Progress.
So, I’ve been making some changes around my apartment and thought is might be nice for an update since I am now okay with showing photos of the place. There are still things here and there I plan to improve on. But that’s kind of the fun of having your own place! Today, I’ll share the new dining area. I bought a cute little Oval shaped vintage dining table that had been painted black, off craiglist. And also found 6 black ikea dining chairs, that I think work great with it!



One without flash, because I love the warmth of no flash photos.
The cabinet in the back has all of my sewing gear stored. Kind of a random spot maybe. But I have nowhere else and part of the reason I bought the table was for sewing/craft reasons.
My desk area, pictured in this post, was not cutting it. And that chair is cute, but it’s on it’s way out at the moment. It’s not comfortable, at all!
I still want to find a rug for underneath the dining table. I think it looks to bare without something there. I just want something simple. Ideally a jute or sisal, because I’ve always wanted one, and I think a dining area would be a great spot for one. Wish me luck on my hunt. So far, it’s not going well.














Yeah… I finally gave up on my rug hunt. I searched for months and came up with nothing!
Now, thanks to you, I want a BLACK table in a bad way. I might get a new one, or just paint mine and antique it to match the new coffee table.
Also… check out this post… I SO want a Romeo & Juliet inspired living room!!!

Let’s go rug shopping!
and you should totally paint that table you have. It’s such a classic style. And it would look great black!
Funny thing… This is a pic of my dream rug for my dining area. Pictured with a very similar style dining chair set to yours, in black.

and I would LOVE to live inside of that movie. <3
That table set is sick!! Now I am definitely painting my set black with a glossy finish.
I love that you can see your tree in the mirror.
