~~~COTTAGE DINING AREA~~~

I've been bringing a few items in for the dining area of the cottage.  The "original" plan to put the dining table in another room, was changed.  This is plan B....I like it better!

This is a basic, simple look ..... I have a few wall areas I need to fill.....it's good for now!



I'm still not sure about the lace curtains.....I do love them but I may change it up later on.  There is sooo much going on right now, I am using what I have.  I am going to try soft, long panels to frame the windows...that may look better.
I want to add a little industrial, rustic look in places too!  Once we get officially moved...then the decorating fun begins!

Have a blessed and wonderful week~~~from one sweetie to another~~~Roxie

    Oh my Roxie this is beautiful I tried to zoom in on your chandelier but it wouldn't let me. I read that you may change from the lace curtains but I think they look magnificent. I love the whole look!!! It is divine...

    Hello Roxie,
    I'm so glad that the dining table is working where you want it to be. It's a challenge in these older homes, to make everything work out, sometimes :)

    Love the lace, but I can see that you have some French doors to address; I can see how that may change the window treatment plans.

    I also had a set of French doors in a bay window type of area to address. I've been here just three months, and I've already changed that window treatments.
    It works much better for me now, and most importantly, lets in a lot more light.

    Just a few more days, and you'll be living there full time, right?

    Until next time....
    Kerin

    Love your dining room...it's so pretty!! I love the idea of adding a little industrial and rustic to the mix. I've added some of it into our living room and I think it looks great with cottage style.

    Roxie,
    It looks beautiful. I love it all. Your chandelier is gorgeous and love the table and chairs and the sweet wrought iron bench. Too sweet. Your cottage is looking so sweet.

    I have to first thank you for such a lovely comment on my blog post today. You are so genuine and sweet!

    Your dining room is so pretty. I can see how the windows are difficult because they are so different from each other. It looks like you don't have much room on the left side of the window with the double door there. Maybe you could do a valance there and a soft swag on the other? I, too, love mixing a little rustic with my more feminine/cottagy things. Maybe a rustic basket on the table, you could even do your curtains in bleached burlap or linen for texture. I really love mixing and matching. Your home is just beautiful and you have so many great ideas. Keep up the good work! :)

    What a beautiful room - I have scrolled down your posts and found your kitchen - that is beautiful too - it is small though - where do you keep everything is there a utility and pantry somewhere.

    Roxie,
    Your dining room looks lovely, I adore that lil bench, so cute and charming. Like the lace curtains too, they especially look good on the window by the doors, but
    I could see how some long panels would look nice at the window to maybe add a softer look. All very pretty.
    Thanks for sharing it with us.
    Blessings, Nellie

    Hi Sweetie! Love that French Door too...or is it a patio door? You have so much light in this room, it just makes the white glow. What an inviting and bright place to have dinner, or a dinner party. I know the work needed is overwhelming, but you are doing such a great job here.
    I like lace curtains, but I would trust your judgement any day. Let that artist in you fly!
    Blessings,
    Ceil
