TINY DiNiNG SPACE

Hello Everyone! I sure do hope

that you all had a wonderful

Thanksgiving!!

 

Thanksgiving  threw me behind on trying

to get our home back in order.

My house was

in shambles. It still is! The view is from my

front hall.

Here is my dining room table and chairs in my

breakfast area. I am surprised that it looks this

good. It is really big, perhaps too big for the

space. But I do love the look of using a

tablecloth in here. If the cramping

here gets to where I cannot stand it any longer,

then I will just have to swap with

my daughter Jan for a smaller table. The

only good thing about using a smaller table

in this space is there is not a cramped feeling.

The upsize of using a larger table is you

can seat more guest. Now 6 people can

dine with me. You know, I got tired of having

a room just sitting there empty all year only to be

used twice a year. Time to get

rid of the purple vase of flowers that

stayed on this table when it was in

the green room.

When my rooms get finished moving

around then I hope to take the

table cloth off and display the glass

table top like I have always done

with this set.

 

When I grew up we never

had any formal rooms. All of the rooms were

used and they had their functions. My

Mother had a large table in the dining space

right there in the kitchen. Of course

we had a lazy Susan on that table.

Back then, we did not  have any of the amenities

that we have today. There were not any

computers or un-necessary toys to add clutter.

Nothing was laying around. Her bedrooms

held the bed, night stand and only one dresser

that was shared by 2 children in each room.

My parents raised 7 children in her small

home. My Mother cleaned so much that

she cleaned the color right off of the tile.

Hehehe

My Mother did not sew or craft, so her home

was easy to clean and to keep clean. She was

an island girl and we lived by the beach.

Ahhhh memories!

 

Anyway someday I hope to be able to reduce the

clutter in my home. However majority of it is

in my sewing/craft room. In a few weeks I will

show you that room.

 

Okay back to the breakfast room.

Next year I hope

to re-paint the walls along with my cabinets

to a creamy white.  We need to lay down new

flooring, to a neutral color. Only cosmetics

need to be done in here. Nothing major.

By moving furniture around or getting rid of outdated

things - it kind of feels like you are getting something new!

I hope you like my tiny space!
