breakfast nook tour.

Next up on the home tour is the breakfast nook. There's not much of a dining room in this house so this is really the only place for our table to go. I just re-finished the table, or rather un-finished the table but I'll get to that in another post.

I picked up this basket in a $2 grab bag from Micheal's. Does your local Micheal's do that? There was some other junk items in the bag but I really only purchased it for this basket. It holds our napkins and fruit bowl. Best $2 spent ever.

My small but hopefully growing collection of blue transferware. You can also see our family cottage name sign hanging there. Next to those closet doors {the laundry} is the front door. Not much of an entryway at all.

Viewing the space from the entry way. This view makes the space look larger than it is. Also the leaf is not in the table at the moment, it's waiting for it's makeover to match.

The view from the actual kitchen {which is not a great sight so I won't waste your time with ugly builder grade pieces}. The curtains were actually 2 that I cut each in half so I would have cafe style curtains in here.

My vintage framed chalkboard is here. Currently it is holding our summer to do list. {You can see it as our Christmas countdown here.}

That completes that room/space. It's pretty tight especially when we have family gatherings but I guess it's better than nothing. I dream of a larger area in which a homemade farmhouse table can reside with at least 8-10 chairs comfortably sitting around it, big enough for all of our family gatherings and holidays... someday.

You can see this space ready for the holidays here.

{I've also added a home tour page up there on top. There you can view all of the rooms I have decorated for us in our current and previous homes. And get a sneak peek of tomorrow's room tour, the family room.}

Hope you enjoyed!
