Home Tour-Living/Dining Room

I recently rearranged my home to incorporate my dining table into my living room. It seems strange, but the way my house was designed makes no sense at all. There is a wall separating the family room and living room but the fireplace and tv niche is on the side where the kitchen is. That left us with one place to make our dining room...in the family room away from the kitchen. After four years of having the table there, I finally figured out how to move it into the living room without it being too cluttered. Here is the final result and I am so happy with it. I love how rearranging furniture can make it feel like a new place. :)





Looking at this room makes me remember why I love the look of a handmade home. What do you love in your home that you've made?

I've been doing a lot of redecorating lately so here are some new changes for Spring 2011 ;)

I added some corbels to the shelves and painted them white.  I love the freshness it adds!
