A good friend of mine recently bought a house that had sconces in almost every room. I’ve never thought too much about sconces, mainly because wiring the electrical through our plaster walls could cause a few problems. But now I can’t get them out of my head! I’d love to add a couple above our buffet in our dining room, and maybe in our master bedroom too.
When I told my husband, my family, and anyone else who would listen that I was painting our dining room purple, they thought I was crazy. Well I’m glad I didn’t listen, because I absolutely LOVE it, and I’ve gotten more compliments on this room color than any other room in the house!
Don’t you just love how design trends reappear? I remember a few friends of mine growing up had canopy beds, and they always felt dreamy and even royal in some small way. Then when I would see canopy beds just a few years later, they just felt cheesy and immature. Well, they’ve come back in a big way and I have to admit, I’m smitten.
Is Christmas really this week?! How did that happen?! This year has been so full, on both a personal and professional level. If you’re just joining us, I quit my job as a non-profit accountant in August to pursue self employment full time in the marketing and content management industry, and to blog of course!
So when the One Room Challenge rolled around, I had to spend some love on my new home office! Lucky for me, Tonic Living offered to sponsor my makeover and set me up with two stunning pairs of custom, lined drapes!
Earlier this week, I shared our foyer and living room all decorated for Christmas. Today I’m sharing a glimpse into our dining room!
The dining room is definitely the most formal room of the house, so I tried to stick with that theme when decorating. Y’all know I love some gold, but in this room I tried to mix a lot of metals and textures, so we have gold, silver, and crystal, with a few pops of red and green. We finally got our vintage sconces hung above the buffet, but I still have plans for this room. I’ll be sharing those plans next week, so be sure to stop by.
Ok, on to the tour!
