Christmas in the dining room


I spent all day yesterday listening to football, re arranging, cleaning and decorating the family room/dining room for Christmas. I don’t post many pictures of this room because it's so hard to get a good picture. (poor lighting). But some of my favorite things are in this room, my old farm table, my beautiful Hoosier cupboard, my ironstone collection, all my crocks and yellow ware bowls. . . I just wanna share them with you. Please don’t judge the poor quality of the photos. If anyone has any advice on how to get better pictures with no natural light I would love to hear from you.
 
There is a lot to look at, tons of pictures. I have a list 10 miles long of stuff I have to do to get ready for Christmas, so I decided to do the entire room at once and be done with it. Blogging takes a lot of time.
 
Enjoy !

I kept it all simple and natural. We’re spending Christmas at my daughters this year, so I didn’t put a tree up. I have a small Charlie Brown tree in the living room, that’s going to be it this year.
I just got this HUGE coffee pot. I’m a sucker for all things enamel ware, especially black and white enamel ware. I love it stuffed full of cedar boughs and pinecones, I can’t wait to fill it with hydrangeas this summer.

I have had the adorable leaded glass cupboard for a very long time, but I have struggled what/where to use it. I decided to turn this nook into my message area. It actually hides a door that has the water meter inside. I dread the day I have to get into the closet. . .

  3. Your dining area is beautiful! I love the farmhouse charm! We too live in a small old farmhouse and it gives me such a thrill when people share "real life" pictures on their blogs. The little cabinet is charming. And your Hoosier looks so festive! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

  5. Hi LindaLee. . . thanks for the sweet comment. I would love for you to be able to pin from mmy blog. However, there is a problem with Blogger/Pinterest, I haven't been able to pin from here for quite awhile> I have tried to find an answer so I could fix it, but no one seems to be able to help. Sorry. .
