Small House Living ~ Dining Room

This is the tiny dining room in our cozy little house.  It is very, very small, and when people are seated, there is no walking space around the table.  Yet it still works really well for us.

The only furniture that actually fits in this room is the dining table, 4 chairs, and bench.  There used to be a wall between this room and the tv room and it was impossible to have any large family gatherings here.  One of my favorite things we have done is remove the wall between these two rooms.  

And the Wall Came Down...

The wall comes down! 

 Hallelujah!

One of the big projects we wanted to do in our home which we've been in for about 3 years is to take down the wall between the dining room and family room.

This is the second room on The Long Awaited Home's

Welcome to our dining room.

Now that we finally have most of the basics in place,

there is really only some tweaking to do.

  

Things Are Getting Whiter Around Here - My Painted Dining Table

Ever since I discovered two of my favorite blogs, The Old Painted Cottage and Our Vintage Home Love, I have wanted to whiten up my home.  I love the look of white with wood.  I love neutrals and texture.  The problem was, I didn't own a single thing that was white.  I couldn't imagine ever having a white home without breaking the bank.  But I started slowly.  I will do a full post on that soon, but today I am sharing my painted dining table.  

DINING ROOM UPDATE

 

I have been busy making some small changes to the dining room.

 

FALL TABLE & YARDSALE FINDS

 

Have you ever gone yardsaling (yardsailing?) and hit the jackpot?  I finally did!  (As usual, I took the photos at night).
