Adding Green To The Dining Room

Hello, sweet friends! Sorry for not posting in awhile, summer calls…;) Today, I would like to share my dining room. I had a lot of yellow in this room and decided to swap out the yellow for more green accents.
I added a plate, book box, rustic pot and garden ball, and a candle holder with greenery on top.
I love pots that are rustic in appearance.
I grouped this little set together and draped some green grapes from the pitcher.
I really like adding wreaths to my arched gates or iron embellishments.
I always add garden balls to the mix.
Here is our hutch with more green accents.
I added some burlap looking lamps to the top of my hutch. The ceiling is tall, so I like the way the light bounces off the ceiling.
I love my arched wood and metal gate. You may recall this gate in my old kitchen window, although I had two of them side by side.
 
 No room would be complete without a rooster, ha!
Do any of your remember this table? It used to be white. I spray painted the chairs and table legs to black to match the hutch.
I just love black furniture, because when you accessorize with any color, it pops! I can’t wait for fall, I am ready for fall colors. 😉
Green is my favorite color.
I like to layer items, and I don’t always like things to be matchy-matchy. So, I added placemats and an animal print table runner.
Green  jugs and grapes.
The animal print table runner goes with my black furniture.
On one of the hutch shelves, I added this little canvas picture that says Parsley and placed a faux plant beside it.
The dining room is so hard to take a picture of because there are so many windows, which makes the room look washed out, so I apologize.
Even at night, the lighting isn’t right, unless it is DARK. 😉
I added a few black accents, too!
I did leave some yellow pieces in the room.
Isn’t it fun to change things and accessorize with different colors or pieces? I think so! 😉
I hope all of you are enjoying the wonderful summer days! 🙂
I’ll be back later this week to share my other dining area and kitchen Baker’s rack. I added more yellow.
Thanks for stopping by! XOXO, ~Liz

Tuscan Style – Entertainment Unit

Hi there! Today, I would like to share our Tuscan Style inspired Entertainment unit in the family room.
I am constantly changing up the family room. I need to find a pretty area rug to add warmth and color, and I also need to add a few other things before I am happy with it.
A flat screen used to sit in the space below, but I moved it.  I much prefer the ambiance of amber colored lighting to a shiny flat screen tv. Are any of you the same way?
I really like adding metal and wood to my tuscan vignettes. 
Pottery with greenery adds a softness to the space.
I like to find pots that are different, but alike in color and similar styles.
I adore topiaries and garden balls, I add them everywhere throughout the house. 🙂
I love the colors brown, green, rust, black, and beige together. 
Love these canisters from Hobby Lobby.
The metal and wood piece I found at Hobby Lobby.
I use these candle pillars year round and change out the candles from time to time. 
Greenery is great to use as space fillers.
 In the entertainment unit, I have used a few book boxes to add height.
Here I have used book boxes again! 😉
The center (top) part of the unit sits a pot with a garden ball, and two greenery sticks on either side.
So, there you have it….
The family room decorated Tuscan Style! Have a great day, everyone! I’m off to paint my pantry door with chalk paint….oh boy!! 
xoxo, Liz
