De-Cluttering the Dining Area

I love putting up all my Christmas decorations but I am also really happy to get them down! By the time Christmas is over I am ready to de-clutter my house!!!
So I did that last week and over the weekend cleaned house and put things back together.
I kept it simple. Which feels so good.
 
The living room and dining room are one in the same. They share the same space. The table is an antique I bought at a garage sale. It is a square table that has two leaves that come out of the ends and pop up. Usually I leave it as a square but thought I would mix things up a bit and pop the leaves out.

 I am really liking it. It almost make the dining area look bigger. Weird I know.

The table cloth is from Target after Christmas clearance!!

I have a wreath that I might put above the mantel.

 I LOVE Ironstone. All of which came from garage sales.

I am really loving the old brick and new mantel.
 
I hope you don't get tired of seeing pictures of the much loved mantel!

  1. I really, really like your mantel! The old brick has so much more character and softer tones than the newer brick did.
    By the way, I am glad you are o'kay after your close call with the hot furnace! Enjoying your blog!
