A Spring Table/Dining Room Adventures

Dining Room

I hosted a party a couple of years ago with beautiful spring details on my table!

Since it’s spring this week, I thought I’d share a fun party I hosted a couple of years ago for my sister-in-law. My dining room back then was very light and bright. I loved it.
A spring table with a cake on a stand and tulips beside the cake.
A white table setting with pops of pink.
There are pink tulips on the table and a cake on a clear glass stand.
To the bride to be is on the cake.
It got me thinking that my dining room has changed a lot in the short 3 years that we’ve lived here. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to see some different decorating attempts. So this is what the dining room first looked like after renovations.

DECORATE DINING ROOM – ATTEMPT #1

Dining room with a white hutch and wine on the top.

A wooden table with chairs covered in white cloth.

There is a chandelier above the table.
Then I got the cabinet from Pottery Barn and shortly held that little party above for my sister-in-law.

A crock is on the table with hydrangeas in them.

There is a neutral table runner on the table.
I wanted to create a cleaner look. I got some new dining room chairs {woot woot}. I painted the walls this grey/green color. Actually I wanted it to be more grey than green but it didn’t work out. I thought it was okay at first but now I’m wanting to go back to something lighter.

A mirror is above the white table with a scale on it.

The dining room chairs uncovered left with fabric.
It’s also my goal to restain the top of my table and paint the legs.
{You can read about it in my goals post here}

Dark coloured walls in the dining room.
So stay with me and I will show you a proper before and after soon. I’m planning to repaint the dining room and the table sometime this spring!!!
Have a great week!

    My dining room has gone through countless transformations over the past 12 years we have been in this house! I like the way it looks now, but I still have plans to change a few things! I love to see how yours has changed! Life to the full, Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle

    It’s fun to see our rooms in photos and how they evolve. You have a lovely dining room, nice and large for many to be able to gather around your table.

    Your dining room looks really nice. I enjoyed seeing the changes you made to your room over the years. I love the table settings for your sister in law. May I ask where your large cabinet is from?

    OMG I LOVE the hutch…where did you find it? It’s just perfect for what I am looking for in my new home.

      Thanks so much! We got it at Pottery Barn. It’s a modular set so you can build it the way you’d like. I can’t remember the collection name but I know for sure the stain is called Tuscan Chestnut so just add that name in the search box on the PB website and it should come up 🙂
