31 Days or Our Home - Day 2 - Dining Room

Tonight, I take you through our Dining Room!  Our Dining Room is on the larger size and for a long time, I could not get it right.  As we grew our family, I was determined to utilize every square inch of our house and no space be wasted. So when I realized that we NEVER used our dining room except for holidays and big parties, I decided to make some changes.  

I turned the table the opposite way and added a sitting area with a small couch and a couple chairs and ottoman.  This area is "my area" to read, have a glass of wine in peace or for all of us girls to hang when the guys are watching a game in the living room.  

I decorated it match the rest of my house, but a bit different with shades of orange.  This is probably my favorite room in the house and I am excited to have pics to remember it :)  Enjoy...

I do have some fall decorations out just so yall know that I don't keep "Boo" signs out in my decor year round :)...

 This room is also wear the dogs like to lay in the sun.  Cooper lays on a pillow in the floor and Oscar lays on this couch.  We are very emotional tonight because Oscar is at the vet with a bad back injury and we are not sure he is going to come back home :(.  Please add him to your prayers and my kids (well me and Shane too, we are a mess!) as we get through this and hopefully have our sweet pup home soon...

 I love this tic tac toe board game and the kids are always playing...err throwing it across the house.  I also keep the latest yearbooks in that tray and Bree loves to look through them and sometimes rip out the binding :).  That is a really cute Halloween bucket too!

I love this candle holder and it is out year round. I love the whimsical touch to it!

 Shane grandfather painted that top picture for us and I will keep it forever!

And of course no room in my house is complete without a picture removed from the frame and "drawn on" by Bree :).

Holler if you have any questions or want to know where something is from!
