This was only the beginning, as my wheels began to turn. I rearrange the livingroom furniture fairly regularly (who doesn't?) and I was starting to feel that itch anyway. Only this time, I really wanted to find a space for that red chair!!! So I had this vision for a breakfast nook in the area off the kitchen. It's supposed to be an eat-in dining area, and we were using it for that, but it didn't really work for us. So that was where I saw the breakfast nook.
Mismatched dishes are my favorite! And the kitties have shown their approval.
Now.
In the past, I've had ideas for different furniture configurations and Husband just can't picture it. So, since we have hardwood floors, I've been able to just move things myself and SHOW him what I see with not much effort. THIS one involved moving 3 areas instead of just one. He couldn't see it at all, needless to say. But I was convinced that if I could get it done, he would love it (he was a bit skeptical). So I did it! And we both LOVE it! We've done breakfast every morning since in the nook. And it's glorious. So here it is! 
And this is the new dining area off the livingroom.
Ignore my Swiffer. So, my Mama came over to christen the space with a lovely pot of tea.
This sweet friend not only gave us the chair and ottoman, but also the gorgeous wood breakfast table. She basically provided the nook. And as I looked around my assortment of furniture from the living, dining and breakfast rooms, I realized that they all came from different people, yet somehow all go together (in my funky, retro/vintage style way)!! So to everyone who has helped furnish our house, either by selling it cheaply or giving it freely, we thank you so much. Our home is a cozy delight and we adore spending time here because of you. I plan to have sweet friend Ms. J over for tea soon. Hope you enjoy the peek into our home!
Lots of love and coziness,
Bianca
