This summer I decided to take on a project… photographing the rooms in my house I haven’t shared yet! If you didn’t know, we renovated this house a few years back. It was a pretty big undertaking but I love our location - right around the corner from where I grew up and where my parents still live, our property - wood acreage that is rare to find in town, and our house - designed by myself and renovated by my Dad’s company.

Our living, kitchen and dining room are all open to each other. We use our dining room every night (that we eat at home) and I love that. It’s not a formal space that collects dust. It’s the family table where we not only share meals, it’s where homework is done, where puzzles are put together, where games are played and where laughter is shared.

I wanted to keep the space beachy but neutral with a touch of farmhouse. The chairs and chandelier are from Ballard Designs and the table is from a local furniture company.

And if you’re curious about what the space looked like before… check out these pics! Quite the difference right? It’s hard to believe this is the same space!
