inspired by tropics right now, perhaps it’s because we’re off on our own vacay next week for Matt’s birthday (Kauai here we come!) and it’s hard to work with the thought of the islands just days away. Also, touches of tropical are trending right now, have you noticed? Summer is…
I was admiring the design work of Terra Cotta Properties recently and stumbled across some spaces in their portfolio that are really wonderful. One favorite is this versatile dining space and I loved everything about it, then I remembered I started a “takeaway” series last year and for unknown reasons (I forgot?) I stopped those…
A few months ago I was approached by World Market to partner on a room makeover – they inquired if I would take their products and completely redo a space top to bottom. Um * ahem * “Yes!” I replied being a fan of their store for over a decade. I had the perfect candidates…
Hey y’all! I’m very excited to be hosting the Fall Craft Link Par-tay tomorrow! Over the weekend I added a few fun seasonal touches to the dining room. And I made soup. Because we all know soup and fall go hand in hand. Last week, I brought home a bunch of gourds and pumpkins and…
My friends, I’ve been keeping a secret from you. It took me over five years to finish my dining room, and when I say ‘finish’ I mean install a much needed countertop, a backsplash, and some hardware on the built in cabinets. Truth be told, there was just a piece of plywood as a countertop…
Last week, I posted some of my favorite dining spaces. Here are the rest of the images I’ve collected over the last few years. [The remainder of this post has been removed by the author.]
