Final Dining Room/Living Room Reveal



 The best part of any project is the finished product.  There is nothing I love more than sitting in my home and looking at my hard work.  This was one of the largest projects I have taken on but in return has had the largest impact.  I love this room.  I think if I could put my decorating style into one picture it would be this room.  It's rustic and warm, cost effective and glamorous, vintage yet trendy. 

 
We took a beige box of a room with dark inexpensive furniture and painted it "Sage Silver" from Restoration Hardware.  We highlighted the large windows and door on the one wall by painting it white and hanging sheer white drapes.

Our dining room and living room are connected so it was important to me to find comfortable chairs for the head of the table so they could be dragged over for extra occasional seating.  I also wanted something to anchor the two ends of the table.  These chairs are the perfect colour and the perfect size.


Magazine picture...seriously is this my house?  I LOVE it!



This chair is another focal point of the room.  Mr. D spotted it and I thought it was perfect.





 This sweet toy bin is from Target...our poor OCD child freaked when I brought this home and started shifting all her toys from the old red bin to this...I eventually gave up and waited until she went to bed to complete the switch over.  It didn't seem to bother her when their was no other option.

I Spy....

Ashley, over at Little Miss Momma is doing a cute series called "I Spy".  Remember this game from when we were little?  She picks a theme each week and invites her readers/fellow bloggers to link up.  This is my first time linking up.

I SPY: Around the Home

I Spy...

I spy my favourite place in our house...get your minds out of the gutter.  Every morning we put the Boss in bed with us and we eat breakfast in bed.  This time is invaluable.  I would get up at 4 in the morning to ensure we still get our morning time, and I LOVE my sleep.


I spy a growing baby.


I spy a labour of love.  One of my favourite elements in The Boss' nursery.


I spy a place where creativity reigns.  My office (how embarrassing) organized chaos if you will.


I spy a curious Boss unpacking her diaper bag.


I spy my two favourite people cuddling, 


I spy the cutest family photo waiting to be hung.
