Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Our Dining Room Update – Simply My Favorite

February 18, 2019 Uncategorized

This collaboration was done in partnership with Overstock.com .

Dining Room Update - Simply My Favorite

Alright friends, this is a room that I have been counting down till I could share with you! And today is the day! We recently made some updates to this dining room and I couldn’t be more excited!

The goal was to keep the space simple and fresh, and most importantly a spot we could gather as a family and enjoy our meals with each other.

Dining Room Update - Simply My Favorite

For that reason specifically, I chose this Handmade Turned Pedestal Mango Wood Table. I just love it so much as I have been dreaming of a round table for a long time. Growing up, one of my best friend’s, (Amanda) family had a round dining table… I use to think it was the best how we could gather around and all see one another easily. Isn’t that funny how those things make impressions on us at early ages and guide our decisions in our homes as we get older?!

It is a large table (60 inches to be exact) and can fit 6 people around it easily.

Here is a closer look at the pedestal base… And the color is a smoky mango which is stunning!

Then in keeping in line with the Mid-Century style of how our home was truly built back in the 60’s, I chose to add these ivory Mod Made Mid Century Modern “W” Wood Dining Side Chairs with Hemp Seats. I had a couple similar ones that were black before and they really are comfortable!

They still have that light bright vibe, being that they are ivory, so they are just the right fit for my neutral loving heart…

Because I wanted to keep this space simple and let the dining set be the focal point of the room I also chose this Maine Collection Chandelier in Black Finish. The black brings a nice pop to the lighter colors and flows with the black accents in our kitchen…

To say we are enjoying it all put together is an understatement!

Flowers are the only real “accessory” I put in here and they are all that was needed. Flowers are such special way to make any spot more enchanting…

Like I said at the beginning, the intent of changing the dining room up was to create a space centered around gathering. A more simplified approach to decorating… We were able to freshen up the space with a minimalistic point of view, allowing our loved ones to be the center of design.

And quite simply, it is my favorite, I treasure family dinners and this means a lot to us all here. I hope you enjoyed seeing our changes and maybe found some inspiration for some of your homes as well!

A big thank you to our sponsor, Overstock.com for this post! They are also having a Presidents’ Day that you don’t want to miss…!

    Hi! I love your new table and chandelier, they look great! The chairs are pretty too, just not my style. That chandelier is perfect for over your table. Perfect size, balance etc… I see too many people putting lights that are so out of proportion over their tables! I guess Mango is the new sustainable wood now because I see it popping up in all kinds of furniture. I personally love it and if it helps save a few of our native born trees, I’m all for it! Have a great week!

    I bought a round table for the same reasons. It makes for better conversation and togetherness. I love it!
    Your dining room is simple and fresh looking. Family is all about good food and animated conversation.

    I love that table so much! One of the biggest décor regrets I have is giving our round table away years ago and replacing it with a rectangular one. I didn’t like the color of the wood but painting it wasn’t even a consideration. I could have saved so much money and space! What was I thinking????

      Cindy I am so happy to hear you like it too, thank you very much! I have done that many times with pieces as well and totally understand! We did love our rectangular one for so long (the last ten + years), but it sure is fun to make a change every once in a while. Thank you for coming and visiting, have a wonderful week ahead!

    Hi!!! Love this look!! I have 3 boys 5 and under,…wondering how hard the seat of those chairs are to clean!!? Do crumbs ect get stuck in them easily!? Ha real life questions!

      Christy thank you! And that is a great question… I have had these seats in the past too and they usually have done pretty well for clean up, but in truth we never had any major accidents on them, by some miracle… lol. But I do plan to have a couple seat cushions to throw on for the ones that the kids use. I find that this stands as a buffer for any big spills and are easy to throw on and off as needed. I was even eyeing some that looked like faux fur that may bring an eclectic vibe to the area… Hope that helps!

I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
