Simple and Serene Living: the vintage dining room

the vintage dining room

I thought I would have some fun playing on pinterest this morning. Found some new favorite dining spaces.

I think this has a wonderful farmhouse feel with its painted white beadboard and the mix of painted and bare wood pieces.

A mix of rustic and elegant dining on the porch. Yes please!

I think this has a feel of bringing the outdoors in with the use of the wicker combined with the painted farm table.

I love this plate collection and the way the pictures are hung at eye level to those sitting at the table.

A real vintage modern feel.

I love all of these and I'm having a hard time choosing my favorite. What do you think? I know one thing. I could spend a lot of time on Pinterest. And now, we are expecting another round of major storms today, so I guess I better get off Pinterest and go batten down the hatches.

It is hard to pick a favorite because they're all such great images! I think I'm leaning toward the rustic & elegant on the porch. It's fabulous!

I would like to eat every meal at that porch setting. It's my first pick, but of course I like that 2nd one too!

I LOVE the first one, but then again, it's a lot like my dining space. Ha ha. That green dolly is pretty neato too!

I love those! I think my favorites are the second and the last - probably the last one is my very favorite. So fun!

You explained the second picture (my fav) perfectly: rustic elegance. I would love to have a meal in that setting. Have a great weekend!

Hi, Laura! New follower here!
I loved all of them! Loved the painted paneling...
Loved the mix and match of tables and chairs...
And LOVED the chandeliers, specially the last one!
I recently bought a new (used) dining table, so great timing!!

Oh I adore that first table. I have black windsors and would love a rustic farm table.

I love the first photo with the dark chairs/light walls. Nice.

Pinterest is so addicting! I never would have thought to put a chandiler on the porch! What fun!

Wow, they are all beautiful. I have to go with number one (though number two is close). The first one is so simple yet beautiful.
Thanks for sharing these. :)
