Tour de Casa!

Yup... I always check out Kelly's blog early Thursday night to see if she has posted her Show us where you live post and sure enough - it's out there AND there are already about 40 posters!! Man I am late!!!

So I grabbed my camera and off I went. Tonight tour consists of the Dining Room. Our Dining room is small and cozy and still in need of some major furniture help. I have searched and search for a buffet type piece, to no avail. I did happen to find a small table that I personalized with our last name initial and added a homemade cross (my sister knows my love of crosses and made it for me one Christmas for our Homemade Giftathon). I also put out some of our favorite plates and cloth napkins as decor. Stop on by and sit a while.

Looking in to the dining room through the living room. It looks like a really small opening, but actually it quite big. You can also see a smidge of my cross collection on the wall to the right (that's in the living room)
A closer pic of the dining room.
Looking to the dining room from the kitchen (why does this picture look so yellow??) I still need some practice with the new camera.

ahhhh, much better!
Here is the 'buffet' that I made with a small table. I got this table at an antique shoppe for $10!! You can see here a small collection of our favorite plates as well as the homemade cross that my sister made for me.

In this picture you can see the entrance to the kitchen as well as my guitar. Love to sing, but can't play worth a crapito. I'll leave that to the professional musicians. Mine is more decoration than anything! LOL. Oh I keep showing you pics of the table, but never really talk about it - the table is from Ikea (don't know the model) and it was given to us by my uncle with 6 chairs. It has extenders that turn it from a 6 seater to a 10 seater! Whoa!

Closeup of the guitar. What a beauty!

Closeup of the art I got these two pictures from my aunt. They are scenes from little cafe type places. The bigger picture (on another wall) is from Garden Ridge and we totally scored because it matches so well with the others!

Look who had to get in on the action. JonPierre! He is such a cutie!

Next week's tour consists of nurseries/children's room. I guess since we don't have children, I will give you a tour of Pierre's accommodations... Stay Tuned!

Don't forget to stop by Kelly's blog to see all the wonderful dining rooms!! You just might get some ideas for your own place???

Hasta!
