House Update: Dining Room

Next up we have our dining room.  If you have been to our house, I'm sure we have told you that we do not have a dining room.  Instead, we have converted the bedroom just off the kitchen and living room into one.  Since we have 4 bedrooms, this works pretty well (for now). If we are still in this house WAAAAAY down the road, it may be another story. 

Overall view of the room.  The projects we have done so far include hanging curtains and replacing the light fixture.  We have a few things that will be changing soon.  We are going to fix up the table and paint it to match the hutch, recover the chairs, get a hook so we can hang the light fixture properly, hopefully find a rug that is actually big enough, and paint the "bar" to match the table and hutch.  Lots of "little" projects.

This is the hutch that we found at the occasional store near our old place.  It was a great find and we are so happy to have it.  It is wonderful to be able to display our nicer dishes and other glassware.

See, it is a bedroom.  Our dining room has a closet!  Right now it stores jackets, shoes, and some extra "china" type things.

Our "bar."  We are trying to collect crystal decanters so we can eventually switch over to having everything in them.  Fancy.

This is one room you will be getting an update on soon (I hope!).
