Belgian Style Dining Room

Well, hello there, rabbits,

I really am finding myself thinking about dining rooms a silly amount at the moment. I have a million zillion ideas floating around in my head.  
It's moved firmly into obsession territory. 

Regular readers will know that Modern Country Style always reflects my current fixations so please fasten your seat-belts and prepare to enter my head-space.
{Drinks and psychologists may be provided.}

One aspect of my enthusiasm is how to make dining spaces work 
b e a u t i f u l l y  w e l l. 
To really and truly earn their keep. 

It's a fine line between wanting the kitchen and eating areas to flow well but still allowing dirty saucepans to be hidden from guests. 
A very fine line indeed.


I love the way this Belgian Style kitchen and dining room have been planned (for more beautiful Modern Country Belgian Style spaces and tips on how to get the look, simply click on the link). 
The change of flooring between the two spaces allows a degree of separation between each room.

Over the next couple of weeks, 
I'll be sharing how I've tried to create that link 
between kitchen and dining room in our home.

Did I say obsessed?

  7. I can just see you making a giant pan of popcorn right there. I've always wanted a kitchen that made sitting at the dining room table a foregone conclusion. I want a bathroom that reminds me to take off my makeup and scrub my face as well. I know these things exist.

  12. I'm working on that fine line these days... Opening the space, but still keeping a little secret territory in the kitchen!

  14. Evidently, the Belgians decorate as well as they cook.

  16. The glue-down technique is much like the floating technique, however, the Vinyl planks are glued at once to the subfloor with the usage of a sturdy adhesive. This technique is greater time-eating and tough than the floating technique, so it's miles nice left to expert installers. Vinyl Plank Flooring Nashville
