Tuscan Dining Room

~Welcome to our Tuscan style Dining Room~
Are you ready for a pop of color? Join me and I’ll show you our cozy, casual dining room, and my new funky spring plates filled with faux fruit.
I’m all about the cozy and comfortable factor. I love elegant dining rooms, and one day I’ll have one, but with four kids, casual and cozy is my style.
I love black furniture with dark wood undertones. You may recognize this table from last year, it used to be W H I T E!  Guess who spray painted it? Me!  It now goes with my old black hutch. 
We eat in the dining room, maybe once a month, so when it’s not being used, I stage it to look pretty. I placed some plates on the table and filled them with faux fruit for spring. 
Last week, there were just placemats on 
the table, now there are plates.
I found the plates, bowls, and faux fruit at the Dollar Tree. Cheap, cheap, cheap!

I added some white flowers to my Tuscan arrangement for Spring.

The boxwood wreath used as my centerpiece I found at Safeway of all places.
Grouping items is the name of the game in Tuscan design. 
I got a glass candle holder and filled it with little garden balls.  I really like the pop of color, and hello, it’s green, my 
favorite color! 🙂
I love the big tall ceilings and the trim really sets the dining room apart from the living room.
I go a little crazy with yellow when spring rolls around. All I have on the brain is the sun, and thinking ahead to bright and cheery days, weather wise!  
I like rustic pots that look or appear aged….those are my favorite. 🙂
I love using artichokes in my decor along with grapes, very Tuscanesque!

 Aren’t these plates bright and cheery? Only a $1.00 each.

 Yellows, reds, golds, browns, greens, black, and beige…..is the name of the game in this dining room!

I will be adding some long curtain panels soon! 

 As I mentioned before, I use faux LED wax candles on timers, so they go on at 5pm and go off at 9pm every night.

 You may recall this arched gate, I used it to frame my kitchen window at the other house along with an identical one. I will be adding a big spring wreath later this week.

 I got this new rug when we moved and I love it with the black furniture.

 I use topiaries just about everywhere throughout the house, love them!

This chandelier will be getting some spring greenery draped from it later this week. 🙂

I also like to add little wall shelves around the house, you can switch different decor items on and off it for the seasons.

In one of my tables, I displayed some wine and books in a basket.

 Down below, I displayed some cookbooks, a faux plant and moss ball in a silver pot.

Cozy, comfortable, and Tuscan Style….

Thanks for visiting! XOXO, Liz
