[dining room]

for the longest i contemplated whether to have an actual dining table in my dining room or a pool table. mom tells me that dad played pool a lot whilst they were dating. contrary to the fact i haven't played in a while,  i love a great competitive rack-up game of pool. unfortunately the pool table lost out and the dining table won.

in lieu of an overdue dinner party with some friends this friday at my place, i thought i would share my dining area with you. there will be a few minor AND major changes to this space in the weeks to come.

I'm so glad you decided to leave your campaign dresser natural. It adds a rich depth to your dining room. These are all thrifting treasures - amazing!

The urns are incredible-dish about those, AND how you made the pears-or did you find them with that finish? Love the price on the candy dish.

I know you have already found a gorgeous dining table and you can't beat the look, but I came across this pool table that converts into a dining table.
