The farmhouse dining room is ready for guests! Come on over, we love having people visit, especially if you share our love for old homes.
And this time, it’s not just a tour, but a Spring Dining Room Tour!
Technically, this room is more of what you might call a fireside room. Meaning, this room houses our wood stove and everything in here revolves around it.
Sometimes its our dining room, sometimes its our sitting room. But, it is always our fireside room.
It separates the living room from the kitchen and has a simple built in book shelf that we added when we did the kitchen remodel.

I added in some pictures and white dishes to the bookshelf with some pops of black and green. You can learn more about how I styled it in my How to Style Bookshelves post.
I bought a large butterfly print and frame from Ikea and hung this on the brick accent wall.
Underneath that, I have our collection of black umbrellas and our walking stick the looks like our beloved dog. The idea is that it would look like the umbrellas were drying out by the fire.
Across from the wood stove is a little vignette with a dress and a hanging basket of peonies, think Easter vibes here.
On the table is a marble slab, with a rope handled cloche. Inside the cloche is a small, variegated plant from . . ., you guessed it, IKEA! And a simple white candle rounds out this spring centerpiece.
I have a lot of fun with the gallery wall behind the table and this season is no exception. My louvered bi-fold door is posing an amazing shutter and back drop in the corner.
On the wall, I have a lovely bird sketch in a black frame from the amazing Ikea also pictured are an oval platter, round hanging mirror from Joanns and honey bee pic I made last summer.
Finally, I saved the best for last, the gorgeous round jute rug is from World Market and adore it. It has not shed a bit and is super soft. See, even the kitty agrees!
I may or may not have taken a nap on it in front of the fire since it’s purchase.
Such a cozy room, I hope you enjoyed your tour. Let’s do this again soon! Before you go, let me know in the comments which decoration is your favorite piece, I’d love to know.

Hi Sarah! What a lovely dining room. I especially like the slip covers for your dining chairs; where did you get them? I would like something similar for our dining room.
Thanks for all the design ideas.

Thank you, Laura! Those slipcovers were made by yours truly. Here is the blog post and tutorial https://sheholdsdearly.com/no-pattern-diy-slipcover-tutorial/
I see you got your slips all made for the chairs! Nice. And SO LOVE the round table in this room. It keeps the room open, not closing that area off. You have a definite gift for putting just enough in a room that it feels cozy, but never cluttered. Gorgeous room. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I did! Thank you for all your kind words, you are such a good friend to me. xoxo
Such a pretty room! We call room in our house with the woodstove “The Keeping Room” much like the fireside room it just sounds so old fashioned and nostalgic. Thanks for the tour!

Yes, all great choices, I like the way you think.
Everything in this room is beautiful! I love a bit of the rustic touch, so my favorite item is the metal/tin (?) bucket, perfectly holding the umbrellas and walking stick.

Thank you, Alisa, my sentiments exactly!
A very nostalgic room. I love it and it does bring special memories back to me from my Youth. My favorite item is the wonderful metal container and your black umbrella and walking stick idea.
Author
Oh, I love the people are choosing that metal container with all the goodies in it.
I really like the round table and the Slipcovered chairs.
