Pottery Barn Dining Room Overhaul

When Martin & I moved into our new house (it'll be two years this January. Wow time flies!) we really weren't sure how to set up our dining room. We chose a small round Ikea table as a quick fix because we were worried a larger table would overwhelm the space. But then, this past August we were hosting two events at our home and quickly realized we wouldn't have enough room for appetizers, plates and wine glasses. So, I came up with a late night plan. Haha, poor Martin! He knows me well, and knew we'd be assembling into the wee hours.

And so, we unpacked our Pottery Barn Toscana Dining Table which was stored in our garage since our recent move and I'm so happy we did. You might recall we had it in our previous condo. But somehow, we were convinced it wouldn't work. Lesson learned! Next time, we'll definitely arrange our furniture first and then make decisions as we go. Plus when it comes to Pottery Barn... it's kind of a no brainer. I love their aesthetic and find it always suits different spaces beautifully. Our pillows, curtains and curtain rod, plates and candle votives are also recent Pottery Barn additions. Clearly, I like, what I like.

We now spend so much more time in our dining area. Our dining room is situated in the middle of our main living floor with the kitchen to the right and living room to the left. It's our favourite spot to gather after a long day and connect over dinner, and host friends. I should also mention, our table seats six when you add two chairs at each end, or it extends to seat eight which is perfect for us. I also love sitting at our dining table with a hot cup of coffee and getting caught up on work emails in the morning. We still plan on finishing the space with a new chandelier and dining chairs. But for now this is perfect! Excited our home is feeling more like home each and everyday.
