NC Part 6- The Dining Room

Here's the dining area in our
North Carolina 'Cabbage'.

We painted the window wall a rich Barn Red,

 Sherwin Williams-Martha Stewart Signature.

We changed out the wrought iron chandelier
 to an antler chandelier. We used what we
had to furnish the Cabbage. The furniture
we've collected over the years has
found a home here. 

The table is very old. I've had it for over
40 years. It was given to me by a neighbor
in Chicago when she moved.
Someone had given it to her years earlier too.
 The ladder back chairs were bought in
Long Grove, IL many years ago.

 The antique corner cupboard, one of my
favorite pieces, was bought in Ohio.

A collection of oil lamps, some vintage, 

an antique wood cheese box all sit on top.

We attended several art shows while in IL.  

The artist Jack Schmitt was a favorite. 

I had several of his original watercolors

reframed and rematted to use here. 

 The bamboo blinds and suede valances are from K-Mart.

Free books from the Bryson City Library 

line the window ledge.

Pine cones and wooden apples fill an old 

wooden bowl on the table.

One of my favorite things about 

Fall in the Smokies

 is having a fire going every night.

I like that we can see the fireplace from the 

dining room table when we're having dinner. 

We even light the fire in the mornings to 

get the chill out, and enjoy it while 

we're having breakfast.

Stay Cozy...
