| I am excited today to be sharing our fall dining room in conjunction with Home Talks "Home For Fall Blog Hop". What that means is not only will you be able to visit my dining room but also a ton of other fabulous fall inspired posts that you have not seen yet. |
 |
| Come on in and sit awhile. |
 |
| The Nana & The Papa gave me this beautiful nativity set about four years ago. I loved it but I always had trouble finding just the perfect spot for it. Last year it ended up here in the living room. I thought this was a great spot for it until.... |
 |
| I got to changing things up! I have always had trouble doing Christmas in the dining room. I never seemed to have enough decor for in here. I decided to place the Eagle Mirror in here that I purchased off the local yard sale site back in the summer. I had yet to find it a home as well. I also moved the shutters back in here. If you remember they use to be black and I painted them with Old White and Duck Egg. I was not quite sure about their new redo and was actually debating on getting ready to revamp them again but I am glad I did not! They go perfectly in here. |
 |
| I added some fresh greenery and some white lights. |
 |
| My version of the Star of Bethlehem. |
 |
 |
| Yep, I think this spot will be it's new home! |
 |
| The dining table is a work in progress. I wanted to keep it simple since we will have to take everything off of it for Christmas dinner. If I have time I want to try and make a burlap ruffled runner to go under the red runner instead of the piece that is under there now. |
 |
| I purchased this round tray at Goodwill last month. I decided it was a good piece to place under the tree. The tree I already had back from my days in retail. I saw a fellow blogger use silver wear on her tree and for the life of me I can not remember who it was. I visited several blogs of who I thought it was to no avail. I wanted to thank whomever it was for the inspiration! It gave me something to do with the antique silver wear I purchased this past summer. Edited Note: Thanx goes out to Honey over at 2805 for the inspiration! Be sure to pay her visit! She is a sweetie and a fellow Texan! |
 |
| Simply stated is what this space is all about! |
 |
| Don't forget the reason for the season! |

| This is how our dining room looked a few months ago. Since then I have started on revamping the curtain panels and adding other decorative touches. |
 |
| Here is what it looks like today. Ignore the blue on the ceiling. It will soon be white again. |
 |
| Littliest and I purchased these shutters back in December and it took me this long to figure out where to place them. They were already black so all I did was sand them down a little and added some stain. |
 |
| Yep, I am thinking I really am liking them here but what I am not liking is how dark everything is in this room. I debated on whether to paint the shutters but did not know what color. Than I decided I like them black since the mirror was black. I am thinking of maybe adding some plates to the sides as well but am thinking that may make it all look too busy. |
 |
| So that brings me to the buffet. I have been pondering re-staining it or maybe now since it is soo dark and heavy in the room I may just paint the bottom of it and leave the top stained. If I do paint what color would you choose?? Mind you our bench is blue but it may or may not get repainted as well. I am so close to having this room done if only I could figure out this dilemma. What would you do? Ha! I just noticed something in both of the first pics. Can you guess what it is!;) |
