Dining Room Buffet and a new Tablerunner

Earlier in the week, I talked about some ideas on styling the top of my China Cabinet here in the Dining Room. So I thought today I would just continue with more pics of my teensy Dining Room/Area. I'm grateful for a Dining Space, but it's on the smallish side, with only 3 walls, and I have largish furniture.

Share Your Style #24

Hi Friends, welcome to 

Share Your Style!

We're so glad you're here,

this is the place to bring all your projects and inspiration this week.

Let's see what happened last week...

I really admire someone that can take an idea and interpret it in their own style. Deb from Lake Girl Paints has done just that with her wonderful artwork of this amazing Heron. She saw a similar version in a popular catalogue, then decided to create her own beautiful one-of-a-kind painting. You'll want to see her step-by-step tutorial on her method.

Ideas on Styling a Cabinet or Cupboard Top

I started a little "project"on top of my Dining Room China Cabinet right after we moved into this house last November. We have really high ceilings here, and I love them, but sometimes the furniture looks lost. Believe me, these pieces are huge (this one is about 7 1/2 feet tall) but there is still a big distance between the ceiling and the top of this cabinet. So now 3/4 of a year later, I finally have some kind of decor up there to help fill in this space.

Summer Mantel with Sunflowers

This time of year I'm captivated by Sunflowers.

They are the symbol for late Summer, relaxation, casual dinners al Fresco, 

and all things French Country...

and I love to have them taking the stage on the mantel.
