Happy New Year! Happy New Dining Room Furniture!

I’m way behind again on updating you all about the happenings of our new house.  We moved in the first weekend in December and we’re gradually getting everything organized and in place.  More pictures to come on each room later!

I did manage to get a few Christmas decorations out in the short time I had before December 25.  I decided to do my tree in purple this year, for something fun and different!

And of course I had to put my Mizzou snowmen out.

Then, New Year’s weekend we bought some dining room furniture so I had to take my tree down in a hurry (I set it up in the dining room so it wasn’t empty).

Ta da!  It’s an antique Duncan Phyfe style set.  We bought the table, 6 chairs, china cabinet and buffet from a super nice couple in Alabama.  The chairs have just recently been recovered and I actually like the fabric that’s on them!  I may try to incorporate some more dragonflies into my decor in this room.

Now it’s time for a list!

To Do:

-Curtains

-Area rug

-Mirror over buffet

-Dragonfly art
