House Tour: Dining Room
 |
| Probably the best picture of my roses when they were in full force! |
I tried to show the room from two different times of day so that you could see how the wall color changes. I really love the color of this room. In my opinion it's the perfect and most absolute gray and was exactly what I was looking for.
Here's a breakdown on the details:
Wall color - BM Gray Owl
Table - World Market's Mahogany Verona Dining Table
Nail head upholstered chairs - Overstock
Black ballroom chairs - 4 total in the room, Overstock
Upholstered Bench - Ballard Designs
Drapes - Target
Lantern - Overstock
Sideboard - Craigslist find for $70!!
Brass Lamp - Thrift store find for $8!!
Picture above sideboard - Marshalls
Silhouette Picture(s) - Antiques passed down. One is of John Marshall (shown) and the other is John Quincey Adams.

Target lovin'
I am a large Target lover. This relationship started when I was in college and has grown substantially ever since then. I mean, this is literally the story of my life...
So in preparation for the 4th of July, naturally I had to go pick up some stuff I actually did need..kinda ;) Here's what I got.
1. Twizzlers - because I saw this pretty way to serve them
2. 2 packages of Flags - 3 flags per package found in their dollar section. I don't even know if thats a good deal or not. I pretty much believe that anything for a dollar must be a great deal, lol.
1. Twizzlers - because I saw this pretty way to serve them
3. 8 White Melamine Salad & Dinner Plates - They are Target's RE or Room Essentials brand. I didn't want to use my heavy plates outside and honestly wanted something prettier than paper plates. I tried to find them online but couldn't. These are pretty close.
4. 1
package of 6 Celebration Crackers - Originally I wanted to buy sparklers
because we aren't actually going to go see the fireworks this year (I don't
want to be that family that brings their infant!) But then I was reading online
that any type of fireworks, including those pop rocks you throw on the ground
and sparklers are very much illegal in New Jersey. And if you are caught with
them it's like a $500 fee and jail time. Soooo not doing that. Then I found
these in the seasonal section of the store. They were actually at the end of
the isle display towards the back of the store..not sure if they were kind of
hidden on purpose or not because apparently these are somewhat like an
explosive?? I'm not sure...but I figured if Target was selling them legally in
NJ, then certainly I could purchase them legally. I just needed to show the
cashier my license...weird? I thought so too. Sorry - couldn't find anything
similar online - check your local store!
5. Outdoor string lights - this probably doesn't
fall under the need category, but they are pretty :) Again, by
Target's RE brand. See them online here, but you have to buy in store.
6. 2 glass jars - again, because I saw them used here.
Is there nothing we can't learn from pinterest! Seriously. Anyway...$8
for one..pretty sure that's another good deal. I'm sure you can also find them
at Home Goods or Marshalls, but I'm thinking the price will be fairly
similar.
