Happy Friday y’all!
First, thank you so much for all your fantastic and uplifting comments about my dining room. I am honored that so many of you liked my room as much as I do.
Second, I am so excited that today, Miss Kim over at Savvy Southern Style, has invited me to share My Favorite Room over at her beautiful blog! I have loved her blog for ages, so I am beyond thrilled that she invited me to write a post about a room in my home! I share even more details about my dining room and the changes I’ve made in my guest post today, so be sure to hop on over to Savvy Southern Style to take a look.
Finally, I want to answer a couple of questions that came up about my room:
Wall paint color: Weekend in the Country (don’t you love that name?) by Valspar (Lowe’s). However, I had it color-matched at Home Depot in their Behr Premium Plus paint. It was just a personal thing. I really love the Behr PP paint…it has such great coverage and I was painting over a dark faux finish and I didn’t want to do a million coats.
Chair Fabric: Checkmate in Acorn – Calico Corners
Slipcover Fabric: I don’t know the name of it. It’s an upholstery linen fabric I bought at a local discount interior fabric store in Hurst, TX called, Home Fabrics.
Pillow Fabric: John Robshaw’s Mani Indigo ordered from House Fabric.
I will sharing a tutorial on how I reupholstered the checked chairs and the slipcovers soon so please check back.
That’s it for now. Thank you, again, for all of the great comments and don’t forget to go to Savvy Southern Style today to check out my guest post!
For past Favorite Rooms go here…lots of great eye candy!

Hi Julie,
My first time to visit and I came over from Kim’s. What a lovely,
warm, and inviting dining area…….Just love the simplicity and wonderful beauty of it. Your plate wall vignette is so lovely and creative. I really really like it so much, and like the pops of color. You did a marvelous job on this room….truly!
So enjoyed my visit with you. Thanks for sharing this great space with us. Must say too, you are quite the upholsterer, those chairs look fabulous, and I love that buffalo check too.
Blessings, Nellie
Thank you so much, Nellie!
Hi, Julie. I’m here after thoroughly enjoying your lovely dining room at Savvy Southern Style. Your dining room is lovely, and your blog is delightful! As a follower from IL, I’ll be sure to send pix of my 3 lilac bushes your way each spring. Just looking at a photo of them sends their incomparable fragrance rushing immediately to my memory! ~~Merri Jo
