For Kennedy, not me.

is much smaller so we really only eat in here if we’re having a special holiday meal, or we just use the table for drawing or working at.I know a lot of people are doing away with their dining rooms these days specifically because they don’t use them all that often, but I really like having a room that we can use for just the 4 of us on special occasions.

Plus, that 150 year old dining room furniture that was passed down to me isn’t going anywhere!.the little dollar store bunnies.that I painted last year.

You can reuse a lot of the same basic pieces for almost all holidays and just add one or two new things to get a whole different look.I needed that.. Here’s how it looked before:.

Don’t you love how much junk fell out of the drawers in just the one year we’ve been here?We don’t even use this dresser that much, in fact it’s going to be going upstairs into the room we’ve just started working on..

It was given to us by a friend who was moving a couple of years ago and we were just holding on to it until we got around to fixing it up..Living in this house that’s mostly kind of trashed, hasn’t been renovated for about 30-40 years in a lot of the rooms, with all these dark finishes that never seem to be really clean kind of gets to me sometimes.
