The dining room in our home is, in truth, not used every day….we seem to find other places to gather and eat. It is still a lovely room to enjoy special occasions and to pull out the special things that have been handed down to us through the years!
The corner cabinets are from Crate and Barrel.
The sideboard was a junk store find that I gave a black dry brush paint treatment.
Our table started out as a plain pine farmtable…I was so tired of the orangy pine. I called my husband one afternoon and said …”do you care if I paint the table?” I painted it right there in the dining room:)

The bar a yard sale find last summer.
One of my favorite things in the room is the fingerpainting above the door to the kitchen. My (now17) daughter painted it when she was 3
Glad to be a part of the Block Party! #aroundthetable
I love what you did! So much more fresh and airy than when the table was in its original form. I turned my dining room into a library room so I can enjoy others’ dining rooms instead. Beautiful blue and white vase, rather Asian eh?
Smart Hahn, less cooking 🙂 I LOVE blue and white asian style ceramics!
Actually I cook a lot, but I just don’t need a dining so much. But I love your dining room. You have such sensible taste.
That’s a wonderful room! Great table, too!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Melissa !
I love that you did that to the table. More of a whitewash? As much as I love decorating, I’m not that gifted in the furniture re-do department. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Barb, yes it is a wash of colors, some white and a little blue..I have painted or refinished a lot of furniture over the years. I like being able to change things on a whim!
Beautiful room! Love the orange and blue!
Thanks Beth!
I love a lot of things about this room, but the white paper star and the finger painting are my favorites. I’m also partial to your puppy dog. 🙂
Thanks Diane, I love seeing my kids art aound the house. I have quite a few displayed and they always make me smile!
Great style! I’m especially intrigued by the old lanterns you’ve placed atop the corner cabinets.
Thank you Jennifer, I bought the lanterns from a local specialty gift store in my town several years ago. But now they have them at Pottery Barn! Not truely old…but I love them 🙂
I LOL’d when I read your comment about painting the table. I’ve learned over the years not to ask first. 😉
Ha! Luckily he is generally just fine with with my schemes:) Many years ago we painted the master bedroom…put it all back together and I HATED it! He kindly and calmly helped me repaint the next weekend 😉
I can’t get enough of your home! The color and textures in the details. And again the lighting! Spectacular.
