I've taken my sweet time getting more pictures taken of the house. Here are some pictures of the dining room. I still need to make some drapes for the windows - I haven't been able to find anything that I like just to buy.

I filled the vase with lemons, because they were cheap and (I thought) looked nice. Josh likes to say that I'm fighting a battle against scurvy.







This dining room is SO much bigger than the one in our last house. The table didn't have any leaves it in the last house. I have two leaves in it here, and could honestly fit the third leaf if I wanted.







I may eventually try to either refinish or replace the chandelier. But the brass doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. And brass is coming back in style anyway, so I may just leave it.







The girls recently discovered that the door to the kitchen is a swinging door. We're trying to keep them from playing with it- just a matter of time before pinched fingers or a hit in the face if they play with it.







The framed botanicals were hanging over the couch in the last house. I like them in the dining room here.







I like the little arrangement at the top of the china cabinet. In the glass jar is a collection of wine corks that I've been saving for over a decade. To the side of the china cabinet are the chairs I got from craigslist and recovered.







We've already gotten a lot of use out of our new dining room! We love entertaining, so it's nice to have the space for it.
