Creating a Fresh, Bright, Farmhouse Dining Room

Farmhouse Dining Room

Ahhh, hello friends!

Doesn’t it feel good to be in 2017. There is just something about stepping your first foot into the new year, a blank slate, full of possibilities. I’m not trying to get ahead of the ball here, but I’ve got a lot of personal and career goals for this year, and I’m ready to rock them all!

Each new year I get the itch to pack up all of our holiday decor, and transition into a simpler, cleaner, brighter, and more organized house. After many years, I’ve finally realized that my mind is at peace when our home is clean, and less stuff makes that goal easier to attain. My husband and I have a plan to go from room to room really cleaning out and trying to find the things we absolutely love and need. First, was the dining room. I cleared out everything we didn’t need – and I’m loving the bright, clean, look!

There is still so much we’d like to do with this space, but we’re taking it one step at a time. I finally settled on the perfect farmhouse rug that I got for a steal on Amazon. And once I received it, and laid it down on the floor, it instantly tied the whole room together. It’s this awesome chunky weave with fringe, and it’s super affordable at just $100!

Isn’t it gorgeous?! Don’t mind the cat bed, we have a sweet older kitty who loves to lay by the heat vent all day and snooze, so I know better than to touch her spot. 🙂

The next update we’d like to make to the dining room is to swap out the lighting. The molding pictured below is original to our house, and I love it – so I want to keep that the same. But I have been searching for lighting that would better fit our space.

Here are some replacement options I’ve found (I kind of love them all), so be sure to comment and let me know which is your favorite.

Lighting Options:

I’d also really love to find a large piece to hang on the wall, maybe something like the wooden sign we have in our living room that has an uplifting message or phrase. Any way, I’m in no rush to getting everything crossed off our list, because the hunt for the perfect pieces are so much fun!

Ooh, don’t forget —

Comment letting me know which of these four lighting option is YOUR favorite?

    I love that look! The thing that I find so great about this look is that it does a great job of being clean and bright without feeling stark. That’s key.

    That is such a lovely space. A lot of times, when people try to make a simple room, they also make it a sparse, cold room. You showcased a great balance of simplicity and warmth. I love it!

    I have always loved the farmhouse look in any room. Your dining room looks amazing and I do love that light. If I were to switch the light figure I would choose the Large Antique Whitewash Wood Bead Chandelier out of the four. Thanks for sharing.

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.

It can be REALLY easy to feel shame for "not doing enough" on the days that are hard for us. But taking the time to heal and give your body what it needs IS being productive, and that’s something that I’m always trying to remind myself.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else needs the reminder, too. ✨ You ARE enough, and you’re DOING enough, even if it’s not as much as you did yesterday.

#ad 💕 I was so excited to hear that @athleta had worked with active women of all sizes to not only extend their sizing but also to test each piece to ensure the fit and performance was perfect. I’ve always marveled at the Athleta styles and to finally wear them myself was huge!

I am a 22/24 and wear a 3X typically, in Athleta I am a 2X and the pieces fit like a glove. The fabrics are soft and comfortable and I just really feel like they succeeded in their mission to create gorgeous, size-inclusive workout wear.

I’m doing a full try-on of a few different styles in my stories. Take a peek and let me know which active look I shared is your favorite!
