Dining Room - Perfect Table

Oh, the drama of the dining room......

We finally got the correct table delivered...and guess what....it has a problem too.....so I am not kidding....we have had 4-5 deliveries and are still waiting.....last Saturday....the furniture company came again.....and guess what?  No table on the truck.  It is getting ridiculous!!

Good news....Haverty's is making it RIGHT.  Just a lot of bumps along the way.  The problem with this particular table is some divets on one end....and they consider that a replaceable event.

So while we wait...here are the most recent photos, along with my mother-in-law's china.......so pretty!



Hand-Painted Antique Meissen German Porcelain - almost 100 years old






Let me tell you....we are LOVING these hand-scraped floors.....see the texture?  Doesn't show dog dribble, no scratch marks....nothing...and such a gorgeous warm color!

Decorating the Dining Areas

Time is just flying......can't believe I haven't gotten photos on here yet....

Accessorizing and staging is going slow........very slow......so all I have to show is the physical tables......still need rugs, wall decor, etc.   I have decided I am only going to purchase what I desperately LOVE and nothing else...so if it takes me 3 years to put the house together, so be it.  lol

Formal Dining Room:

This room is a work in progress....EngineerHubby cannot decide what he does and does not like (notice normally the wife decides these things????)....so we are in limbo....the table in this photo is going back....the buffet that was finally delivered has problems...several cracks.....going to be repaired/replaced...but his beloved chairs are here....long story......

Sherwin Williams Peppercorn, Haverty's Sterling Heights

The light fixture is a dramatic improvement over the light bulb that hung from the ceiling for the last few months!!  Another Joss & Main purchase, I couldn't be happier with my 'regularly $1200 light for $299"....it blends nicely with the other lighting in the foyer and breakfast nook.
