Hello friends, and thanks for stopping by! Welcome to part 2 of my fall home tour, the dining room edition! If you missed part 1 of the Fall home tour, you can catch that here.
I love those striped curtains! They’re actually 98″ khaki Ikea drapes that came as a pair for $24! I painted the stripes with leftover white paint, mixed with some medium. Because the paint bled through to the back, I picked up two white twin flat sheets at Goodwill and used my ever-trusty go-to sewing hack…stitch-witchery…to attach them as a curtain lining. They add so much fullness!
The 3 ironstone plates mounted on the wall were found at one of my fave thrift stores for 25 cents each!
Next, we come to our $120 Goodwill-purchased dining room set!! The table and chairs were hideous before a little tlc was applied. That’s a whole blog post on its own, so I promise I’ll follow through with that soon! (Here’s that follow-up I promised!)
Located on the table are more thrift store and antique store purchases. In fact, there are only a few items on our table that were bought new….the little birdies and faux-wood pillar candles (from Pottery Barn Outlet for pennies on the dollar) and the little yellow container from Target (on clearance)! Everything else…the brass candlesticks, the candles, the lace doily, the burlap runner, pinecones and antlers were all from second-hand stores or my backyard.
On my china hutch are some of my favorite little collections….milk glass from yard sales and thrift stores, framed silhouettes, vintage silver, old pitchers, and my anthropologie latte bowls on an antique scale.
To give the back of my china hutch a little color, I used glue dots to mount some cute wrapping paper with vintage stamping on it (from Homegoods) to the wall of the hutch. So fun and super-easy!
These gold-rimmed plates were 25 cents each at one of my favorite thrift stores! And the beautiful old wooden box is from my sweet mother-in-law. I love it!
The vintage silver is from my gracious momma. I love putting old flatware on display.
I love the sprayed tea set, I have one that was my great aunts, it is I terrible shape but I didn’t want to part with it. I may just paint it!!
Thanks, “Miss” Donna! Yes, the spray paint went on so easily! 🙂
So you painted the tea set….looks fabulous! And the vintage starch box is truly vintage. Comes from my mother-in-law. She would be thrilled that you have repurposed it. Looking forward to part 3:)
I didn’t know it was your mother-in-law’s! Super cool! I love it how it’s staying in the fam! <3
Love what you’re doing with your home, Katie! Hate to alarm you but you’ve started decorating like a mid-westerner! Love it! You’d like the antique shops and thrift stores in Ohio and PA.
Thank you! I love it!!

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!
Hi! I know this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work? I’m completely new to running a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would really benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Bless you!
Howdy! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the outstanding work!
Sweet blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you

Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Great blog and terrific style and design.
Good post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Thank you!
We stumbled over here different web address and thought I may as well check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to exploring your web page again.
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your blog. It seems like some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Thanks

I really enjoy the article.Much thanks again. Really Great.
Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
Hey there! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
