Show Us Where You Live Friday - Dining Rooms

This is my first week to join Kelly's Korner for the "Show Us Where You Live FRIDAY." Every week you get to see and share photos of different rooms. This week it is the DINING ROOM.

My dad gave me this chandelier around 16 years ago. He actually bought 4 of them at a yard sale and gave them all to me. Some of them were missing parts so I combined all the parts and had enough to complete two of them. The other one is hanging in my living room. My dad loved going to yard sales and he was always finding things he knew I would like. It was almost like he was doing it for me, since I was usually the recipient of his great finds. My dad passed away on Father's Day 2007 and I have many reminders of him throughout my home as well as in my heart. I MISS him very much.

My wonderful husband bought our dining room suit 28 years ago . He picked it out by himself and this is the china cabinet that came with it. I love fruit and have it displayed on many items throughout my dining room & kitchen.

Rubber plant (one of many clean air plants throughout my home).

We bought this little chair 31 years ago for our future children. It was used for years by the two children God blessed us with. Now I am saving it for my future grandchildren. It sets beside my china cabinet.

Thank you for stopping by and please be sure to go by and visit Kelly's Korner to view other dining rooms. Have a wonderful weekend.

I enjoy the special little accents that make your dining room personal like the light and the hutch. Thanks for sharing!

I love the colors, so lush! I miss those stone floors that you see so often down south. They are so cool and clean - good for allergies.
