Our Dining Area

We use our kitchen dining area everyday! We do not currently utilize our "formal" dining space. Our dining area is a pale yellow with accents of red, black and white! I love the combination and enjoy having a yellow kitchen especially when the sun shines through in the mornings! The space is cheerful and bright! I am considering changing the curtains to something with a black background, accented with a red floral pattern. I just want something a bit more dramatic. Our table has a butterfly leaf in it so we can comfortably seat up to six adults. I love that the leaf stores right inside the table top! So convenient! I bought the fleur de lis at Hobby Lobby for $10 each! The plates I bought at Michael's on clearance for $2 and just put ribbon on them to hang. I covered the chandelier chain with leopard fabric. I put up the chair rail and stenciled the pattern below. *Pardon the booster seat!! HA! My boy has to eat, right?

Our chandelier shades are red beaded shades that my mother-in-law purchased for us when we moved in our house.
Hope you enjoyed our dining area!
