Show us where you live Friday : Dining Room

Kelly's Korner is putting on a tour of homes:


This weeks theme is the Dining Room

I love our dining room - their isn't really much to it, but what we do have says a lot {I think}. I love bold style, bold statements, and bold colors, but I also like to keep it simple. I LOVE bold expressions in a room, but wait did I mention that I hate clutter.. Hate it. Sometimes I think I keep a room looking too "simple" just because I fear the clutter. I would rather have it plain than too much going on. Keep it bold, simple and stylish, that's my motto {well kind of} and DON'T forget the color! :) I try hard to make a room look eye catching without feeling overwhelming. I do hope to eventually get some art work on the walls and possibly a big long mirror for the wall... we'll see.

I recently reupholstered our dining room chairs & I love them!
It was much easier than I have anticipated. I found this fabric on clearance at Joann's.
I had been wanting to add color to the room for awhile, and was eventually inspired by the candles on the dining room table. I was shocked when I actually found some great fabric to match!

Please don't mind my furry friends, they always find their way into my photos.
I love this wallpaper - We purchased it online through Graham & Brown.

When Kevin was working for Southern Air he was given these silver outlet covers.
They worked perfect for this room!

Here is an evening picture of the dining room. :)
{this might be my favorite shot of the room, because I love the window}

Since theirs not much to it, I thought I would post this fun edited shot that I took
after reupholstering the chairs a few months ago.

  3. Very cool room!
    Hey - if you don't have kids - just skip next week. Not every one will have a room to show every week. In a few weeks - we will be doing a spare room so just save yours for then!
