It's a gorgeous Saturday morning. The sky is clear and a brilliant blue, and the sun is pouring into my very cold home, adding some additional comfort. "The boys" (my brother and bf) are sitting around playing shoot em up video games, and I'm snuggling with my olliebear, drinking coffee all while researching new ways to re-design our dining room.
Our dining room is possibly the worst room in our home, and the least used. Right now it's home to a bench, a basket filled with shoes and a hand-me-down dining table. I've got some art work on the walls but it doesn't really make much sense design wise to have that these random pieces of art hung there.
So, when things settle down financially and we have the money to do the renovations that I want, we plan to make big changes there. The walls are going to be painted gray. The square "faux tile" linoleum floor is coming up and some wood flooring is going down (the flooring from the dining room with also be put in our living room, allowing me to say goodbye to that nasty carpet). And when all is said and done I imagine a more simple art display and utilizing the space for a desk & cozy chair. I'm also looking for rugs as I want the space clear and open.
These are my inspiration photos.


I wish I could afford that desk from West Elm and that chair from Anthropologie. Sigh.
