Decluttered and Deep Cleaned Dining Room

The dining room is our entry.  It has been in a constant state of upheaval for the past few months.  It was time to make some changes.

This weekend we all got our hands dirty and cleaned and got rid of quite a bit of stuff in the dining room.  

The glasses on the table were extras that were "stuffed" in my hutch.  They are finding new homes.

We even polished the chairs around the table.  

For the past 3 months I have had IV supplies on this table... they now live in a basket in our extra bathroom.  I can still do my IV's here but the supplies go back upstairs when I am done. 

Mr. Rooster got a good polish.  

Sorry this pic turned out blurry.  

Kiddo and I took out all the dishes and dusted the shelves and then put everything back.... orderly.

Everything in my dining room just shines.  I love it!!

By my front door sits this shelf.  Kiddo polished it and put everything back.  

The hardwood floor got dusted and polished.  Even the tile entry got scrubbed.  

We will move to the kitchen to declutter and deep clean this week and next.  Feels so good to know the dining room has no excess... only the things we need and love.

After the kitchen clean up,  we will need to call our local charity to do a pick up.  The donate pile is growing quite quickly.  

Freshen Up the Dining Room

It was long over due time to freshen up the dining room for springs/summer.  Yes, I am a touch behind.

With our traveling, doctors appointments and starting garden sprouts the dining room table was a mess. Total mess!!

Now it is all cleaned off..

Please excuse all the white buckets in the background.  We are working on a project and the dining room is their temporary home.  I will tolerate their presence for a few more days.

My mother in law gave me this princess cut dish last weekend. It is a perfect fit for all of my medicines.  I have to have them out or I forget to take them.

My mother in law found this princess cut tray for me as well.

The bowl is Wexford.  It is one a new pieces for my HUGE Wexford collection. 

I tweaked this space (above my hutch) a while back.  I still like how it looks so..... nothing changed here.  I need to find a frame for that picture.  Hmm....

Spring in My Dining Room

Today, I was itching to start decorating for spring.... the weather was inspiring me.

I used the runner that I bought last week at the antique store and my heirloom tea set.

I don't get my tea set out very much... except for at spring time.

My mom sent me this beautiful tray!!

Here are a few of the details...

Here is my new dining room centerpiece

For now I am displaying my Wexford decanter and goblets.

I will probably change up the tray closer to Easter.

Dining Room Table for Christmas

My mom gave me her unused battenburg lace tablecloth.  I thought it would look nice for Christmas.

The  floral centerpieces was something my mom bought quite a few years ago for her office for the holidays.  She gifted the silk floral to me. 

I just love my new "dream" tray.  I will be able to use it around the house through out the year.

I found these red sparkly snowflakes at Target (Dollar section). 

This pinecone is one of those battery-operated candles.  It makes for a fun nightlight!
