Welcome once again to Show and Tell Friday! It's always great to see so many of you joining in each week!
This week I'm sharing my reorganized dining room. I sold my white hutch that I had against this wall and I moved my blue china cabinet over to this space! (Sorry for the poor lighting...I took this photo in the early morning)
I love the way it looks here and it makes the room look so much bigger without so much furniture. Lauren must have said "it looks so much bigger in here" 5 times since I sold the hutch!
Moving the blue china cabinet also allows more natural light on my staircase. I didn't realize how much it blocked the light until I moved it!

What I won't share with you is the 8 boxes of china that I removed from the white hutch. I have the boxes stacked in my bedroom until I can figure out a better place to put them. I seriously need to do some Spring cleaning and get rid of some stuff! I sure wish I had a garage...
So what do you think? Do you like the blue cabinet here?

ReplyDeleteYour dining room is so lovely, Cindy. I know what you mean about the need to pare down. It's so hard though! You did a great job on the space - it's so inviting. Thanks for hosting!

It looks beautiful. Love the blue hutch. The room is gorgeous. That color blue looks almost like the color I used on several things in my home. Love the softness. Thanks so much for the blog party. I love participating and seeing all of the lovely things others are doing. Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteLove your dining room Cindy!! Thanks for hosting, Martina
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy, it looks beautiful with all the pretty whites in it on that wall! And it does make the room look bigger. Girl, I'm gonna come have your head examined if you ever let the blue cabinet go!!! :0)

I like the new spot for the blue cabinet. I liked your white cabinet too. So, I'm liking the change. It always keeps things fresh and motivates you to reorganize and rearrange and play with your things.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy thanks for hosting,Your dining room looks great. Your home is so pretty! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Oh, I love your blue china cabinet here.
ReplyDeleteI think I've messed up and not followed the guidelines to Show and Tell! I'm showing a luncheon at my church using my things from my home. If this doesn't apply, please feel free to delete it. After reading your post, I read the guidelines. I'm sorry.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
yes I LOVE LOVE the cabinet. Your dining room inspires me to keep my dream room a goal..plug away at making it a reality. Happy Memorial Day and thanks for the link up! I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Cindy, I like the blue one there better too!
ReplyDeleteI like it Cindy! It looks so pretty and the space does seem more open. It has a great shape to it.
ReplyDeleteCindy I love the blue cabinet and it is amazing how much bigger a room can look with a piece or 2 of furniture removed. I am getting ready to do the same thing in my study. Have a huge armoire in there that needs to be moved out. My son is coming this weekend to visit and hoping I can get him and hubby to move it for me. Isn't that terrible- they come and I make them work!!

I do like it! perfect for that spot - I can understand wanting more space for storage - we have an old house - storage is precious little here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this wonderful party,

I loved the look before, and I love it with the change. This look seems to have a more elegant, refined appearance though.

I posted a blog about a buffet makeover for some decorating ideas. I love the open china buffets for displaying shabby pieces. These buffets are easy to find and so much fun to re-do!

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I like it but I also enjoyed seeing all your pretty china. I am funny because if I have something pretty I can't stand to store it. I want it out to enjoy and dust!!! It is a nice change.

I absolutely love where you moved it. It really looks amazing there. Beautiful piece. Thanks for hosting the party. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is this space! Love it! Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteCindy, thank you again for hostessing!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post, this was my first time on here, and I loved linking around to all the talented blogs! Thank you!

My linky may not be "romantic" like all your beautiful posts but I do LOVE my country and I love being patriotic. You are very talented!!
ReplyDeleteYes! It looks beautiful. You are inspiring me to paint my new buffet and my china cabinet in a soft gray, not white!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your home is truly an inspiration! I love the mix of furniture and styles.
ReplyDelete-Caroline
Gorgeous. I don't think you would ever change anything that wouldn't be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte
It looks so lovely! You've inspired me to do some rearranging and redecorating in my home!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes and Blessings,

Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI adore, love, and am enamored with the less cute look you have transformed to a more refind European chicness to the rooms heart and soul...Breating new life into it, while letting it tell you what it wants to be :)
Happy weekend, much inspiration!

Come visit it has been way to long :(
see my latest salvage art.

Stunning. You have one of the most elegant and royal dining rooms I've seen here in Blogger.
ReplyDeleteI really like your chandelier and the padded chairs. You have a queen's style in you.
However, the blue cabinet is kinda off with the setting. Maybe you should paint it in white or dark brown perhaps? But it still looks great.
WOW! what a lovely blog and how did I miss it for so long.. :) Following the Romantic Home now.. and joining in the Show and Tell Friday too.. :) Perfect timing it was, i just blogged about a heirloom and found this link up party :) Happy to find this blog..
ReplyDeleteTotally love it, Cindy! The room has more breathing space now.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for hosting. Have a great week :D

Cindy, it looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband says I have too much stuff, I tell him I don't have too much stuff, I just need a bigger house. ha ha.
You really are an awesome decorator!
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. Couple questions. The blue china hutch is it antiqued or just plain blue paint? It looks antiqued. The white wicker chair backs looks painted too. How did you get the paint to stick to that? Not like you can sand. Want to try to duplicate love the look thanks for sharing.
Cindy, chines hutch arrangement looks great and beautiful shining. It's really amazing shining to impress gust's.Black Bathroom Vanities
