My favorite corners (living /dining room)

Since I am such a slacker I will probably NEVER EVER catch up I am going to share snippets of our home, my favorite corners.
Some are completely done, some still need some work (and by all means if you have ideas on how to improve or what to add or take away feel free to comment) I promise I won't mind.

I will try to do major updates as a seperate post but also add little snippets when I want to share a little something I have done.

Well better start now.....................

I will take you on a quick tour starting from the entrance.
We have one long room (which is a combo living/dining room) for quite a while we have had just the dining room and a empty spot....................but now
We have a couch and a table and a rug (this is the view when you walk into the house). The corner chair will be replaced at some point with a smaller one, but for now it will stay (without anything in the corner the room looked wierd, we tried).
We want to put something in that right hand corner (sidetable, lamp etc) and probably womething along that wall too).
All in due time (we have to pay this baby off first.....................any takers?)

Any who the next room is our "formal" dining room. The one that we use only a few time a year..........

Behind it is our buffet table, and here's a close-up of what's on it, family pictures and shiloettes I made for Rob for Xmas of the boys:



One last picture the wall opposite the "living" room. I love this little table (but hate the BIG BLANK WALL above it) . Any ideas (I have a few but haven't found what I am looking for), anywho here it is..............

I made little vingettes (is that how you spell that?), those tall glass canisters are filled with rocks, glass marbles and shells (from our visits to the Outer Banks) and the pictures around them were taken there as well. I also add words of "inspiration" (that I change about every 2-3 weeks)



On the other side I put my favorite frames with pictures of my favorite "guys" (if you can see they are pictures of the boys when they were younger and then some recent ones) and also some of Rob with the boys (when they were younger and then some more recent sorry for the flash I took these at night and needed the light).................
Here is a closer look:

I am really liking how this part if the house is turning out. We still have lots to go and it might take a while and even though sometimes I get frustrated I am still enjoying the journey.

I hope you stick with me and continue the journey though our home, next up our back yard...............
There's something new added!!!!
Be sure to check it out.
