Come See My Breakfast Room

Welcome to my breakfast room.  It is a little dark in here because this

room opens up to the covered porch in the back of the house, so please

excuse the dark photos.  

For whatever reason, when I take the photo from this angle the room looks 

brighter.  

It is set up pretty much how I want it, but there still is more tweaking to do.

The walls are a bit dark for my taste, so I will be painting them a lighter shade

and will be painting the wainscoting white.

I have incorporated favorite prints of my own and some of my

Mom's on a gallery wall.

The weather cooled down yesterday and today is the first day it has

felt like October.   I finally got in the mood to do a little fall decorating.

This breakfast room opens up to the kitchen and it's where we eat

most of our meals.   Now that it has cooled off, I am hoping to 

serve dinner outside on the patio.  Up until now it's just been 

way too hot for that.

I put up a valance over the kitchen sink this weekend and then 

decided I didn't like it.  I am still working on a solution for 

that space.  I want to add a bit of fabric without covering up 

the big window which I love.  I have started saving window

treatment ideas on a pinterest board.  You can see what I

have been saving here.

So painting this space is on the list for sure as is adding beams 

on the ceiling.  Just need to find a good carpenter.

The Viking will be replacing the current counter top stove.  And I can

hardly wait to replace the stainless sink with my fluted farmhouse one.

Little by little it is coming along.  Of course now that the weather is

so beautiful I really want to spend time working in the yard.

Bentley has been in and out all morning and is starting to wonder

why I am not out there with him.
