Our Home In Pictures: Dining Room

First and foremost! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your incredibly kind comments!!! We do live in a really peaceful environment... We both work very hard and we love coming home at the end of our days --

Last week after I posted our outside, Mr. Realife asked why I didn't put up a picture of the whole house! I have no idea... so, here it is!

...I know you'll sleep better tonight :)

Ok... on with the Dining Room...

Standing on the back porch, this is what you see...

A look from our foyer

ignore the messy coat rack

The lighting... {sorry for the blurry pix}


When looking for dining furniture, we kept looking for a "set"
Our interior 'consultant' {because he did not design our interior}
Told us not to buy a set, but separate pieces that went with
each other -- Wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm getting used to it


Our table...

I love fresh flowers and like to get them when
they are half off at the store - they last about a week.


While it's not "matchy matchy" as my desire for
traditional design would like... I do love our server...

Inside our server, you'll find these really cool fish from Mexico...

The art you see leaning against the wall
was painted by a local artist my husband likes...
Who knew this southern boy had a modern side to him --
Clearly not framed the way we want, it has yet to be hung :)

And of course... this is what you'll see
when we forget our sweet baby on the porch
{yes... those are 'wet nose' streaks you see}

I think that's it! Next? Kitchen!!
