Dining room

Hi! Come on in! This is the arch between my living room and dining room. I made this garland out of wild grapevines that grow out back of my shed. The first year it was just white lights and grapevine. I have hung different things, different years but like it plain now.

Since then I've added a pine cone and greens garland, a berry garland and these cool shimmery bells. I keep this up all winter and in the summer I put it around a double window on the deck. That is the only way I could figure out how to keep it. We do enjoy the lights out there too.

This is the decoration on my dining table. I really like the different textures here. I found this wooden bowl on a clearance rack somewhere.

I painted this candle a few years ago, as with most of my painting. It is hollow and holds a tealight so it will last forever. I painted tins with this same design for Christmas gifts one year.

You'll have to come back to see the rest of the dining room. See you tomorrow!
