Tonight I looked up some of your 2008 DIY's like your MB tub surround...the molding and the<br />tiling. Gorgeous! All of your dining room incarnations, especially the very sophisticated dark brown, I loved. However, I understand it was more a beautiful showpiece rather than a functional room in your home. Love, love, love the transformation to the cozy, useful, lovely space its become. Noticed the new rug and love it. I've been searching for a large rug like that one for our newly redecorated, not quite completed, MB. Sarah, congratulations on your nine years of blogging. I hope you'll continue into infinity since yours is one of the very best DIY blogs to be seen, and your taste is exquisite to my mind. Best wishes for 2016 to you and yours.

But it is such a wasted and random space. We use it as a den-type area, but I hate it for that too. I like your idea much better! We have an upright piano, a lawyer's book shelf and a large desk. (Like I said--random.)

MORE BOOKS! ;) I always laugh in an envious way at people with decorated and cooridnated book shelf adornments, because my book shelves are so crammed with books that they are about to topple over! I wish I had a dining room so that I could make a change like this, but I have one of those new homes with the open concept living room/dining room/kitchen, so only one place to eat. http://www.enchantinglyemily.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522699899323643373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-23675266945432871042016-01-12T07:04:25.995-05:002016-01-12T07:04:25.995-05:00You so beautifully transformed this room into a m...You so beautifully transformed this room into a most functional and cozy room.
