I finally have a DINING room in the Cape house. We always ate at the back of the living room in the dining nook. I love that little space, but never enough room to seat more that four, comfortably. We decided to move our bedroom upstairs to the large bedroom my daughter used to use for her bedroom and made the downstairs bedroom into a dining room.
This is the result. I might paint in the future, but too busy now with the holidays...

Love your new dining room, Robin! And I think the color on the walls right now is so warm and inviting. I bet you'll have some great dinners in there!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic idea. I didn't realize you didn't have a dining "room" in this house. You definitely need one with all the entertaining you do with your tennis friends. I hope it brings you lots of enjoyment, especially this season. I love all the hoilday decor and that hutch in there is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful. It looks perfect. Love your decor and the color is super. Isn't it fun to find extra space in your home. Fantastic. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHow clever! Is it an easy transfer of food and dishes from your kitchen? Have a great week!

Robin,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job. It is so exciting to change around rooms and their functions like that. Looks great!
How pretty! Great use of space. I am liking the green a lot right now, and have been considering a green color in our guest room.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so pretty to look at too!
It looks great. I love the green walls with the white. My bedroom used to be green and sometimes I miss it.
ReplyDeleteI know you will be glad to have a dining room for Christmas! Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like everything about your new room - the wall colour is so warm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Every family NEEDS a Dining Room!

Very nice...you have great ideas! Love the beautiful green wall color, too! ♥
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely and definitely a good use for the space.
ReplyDeleteHi there Robin. I just love your houses. We seem to use a lot of the same colors in our decor, so I'm drawn to your home more each time I look at it. I am seriously crazy about your lime colored cabinets in your header picture. Oh, and I'm digging that green on the walls in the other room. What color is that?
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so inviting. I'm sure anyone who comes there feels right at home.
I hope you have a lovely holiday season.
This was a great idea, Robin! The room turned out beautifully! Looks like a lovely place to share a meal!
ReplyDeleteGenius idea Robin! You make due with what you have, and it totally works and looks fantastic too!

Your home is so so charming, Robin.
ReplyDeleteI know how much you are enjoying this delightful room..we didn't have a REAL dining room either..just a small breakfast room. We never used our garage, which was right by the kitchen, so Mr. Sweet and I converted it into a dining room. We so needed it with our large family and large fellowship group.
Your room is beautiful..I like the green paint.
Oh Robin, Your new Dining Room is so inviting
ReplyDeletegreat idea to move your bedroom. stinkin' adore it!!!!! right now the color is soooo Christmas.
