Home Tour: Dinning Room

The Dinning room is where we all sit down and enjoy a nice meal which we are thankful for and catch up with each other without any distractions.

This sign is on a wall to the left of the dinning room and I love it and it speaks for itself



I am in the process of a little sprucing up kitchen/dinning

 The china hutch I am in the process of Annie Sloan chalk paint and distressing it.

I would love to find someone who could add doors and instead of glass use chicken wire.

My papaw the one who does woodwork it 82 and not able to get into his shop and so I am on the hunt for a carpenter. Depending on how the hutch looks I will decided what to do with the other pieces.

I am wanting to turn my neutral space into an old farmhouse kitchen and dinning



 

I am thinking of moving these curtains to the living room and getting new ones but I am not sure what to get. What so you think would look good here and make it look farmhouse 

 

I know I don't have a centerpiece but this table gets to much use and it seems like we always move it to see around or spread stuff out so for right now I am fine without one. This candle will be ok 

I couldn't get any better lighting so it looks a little dark.

This curio cabinet was in Maci room and had all her little trinkets but she moved rooms and changed stuff and so I ended up with it. The top is Maci's real Tea Set my Momma Lou got her for her first Christmas. The rest is odds and ins to my 2 sets of China. The Red is Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles China and the White is my Christmas Morning China. Love my kidos but their finger prints are everywhere. When they leave me one day I will no doubt have their DNA they left

 

Hello, my name is Kelli and I am a cookbook hoarder

This is what fits on top I have tons more stuck everywhere. When we build I know that the top of my kitchen cabinets will be left open for my cookbook. I need to design a cookbook library.

I know I am not the only cookbook hoarded either so where do you put them all 

This is some of my Pewter pieces and my most recent collection is Pewter Mississippi Mint Julep cups then you have them monogrammed. Oh how I love them. I thought Louisiana was plain and I liked the added detail on the Mississippi ones so those are what I went with. I need more room 

 

There is my dining room and once I finish the farmhouse look with it I will do another post. All ideas are welcome

Home Tour: Kitchen

I love seeing all the home tours and getting to take a peek inside. Sometimes I am surprised at what I see and style and sometimes I am right on with what I have pictured for them. Kind of like voices. So I noticed that I haven't done one and thought I would do one. I know I should of cleaned it before taking these pictures but I wanted to keep it real and this is what it looks like on a daily basis so here is my kitchen folks

Come on in

 

A little history about our house:

Its a old farmhouse that sits on 400 acres of farm land and we fenced half if the farm land in and made a cow pasture. It was built 50 years ago so we had and still need to make updates to it.

 

 



This is a vinyl piece I ordered off Etsy and it is on the back of the top cabinets on the bar



I HATE these white dingy counter tops and black plash. I want to change them out with Granite.

Keeping it real the rest of my knives are in the dishwasher

The Herrington Family Table cookbook is one of my prized possessions. I made it on Tastbook and put family recipes and pictures and it will be something that my kids can look back on.  

Looking at this picture my OCD is kicking in and I need to go clean my oven

on the left of my stove is my electric wine opener and I love it

I keep my pampered chef pizza stone in the oven I never take it out I just put my dishes on top of it



I want to update my sink into this Farm house sink and faucet. 

 

This is where we all gather, we sit on the bar hang out and watch Daddy cook when he is off but in less than a month or so I am going to loose my chef. That means I will have to go back to cooking

That microwave is killing me I want to stop typing and go clean it now.

These wipes I use daily

Excuse the Annie Sloan paint and brush I was just to lazy to move it

The huge wine glass I put corks in and write date and occasion for each year

I am not spindle fan I want to knock these out as well

This opens up to our living/family room

If my Annie Sloan project goes good then I am going to paint and distress these cabinets

This is my favorite thing ever. I love this wall mount spice wrack due to the fact

I don't have to dig through the cabinet when I need something.

Yes I have it alphabetical order blame it on the OCD

Again didn't want to take the time to move the broom its there because I sweep the kitchen so many times because that is the area that gets used the most

 

This is just a cork board and some fun pictures

 

 

My pantry with the barn doors and a funny story on the broke knob my kids use it to stand on and climb to the top so until they quit climbing and can reach the top I'm not changing it.

What I would give for a new fridge but until it breaks  (knock on wood that it doesn't any time soon) I am not going to buy on. I want it to match our other stainless steel appliciances



 

Well there you have it, that's my kitchen. I will be posting more. Monday it will be the dinning room. If you would like to join me you can post a home tour of any room or your dinning room. If you have already done one I enjoyed it and thanks for opening up your home and letting me take a peek.
I loved a few of your ideas and using them in my décor
