Modern Country Dining Heaven


Hey chickadees,
*******************
Did I mention 
{as if I wouldn't have...} 
Monday is the day of a hot-tottie giveaway?

Remember me reviewing Holly Becker 
and Joanna Copestick's 

That's the puppy!

Monday 29th.
Be there....
*********************

When I saw this room for the first time, 

palpitations were the order of the day.


The beautiful mixture of old and new is 
so perfectly Modern Country.

The colour palette.
*swoon*

The fireplace.
*sigh*

The old-fashioned telephone.
*faint*

The fabrics.
*thump, thump, thump*


Now, I don't know about you 
but I'm feeling as though chocolate is needed 
to get me through this heart-racing ordeal.

See you by the chocolate stash?
{Please tell me you have one too...}

  1. I like the colours palette..I have exactly the same lantern that lies on the fireplace and my mum owns a vintage telephone like the one in picture, but it's yellow!
    A big hug

  24. It's a lovely room, but I have a few reservations about:
    1. the dog (not a dog person, sorry!);
    2. the mugs - I find things always taste funny out of metal mugs;
    3. the coal bucket because it has wood in it, which messes with my world view.

    I do like pretty much everything else, though!

    Oh, and I am the keeper of the chocolate for both myself and my wife, and I'm not telling anyone where it is!

  25. Oooo isn't that such a dreamy and comfortable space?!! I'm with you, patootie! It looks like you just want to hang out with a cup of coffee and read your favortie book/magazine. The table and candlesticks are really stunning!

    Hope you've had a wonderful weekend!
    Love to you...

  26. To me, the dog makes it look so comfy and welcoming... I mean a dog would know where in the house it's best to rest.
    Note to self: try to include a nice armchair in my tiny dining-room!

  27. So thankful
    for you, today,
    and the smile
    that I ALWAYS
    leave your blog
    with : ) I LOVE
    this room, too!
    I am slowly bringing
    more blue into our
    world at home, so
    this speaks to me.
    xx Suzanne
    PS: Stash? Heck,
    yes. I'll need to
    dip into it on Wed,
    when my kids go back
    to school...sniff, sniff.

  31. It is lovely and not too pretty pretty, which is the category my house falls into. A bit of modern is good too. There can be a bit too much shabby chic.
    I do miss the chazza shops soooooooo much. What a saddo I am ! xxx

  34. I found this post yesterday, intended to pin it, then lost the post. This morning, I looked through all of your posts to find this blue checked wing back chair. The fireplace, the dining table...I love this room. I have moved into a open concept home and have little room to make statements. Also, a hubby who does NOT agree with my tastes :( Somehow, I am going to incorporate this look into what we have. Hugs, Jan

  35. Do you have any more pictures of this home? I am actuallly using this dining area picture to follow throughout my home....navy blue, browns, creams...I would love to see the bedroom of this home. I saw that it came from 25 Beautiful Homes and I just cannot find it. Please help!!! Hugs, Jan

  36. Lovely lovely indeed! Esp the nice blend of fabric patterns, the large plaid with the subtle stripe in the blinds. Definitely a Modern Country look!
