Our little dining room is a lot like me..it has been undergoing lots of changes in the last year…heart and home…you see? they do connect..wink
It started out like this
to this
then to this
and then…
and over the weekend to this…and we LOOOOOve it!
I couldn’t wait to show you..now it is not perfectly filled up with perfectly placed vignettes
but I am tired of dragging my feet so I am doing what The Nester says and taking it to heart
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful! can I hear an Amen?
I had four 1×12′s leftover from making mason jar chandelier’s..all I had to buy was brackets…which honestly were more expensive than
I thought they’d be…geesh! 8 bucks each!
The hardest part was deciding on what bracket to use…did I want to go industrial or corbels?
I went with these brackets cause they matched the door handles and honestly it was all they had that I even semi loved at Home Depot.
Lissa’s was my inspiration..with the warm wood and white. One of my favorite looks if I do say so.
I mixed some Early American and Jacobean to take some of the red out of the Early American…don’t know if you can do that
but I did and nothing bad happened…
The green dresser filled the spot for a short while but we are all giddy about our shelves over here at the House of Belonging…
we stop and just stare..and smile and say…I really like that! no wait..LOVE that:)
Now I have a place to put my white dishes I am obsessed about now
I know I’m going to need more shelves soon…
Grace loved them so much she framed a picture of herself and snuck it up there with Nikki and I thinking
the other did it…neither of us had the heart to say…that doesn’t really go there
and then laughed like crazy when Grace quietly giggled.
That’s our Grace…
(this sweet sign is available to purchase in the shop)
but on a serious note…stop dragging your pretty little feet and just START!
One area..one thing..it doesn’t have to be perfect…
the only thing that matters is you are making your home beautiful for YOU and YOUR family.
now go get some chips and guacamole for me will ya?

Love the wood/white look!
Love it at every stage! Such good advice. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
Wonderful! Love it! And that sign… I love all of your signs!! I love each stage of change, but it just keeps getting better and better! Imperfect perfection!
I love both transformations.

Girl it’s gorgeous. Love that light. Those chairs…that sign with your cool shelves. All of it. I have that rooster too btw.
Love the yellow chairs! The area is bright. Nice!
Amen and AMEN!
Love the red touches!!!!! Love them. Now where did you put that darling lil lamp with the red trim? Can you put it on the shelves and perhaps wrap the cord with a red/green fabric. (Not Christmas fabric, but maybe a floral with red/yellow and green? A lil lamp on those shelves would be darling.
Love it that you added red. Now it looks fab.
Just where did you put the table with the green legs????
And where is that LOVELY piece of brown wood furniture? OH MY GOSH……..I love that.
You are doing such an excellent job. You have made me want to make changes too………let’s see what I can do to juice up my dining room!!!!!!!
oh my goodness….i love those shelves so much…it opens the space up!!
Everything looks clean and crisp!
Writing you back today…..loved your email.
T, I’m bowing
really low here
to your talent,
your eye, but
most of all, your
heart, which is
so evident in all
that you do!!!
I cannot believe
that you painted
those chairs at
least TWICE.
Please bottle your
energy, girlie, and
send it up north
to me : )
Love!
