My Dining Room

Being a newly wed, and in my first home, Fall decor wasn't right on hand. Thankfully I found some inexpensive resources, some free time, and was able to get to work! Here are the results of my Wednesday evening!

First things first... without the table settings!  My house has all arched entries, and this is the view walking into my dining room. Now for some close-ups:





Above my buffet,I stole some odds and ends form my moms fall decor stash, and added a cornucopia to the scene!


Next, since my at least 30 year old cabinets are too shallow for my dishes, I had to resort to shelves, which my husband painted. Here is my fall touch on the shelves...




I found some glass vases I had stowed away, and filled it with acorns, fall berries all to make a nice center piece, for very cheap!

My wonderful oil lamp ($6, just had to brag).


My table with settings!


These are my favorite napkin rings, given by my mother. Birds are my theme.. LOVE them!

And of course, since this blog is my "brag" page, I must share my dining room paintings from my husband (which are always temporary, since they are always selling).
