Apple Blossoms in the Dining Room and Some New Architectural Prints


I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! We don't have a ton new to share tonight (although we are working on some upcoming posts including a week from today when we will share the girls' finished bathroom makeover!) but did want to share a few updates we have added to our dining room. I ended up moving the lamps I had in here into my office and added this new architectural print from Minted on one side and a large planter filled with blossoms over to the other side. I got two of these prints from Minted and I absolutely love them. I have always loved architectural styled prints and these ones are particularly pretty. I put this one of Westminster Abbey here in our dining room and the other one of Big Ben in our kitchen (there's a couple pictures of it near the end of the post). I love the matte brass frame and want to order a few more prints for a living room with this same style frame. It's simple yet elegant!




I've been thinking about adding a bench in here but haven't decided for sure yet. I tried this one in here to see how it looked visually (it's too deep to actually function in here) and I also tried our new ottoman from our porch in here too.















And here you can see the Big Ben print in our kitchen.

A Chandelier for Our Dining Room



Although our dining room isn't finished yet, it's coming together. I haven't decided for sure on a wallpaper yet but I've got it narrowed down to two...or so I think. Ha! However, we have found a chandelier and I absolutely positively LOVE it! I was worried I wasn't going to be able to find one I loved as much as the one we used in our last dining room. In fact, I pondered just getting that same one but then I found this one from our sponsor, Candelabra Inc. and I love it every bit as much! Maybe even more!  I love the way it has both a rustic, yet still elegant feel to it. I've actually pondered getting a second one for another spot in our house because I love it so much. 


We also added two more of the round back chairs so we could have a full set for the table and moved the chairs from the kitchen into here at the ends of the table because the window seat where they were is going to be built this week (yay!) so we don't need them in there anymore.





It's hard to photograph the chandelier from this angle but I love the way it looks against the windows. 












Here's a view of the dining room from the kitchen:

And here it is from the living room:

These chairs aren't going to stay in here. They are either going out on our porch or up in our bonus room but until I find some comfy wingback chairs for here they will stay in here to add some seating.






You can see the other side of our living room here in this post.

And then here are some wider shots of the dining room:
