I thought I would take some photographs of my dining room, while it is still dressed for winter.  It is cold today and snowing not too far from here, but I am already thinking of spring.  Sailboats, ticking stripes, lemon and gray.  I am getting down all of my spring magazines from years past and pondering the changes I want to make this March.  I love this Iron Table, my mom purchased for me from my favorite little French store, Cote Soleil.  She is the most generous mother a girl, who really likes pretty things, could have.  And yes, I try not to like “things”, but I do anyway.  Working on that one…

The wooden spoons are from Pottery Barn and were a Christmas gift to me, from my lovely mother, last year.  They are in a temporary spot along this wall.  I have other plans, including open shelving for this wall.  Maybe I will get to it this year??

This is my chandelier.  Really it’s the  awful, builder installed lighting fixture in the dining room.  But I dressed it up with a sculpture I made from grapevine, twigs and vines.  The bird’s nests and red birds reside here in the winter.   I can’t remember what I did last spring, but I am thinking of butterflies this year.
