Sharing all of the dining room details. I’m always focused on quality pieces that can actually hold up to real life — kids, everyday use, and a few messy goldendoodles running through the house. Pretty is great, but it also has to function well for our day to day. Our oval dining table has been holding strong for almost three years now and still looks just as beautiful as the day we got it. I love the shape for this space — it softens everything and makes it feel really inviting when everyone gathers around. The oak dining chairs have the prettiest paper rush detail that adds just the right amount of texture while still keeping the room neutral and timeless. On the ends, I added subtle striped slipcovered chairs that roll, which makes them super practical but still feel soft and tailored. Underneath everything is this wool rug with the most subtle print. It’s actually the same rug I used in our living room before moving it in here, and it has held up incredibly well over time. And the buffet might be one of my favorite pieces in the room. It could easily work in an entryway too. Ours has unfortunately been discontinued, but Lulu and Georgia sells an almost identical piece that actually has shelves inside — which I might like even more.
