Dinning Rooms, Mood Board, And Giving Thanks

Delightful dinning rooms that make me happy:

The Cottage Co. via Carriage House Antiques

White china and teacups against turquoise?  Sold.  I love the uncluttered look.

Molly Frey Design

Peaceful and bright is for me.

Morgan Harrison Home

I love me a painted floor.

Bear-Hill Interiors

Would you be gutsy enough to use this chandelier?

Better Homes and Gardens Online via Milk and Honey Home

If I was building a house I really like the idea of an eat-in dinning room.  A farmhouse table plus slipcovered chairs equals a happy Abby.

Chairs make all the difference; don't you want to spend a long time chatting at this table?

The hutch is a bit much for me, but those chairs and light fixture get me every time.  I love this room.

Yes, this is not a dining room, but I couldn't get away from the fabric on the windows and the monogrammed chairs.  

Now let's change gears.  

After my Miami Mama agreed with the fabrics I chose yesterday, I moved forward with a mood board. 

Here is a start at where we are going:

Finally, I just want to say thank you one more time for all of the comments and e-mails I received from this post!  You all confirmed my agreement with this quote from A Gift Wrapped Life:

To some, blogging can be a huge waste of time, a sign our world is becoming one continuous loop of social media, one more way of distancing ourselves. I beg to differ, I have never felt more connected to a continuous thread of women who speak my language, who inspire me, who hear me and for that reason I smile to myself a lot these days.
