Feature Friday: Dining Room

This moving/staging thing is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated (we moved 3 weeks ago).  Our third room is finally finished (the living room and little girl room are the other two).  This is the dining room.

After

I made the table vignette fall-like in anticipation of cool weather.  Finally it is only going to be in the 70's today here.  Yay!  It's been in the 90's forever and I know that's nothing to a lot of you but I'm still ready for a day of coolness.

I'm totally obsessed with white dishes right now so I used ours to decorate.  If you come over to eat, you get the plastic kid plates.  Haha!  Sorry.  

We don't drink (alcohol) around here but I like the look of the bottles so I took some sparkling cider and soaked the bottles in water and vinegar to get the labels off.

Then I got a white paint Sharpie and wrote on them.  My handwriting isn't great but I like the white written look on them.  Our last name is Rich, by the way.  Not that we put being rich up there with love and home.  :)

I bought some more white plates at the thrift store and glued thick string on the back so I could hang them on the wall.  

And here it is again in it's entirety.  The clock will be featured next week so come back over to The Turquoise Piano!
