Dining Room

Yesterday was supposed to be a day to work on the nursery.....BUT, we sort of got sidetracked :) We finally had our house all organized and decorated but our dining room was just not appealing to either one of us. We had a huge desk with our computer on it and a teeny tiny space for our dining room table to go. Yesterday we thought about what it would be like after we had kids and we decided we needed more space in our dining room....thus starting the reorganization!

Then.....we remembered that our fish tank and stand was still in storage (all of our fish died after our move last January!) and would make our dining room look more like a dining room instead of an office/dog space/dining room. We went from this:
To this:
Even if you can't tell, there is WAY more space to breathe and it opens up our entire house! We might actually start using our table to eat at now :) And, Aaron is pretty excited to have fish again :) AND.....because we had just organized our basement, we had room for the desk down there....ah, organization! Love it!! Now I'm off to fight this ridiculous cough! I'm taking it easy today and trying to get better! Happy Sunday!

I love your wall hangings! Are they shutters?! Definitely cute!

Yep! Shutters that someone in the family was getting rid of so we snatched them up and spray painted them!

What a cool idea! Wish I was that creative! :) I may have to take some tips from you and Monica!
