There are a few changes to this area since I shared it last time.
The biggest change being that I painted the table base Annie Sloane Old White, and I also asked my sweet friend to recover our chairs. It's actually extra fabric that I had stored away!
I also added a bit of this fabric to the center of the table, layered on top of a *burlap-y* looking fabric. I then placed a grapevine pumpkin on a cream cake stand and covered all of that with a large glass cloche.
I also added "EAT" above the window ... I painted the letters Old White, followed by Chateaux Grey (to tie in with the neighboring dry bar, which is done in the same colors).
A view of the breakfast area from the great room ... you'll spy our Family Fall tree, which has become a tradition in our home every Fall now. For the last two years, it has been in our sitting room, but, this year, I decided to place it by our breakfast table so that it would feel more "present" during the Fall. I loved sitting at the table, and staring at all of the pics ... lots of memories always come flooding back, and I love that:
Crazy tree topper:
I fill this tree with special family pictures ... moments which we are so thankful for ... like the first moment I held my son:
Special sayings:
And, fun times with friends (like the day last year that my husband and I renewed our vows for our 15th wedding anniversary, surrounded by great friends, on the beaches of Punta Cana):
The family tree has since been moved to another room, and I look forward to sharing that, along with the rest of our house, which is now all dressed up for Christmas!
In the meantime, come on over and party at these wonderful blogs:
Thanks for stopping by,
