My Home: Dining Area

Here is my home dining area.

Now it may look a little funny to have the top shelves storing dinnerware and the 

bottom shelves filled with bins and files, however, our dining area 

also serves as our homework/art area. 

In an attempt to be organized, I finally broke down and let the practical side rule,

 and have tried to figure out a way to store our homework and art by our table. 

The bins are from Ikea and hold the piles of work that the kids bring home.

*The dinnerware is from West Elm. 

Although these particular plates are no longer available, they always have fantastic dinnerware. 

*Recycled Glass Vases West Elm

*Rug is from Ikea

*Porcelain Bananas from Modern Palm 

*Iittala Dinnerware from Modern Palm

  These happen to be the chairs that I spoke of earlier. 

They are hanging on and some are broken and need to be replaced. 

Earlier I shared some of my dream chairs.

There is a black bench on the back side. 

Usually, I have the bench on the exposed side of the table, but my little 2 year old has 

had a problem with it falling lately. He likes to climb all over everything and make things fall, 

so I had to move it to the other side for safety purposes.
