A Peek At The Dining Room -It's PURTY- I Promise

Some of you know that I purchased some 

WAVERLY FABRIC

for the dining room

last Fall before Thanksgiving

and BEFORE I got pneumonia.

You can see that post by clicking here.

So, I DID get the drapes made

and I DID get them hung.

I had enough left to make a

"runner" for the center of the table.

It's actually a big square that I placed in the center

because I also want to be able to use it as a topper

on my round dinette table.

Yeah- I'm dual purpose clever like that.

I will do a whole post about 

the whole room shortly.

Meanwhile,

Here is the edge of the curtain over the

dining room doors that lead to the side porch.

I guess I should have pulled the curtain back a bit 

off the picture of the 

FRENCH RABBITS.

That's what that picture was sold as
when I bought it about 15 years ago
 but I am pretty sure those are

HIMALAYAN RABBITS!

The little collection below all has meaning for me...

Clear glass from some of the kids- candles in crystal

from some other kids.
The cutting board was a gift from our good friends,
Jeff & Barb.
We visited their beautiful home in 
the Carolinas here.
He is a wood worker extraordinaire.
Also on that cutting board is a

 Green Bay soda bottle 
from my friend, Kris,

@ JunkChicCottage..

She left the price tag on so I would know how much she loves me.lol

Anyway,

I did set the table with some dishes

I have had for a while.

These suckers are HEAVY!!!

They are sitting on chargers that are monogrammed

that belonged to my hubby's grandmother Clara.

The dishes are Isabella by JCPenney
(believe it or not)

My daughter might, or might not be, trying to get them away from me

too bad for you, baby girl.

 And..here they are again-

those wonderful monogrammed napkins

that my oldest son gave me for Christmas.

Just so you know-

this is what that dining room wall looked like when we moved in.

I know- crappy picture.

Here is a brief after...

Side by side:

That is NOT all I have to show you but I do have a

few things to FINISH because I certainly don't want you  to 

SEE THIS!!!!

Yeah--THAT would be embarrassing to have you

SEE THAT!

Have a wonderful Thursday...

and remember YOU TOO can show the messes

real life creates.
