A COUPLE OF CHANGES/ADDITIONS TO THE DINING ROOM


Hello friends!
I hope your week is going well.
Around here life has been a bit busy, but even then I have been making some small updates around the house.




You all saw our new dining room before the holidays. I pretty much didn't have any time to do anything 
with it until now. The changes are small but I think I am done for now. 


The first thing I did was to give the wood tray a tiny makeover. 
 


I wanted to make it a little more interesting to look and I thought of adding fabric to the center of the tray, but then I decided to use a pretty card stock I found at Hobby Lobby so it will be easier to change it if I get tired of it.


To decorate it I used a nice crystal vase, some pretty burlap flowers I also had from Hobby Lobby and the candles 
I bought for my Thanksgiving centerpiece





Did you noticed the new floor candle holders?


My son and dil gave them to me as a Christmas gift and I just love them. The pillar candles are wax flameless LED.




And finally, I made a drop cloth runner for the dining table.
That was a job and a half since the runner is eight feet long. To finish it, I added some trim to it.





I am happy with the way it looks now so, unless I just see something that I just got to have :), I plan to leave 
this room like this for a while. What do you think?
 

I will be back soon to show you what I have done with the family room and kitchen area.
Enjoy the rest of your day. Stay safe and warm!

  13. Your dining room looks beautiful, serene and inviting. I think you used just the right elements and I love the runner, centerpiece and the floor candle holders you got for C'mas from your dear son and Dil.
    Baby update is at my latest post, she's two months old. She's now in Madrid and she's also a citizen of Spain too. I feel she's so far away now. We hope to go in May for her Christening.
    Thank you for your sweet comment my friend.
    Muchos abrazos,
