It took a long time to hang anything in this new home. We moved in at my busiest season (ever!) while Cain also was pushing his limit of jobs and commitments we just kept passing each other going and coming from work and the times we were home we just wanted to sit and be quite haha so we kept the house project list short. Now that things are slowing down I am heading more things to that list (sorry Cain!)
The dining room is located right off of the Kitchen and Living room so we are always passing it and I wanted a clean space, I have a thing for clutter (I hate it!) but my personality tends to leave clutter around so I have to fight against that by limit things in a room!
I needed a place to hang my new oils rack and I couldn't think of a better place to hang it. Cain was just happy I was finally hanging something but said I had to hang a picture too (he is missing our pictures!) so I promised I would make room for it!
I was waiting for a table to put in front of this wall and when Target had a sale on Black Friday I jumped on it and got this adorable table. Sadly I didn't read the color of the wood because it came in "off-white" .... ugh. Nothing makes me more frustrated in off-white! Seeing how our house is very white (Oxford White) anything is just a little off, looks yellowing! Soooooo... without panicking too much I ran to the lowes, but more of my Oxford white and painted the off-white parts of this table!
It didn't turn at to bad... I had to just keep reminding myself that nothing is perfect and I had to let go of the imperfectness of it! Haha.
On to these chairs.... LOVE them. I had been eyeing them for a couple months actually. I kept looking at different online stores and checking each price range and sales on them. After going back and forth for too long I decided on the vintage look with the distressed paint (of course it's still very white!)
I got these from online at BCP.com (also where we got our couch, I'll write more about that later)
They are perfect for this room and I don't mind the "cold seats" unlike Cain ... and you might call me picky .... HA. ;)
For the picture choose I just picked the picture I already had with a white frame, this was us in Puerto Rico last December ... it was an advantage that we will never forget (we are going back!)
I thought it tied in with the "Advantage awaits" sign I got at hobby lobby. Also, the vase from hobby lobby and the lavender stems! (aka, Lavender is everyone's favorite oil ;)
Thanks for hopping on and laughing at my crazy idea of an all white house <3 You guys just need to come over and see it for yourself! ;)
