Now, let's talk about my dining area. It's small. It's basically a table pushed up against the wall because if it wasn't pushed up against the wall we wouldn't be able to open the refrigerator or the dishwasher. And that's important.
I've had a revolving door of tables in here but I think I've finally hit on a winner.
It's this one. I don't know what its made of or how old it is but it's just what I've been looking for. I wanted something somewhat casual and timeworn, and this table had such nice clean lines and the right amount of wear. And it fit the space perfectly. Finally.
Remember back in July when I posted about my love of mixing traditional dining tables with modern chairs?

But I'm not. These are great, and modern, but the heart wants what the heart wants. And my heart wants these.
It's a love match! Even my 15 year-old daughter approves (of the chairs only. She hates the table).
Most nights there's three of us for dinner, so I plan to add a little bench to the open side of the table. More to come on that later.
And in other news... look at the walls. They got primed this weekend!
to prepare for my wallpaper.
which I have yet to reveal. Come back next week and see!!!

Fun chairs! A bench will be great for the long side of the table.
Love the mix of modern and tradtional!
I love the table. I really like the first set of chairs, but understand about what the heart wants. Good for you to finally have a combination that you love. I did not realize how many of us have a 15 yo daughter. How funny. Can't wait to see that wallpaper.
Love the combo and can't wait to see the bench you'll be adding. I am also loving your timing on getting things done, hits close to home... the cobbler's kids sort of thing you know?
The legs of your table remind me of Angelina Jolie's Oscar dress this year...that's a good thing. It's beautiful. And like I said on Instagram, I can't wait to see the Scalamandre paper once it's hung.
LOVE the modern chairs...very fresh...and so excited to see what's next!!!
Love the table and chairs. 15 year olds aren't designers for a reason, right? Wallpaper is exciting!
Love the table. Can't wait to see the wallpaper.
You share my love for modern mixed with traditional!! You are the queen of choosing awesome patterns ~ can't wait to see what's going up!
The table and chairs are a perfect combination! Your daughter sounds just like mine!!! (: Love the progress so far!
You tease! :) Can't wait to see the paper. And I think you are spot on with the table/chair combo. Aces.
This looks like a really fun combination...beautiful table...can't wait for the paper reveal!!
I do love the chairs too Kim! Is the table finish gonna stay the same? I guess it will look differently once your wall paper/paint is up, can't wait until next week!
Yay Scalamandre!!! excited. Love the pantons, love the wood. Great combo.
I have high hopes for this! Looking good already.
The table is perfect and can not wait for the reveal of the wallpaper....I am sure it is something "vintage" right:)
The anticipation is killing me! I cannot wait to see that wallpaper!!
