A Few Tiny Changes in the Dining Room

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Not a whole lot has changed in this room since I last posted images of it but some people asked about the the Paige chairs (the oval backed ones that were in here before) being moved into the family room (you can see them on either side of the TV in the last post) and wondered what was in the dining room in their place. We basically just swapped these script chairs with them. The problem is that I like the Paige chairs better in both spots and don't really love these scripted ones in either but this is where they are staying at least for a few weeks =). They looked a little too busy in the family room now that we have the patterned rug in there. The painted piece under the TV has a pattern painted on the doors too so all of them mixed together was a little too much.

We moved the "May the Road..." sign in here as well for now although it's not going to be here permanently. Once I find a hutch for this spot the rolling cart will head up to the guest room/office and the sign probably will too. For now though it keeps this wall from being empty.

This time of year I think the room feels a little dull without all the added color that the spring and early summer flowers added in here. Although I do love cutting branches from our butterfly bushes this time of year they don't add as much color to this particular room as they do some of the others. With fall and winter coming though I think it will be fun to add some more color in here to brighten it back up a bit.
