branard street part two

the next room in the house, through the darling archway in the living room, is the dining room, which we think is the most adult room in the house. i love its neutral brown, white & green color scheme, and that it has taken on a south-carolina-theme, thanks to ww's two massive maps on the wall.  it is also a complete melting pot of different furniture that came together so nicely.  the awesome kitchen table & bench came from ww's house growing up, while the two kitchen chairs and bar/hutch came from the house that i grew up in! (you could say our parents were happy to empty out a few storage units on us.)


the rug was inherited from an old roommate of ww's and fit perfectly in the room.  the corner table and lamp were in my apartment in dc. and the two maps on the wall are very special to ww. on the left of the table is a south carolina state map he had in his college dorm room, and on the right is a coastal marine map of the charleston harbor, which is the first christmas present i ever gave to him.


and the place settings... well, they were a gift to myself.


having a real bar is so much fun, too. 


this weekend we used the dining room table for the first time & hosted a spanish-themed dinner party. next up, i will give you all the deets on that.
