Show Us Your Life: Dining Room

For the first time, we have a formal dining room! The whole room was basically planned around our dining room set. I saw it in Dallas, and it was so unique. It's one of the only "investment" purchases we've made as far as furniture goes! I found the drapery fabric by chance at Hobby Lobby. It has the EXACT colors I needed--brown and a subtle gray. I still plan to change the chandelier; it's just not my style. I also want to accessorize a lot more in here. But it's coming along nicely!

Here it was before:


And here it is now:


I got this buffet for only $175 at an antique shop. The lamps came from Kirkland's.


The mirror is temporary; I'm browsing for a new one!


Random little tablescape. It was all I had around the house! :)


Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll visit again soon!
