my dining room

this morning i noticed how nicely my dining room is coming together. the crazy thing is, i didn't realize i was even working on it! it all started with this cabinet. i wanted something totally different from the modern dining table. i think it gives the room a cottage-y feel. i painted it white- leftover paint from kaylee's room and added mustard yellow and black + white scrap booking paper to the back. each row has a different design. i really love how it turned out.
i ended up taking the doors off in the middle to hold my wine.

my next purchase ended up being the tea towel from this etsy shop. its simple like the table and the color matches the color inside the cabinet. then last tuesday i ended up with the curtains. yep, the same curtains that i loved from making it lovely. they were on hold for someone else but that someone else never returned to get them. so lucky me!
the curtains tie in all the colors nicely and it adds some unexpected flair. just a few other things need to be done before i can call it finished. {like moving my computer to the office, taking down the ugly ceiling fan and maybe adding some floating shelves or artwork. still want to keep it simple and uncluttered.
