Remember this? This is how the diningroom (and part of the livingroom too) looked like in the prospect. When I first loooked into buying the house. The lady that lived here before left me the sofa, tv and dining table. Which I painted... The colours were all dark and in the 90's. Not to my taste at all....

I started out dreaming of a home that felt like a calm, cool summer's day, all year around... A vision I have carried out to my best effort. And I guess I am very happy with all my finnished rooms, but the dining room is the best example of that vision. Colours are kept in pale pale (almost white) green, egg blue hues, teals and greens. With a few darker details. The "theme" is birds, and I have decorated with birds throughout.
of course we had our breakfast in the new room... and enjoyed newly bought tulips! The table is painted white by me. It used to be pinewood.

Of course I am a sucker for candles... and we sat there for ages, drinking coffee out of my favorite greengate cups!

Detail shots of my bird cage... I just love that cage... and I have so many ideas for it!

the buffet I bought on finn.no, I was going to paint it... but I have painted *everything* white, and Ole said it started to look very diffused... no contrasts... so I figured, why not *try* it in dark wood first, and see if I like it? And I think I do, I think I even might LOVE it! What do you think? White or dark? Either way though, it will stay this way untill summer. And I am going to change the knobs...

Details from the buffet. Of course, I had to decorate with dragonflies.... gifts from Darcy! My fantastic friend in the US.

And yesterday, when Mille arrived, she came bearing gifts!!! I was so surprised!!! What could they contain? Mille knows my style and taste so well, I just KNEW it would be brilliant...

and it was... check out that greengate pitcher! I ADORE it, and I cant wait till spring so I can fill it with fresh picked flowers. I also got a greegate tablecloth... which you can see on the kitchen table in my last post.

I think the diningroom has gone through some majour changes!!! A full view will be posted once my chandelier is in place... becuase the lamp I have now... is just horrible!!! Ha ha...
Have a great saturday!
