Project 9/366: Weekend In Photos (Our Simple Dining Area)

Our house is not very fancy at all, but more like simple with a mix of old and new things.  Like I said, I like old things or Vintage things and I am excited to surround our house with tons of beautiful old things. Right now I cannot have things in the house that  easily breaks because I have two kids, so far now it is a work in progress and I am keeping my eye on more Vintage items to add into our house and hopefully someday I get to paint our wall in a new paint color. I am thinking cream or light yellowy paint, then if I get to do that I would also love to replace our window treatment. That is if I can convince my husband to paint our wall. We will see! For now, this is how our place looks like. Simple and homey! 

My Sunday is spent pretty much cleaning the house and still I am not done. I moved all of my son's toys back into his room, but it needed more space so I took his table out of his room and placed it on the corner of our dining area. The table is a freebie from a friend of mine, it's a vintage kid's table and the chair (which happens to match the table) was a thrift find for about 50cents, if I remembered it right. I actually bought two vintage chairs and the other one was pink and it's perfect for my little girl. There you go! My little man has his own space in our dining area.

That Old Lincoln Log container was my husband's when he was a little kid. It has few pieces of the Lincoln Logs, but sadly the rest of them are gone. The piece on the wall was from my mother-in-law and I love it!

Awe! Look at him. So excited about his new space.

Talking about old/vintage items, the bowl with the vase was from a secondhand store years ago and that table runner was from my mother-in-law. We accumulated a lot of things from my mother-in-law when she moved to the Manor. If only she's still around, I am sure she would appreciate me taking care of her things and putting them to good use.

This dress form I found at the rummage sale here in town for about $10. It's dressed up with a vintage apron (from my mother-in-law again) and vintage hat for $5. The green jewelry box is a vintage of course and so as those two frames behind the dress form. I love old things so much that the next thing you know I would look vintage as well.

The jewelry armoire again was from my MIL. The frame on the wall are pictures of my husband and me along with some of my friends when he visited me to the Philippines and it was our first meeting. 

This house is actually built around and old house so the walls are not even and some areas are just so awkward, but we made it into a home.My husband purchased this property years ago because of its huge yard and it used to be an orchard.  I hope you enjoyed your visual tour of our simple dining area.

Enjoy the rest of the day!
