Hello from Ontario. I found your blog from LifeInTheFunLane and PaintingTheRosesWhite and became a follower. I love all the white in your dining room. I noticed you are in Canada, too, Home Sense comment. Too bad about the breakage.

Hi Rebecca!
So glad I saw this! I have a very dark wood dining table, and want to buy the dining chairs I have been drooling over from Pottery Barn...but they don't offer a white slip cover. So glad to see yours paired with you table, because now I know I gotta have then! ;o) ~mary~

Your dining room looks fab!! If you are looking for candle sticks, have you tried Goodwill? I shop at the one on 170th Ave. and I have found some great silver candlesticks on the cheap there!

I love your table! I like the contrast in white slipcovers with the wicker chairs! Your chandlier looks so pretty over your table!

your dining room Rocks!

Loving all the white. I have to say I much prefer the chairs slipcovered. They seemed to stand out too much before.

My cat knocked my fave candlestick off a shelf, and I got it together once already til he knocked it over again, i'm beginning to think he hates it, and it's not meant to be!

You are so talented! I love the capiz chandelier, sunburst mirror, window treatments...all of it!

Ok, I totally did that same thing. I had just left Hobby Lobby with a splurge of a ceramic Fleur de Lis, and it fell out of my cart and smashed all over. I also sat there and glued it all back together piece by piece. Ugh! But it looks fine from a distance...haha. btw, your dining room is looking great!

I LOVE it Becky!! It looks amazy. I bet you were so sad when they broke. I can't wait for you to work your magic on my place.

Thanks guys! I like the white in that space and hey the chairs are protected from my evil kitties now lol!
Rachel- the curtains are (Ikea)called Lenda they were $29.99 for a pack of 2...very affordable and they definitely dont skimp on the length or width of fabric like most brands do! Love them! I think they are the same kind Holly posted about a while back!

Holly-I noticed the super crowded parking lot too when I have been driving past to bring my mom and sister to the airport...but this time I went after class on tues (around 7pm) and it wasnt too bad at all....I bypassed the upper level and took the shortcut right to the marketplace so maybe the zoo was upstairs!!!

LOVEEEEEE IT! You should seriouly be a profesional puzzle solver if you were that patient! It is going to be the best place in town for that romantic dinner~

Was Ikea a zoo? I really want to stop over there but the lot is always intimidating lately.

2009-11-19T11:36:15.423-07:00

The "after" pictures looks MUCH better than the "before"! You did a great job. Love the fact that the white slip covers tie in with the cutains and buffett. The photo above buffett is much better than the black mirror. Everything flows better and matches, without being too matchy-matchy. Looks great!! =)

Rebecca, what a doll you are for just piecing your lovely candle holders back together without a hysterical outburst of crying right there in the parking lot...no, i. have. not. done that before, thanks for asking (lol)...the room looks absolutely b.e.a.utiful! I love love love all the white you're adding. Amazing how it's so cozy and romantic all while being cool and casual. And this post has helped me finalize my decision to return the striped curtains I recently bought for our updated kitchen and replace them with super long white linen ones instead. Always the inspiration, you are my dear....

2009-11-19T07:08:49.028-07:00

I am curious to know what type of curtains you have hanging now. They look so flowy and bright. Plus I love the table decorations. I am looking to do something like that for my mantle.

2009-11-18T19:59:34.752-07:00

Love how it all came together. I need slipcovers too. I had no idea Ikea carries them. Thanks for the tid bit.

It looks BEAUTIFUL!!! Great job! I've been wishing you happiness while you wait for your man to return.

2009-11-18T17:51:33.243-07:00

I can't believe you were able to put that thing back together, it looks like it was really smashed at the bottom! What a difference the white curtains and white slipcovers make--white always seems like it will be coring, but it's really not. I like the larger piece you have over the buffet.

2009-11-18T15:55:11.707-07:00

I had nearly the same thing happen! Sunday a friend and I went to Home Goods and came home with several mercury glass pieces- two were broken by the time I got home, despite being wrapped in tissue paper. I didn't try gluing them though- they were just too far gone. Your dining room looks lovely!!

2009-11-18T15:31:59.280-07:00

What a gorgeous room! Definately soft and romantic, and light and breezy too!

Glad to hear you were able to put the holders back together!

I'm sure your soldier will love to have a meal with you there!

2009-11-18T15:26:10.465-07:00

Whoa! I cannot believe you pieced that together! You've got some serious skills! :) I love the updated dining room! It's so chic!!!
