Dining Room update

Okay, so I haven't been updating this blog as much as I would have liked, but mostly that's because instead of working on one project (or room) at a time, I try to do a hundred things all at once! ;) So I don't have any finished projects to share, just a bunch of half started ones.

I have made some progress with my dining room though so I thought I'd share some pictures. I forgot to take a before photo, but originally I had an oblong table in it with no chairs, and the table was just a catchall covered in clutter. And completely bare walls!

Now I have a new (to me) round table with chairs (hooray!) and a spiffy rug underneath. I've added some wall art to my blank walls...a chalkboard and candle sconces, and some decorative mirrors I got from Ikea for only $2 each! I just wish I had gotten 2 more. I also got this cute little wine rack table for really cheap. I'm not sure if i'm going to keep that, because I can't really keep wine bottles in it with a toddler running about, and it's also a bit smaller than I'd like. So I'm still trying to decide on that...I might replace it with something a little bigger later, if I find something I like. Anyway, on to pictures!

Now the room still isn't finished...I've got to hang some drapes, and I'm planning on giving my barstools (not pictured) a makeover. The other half of the room isn't pictured because its...well, a mess. The pass-through window counter has become a catchall so that needs to be cleared...and my desk is also on the other side of the room. Yes, you read that right. My desk is in in the dining room...that's how small my house is! No other place to put it! But anyway, I thought I would share my progress so far!
