Dining Room
The fact that our apartment actually has a dining room still amazes me. I think back to our old apartment and how cramped it was despite our best efforts, and I feel like our new home is a huge breath of fresh air. Being able to cook for other people and actually have the space to entertain is such a dream come true. I feel so lucky that we found this apartment. Anyway….
We searched and searched for a dining room table and Shawn finally found this whole set on craigslist. It was in beautiful condition and surprisingly more affordable than many of the other tables out there. It came with chairs as well, which we’re not in such good shape. I just realized that we only have 3 chairs at the table in this photo. I swear we have more! I probably should have taken the table cloth off too, but I am so glad that I finally have a tablecloth.
Obviously the highlight of room is finally being able to display our Victrola. You know you’ve found a winner for a husband when you meet a guy who collects all these fantastic vintage things. This lovely thing had been in our dreaded storage unit forever. For the record (no pun intended) it still plays and sounds beautiful. It does need a little dusting though.
That’s it for our home tour at the moment. There are still 3 rooms and one terribly long hallway to share, but that will come all in good time dear readers.
In case you missed it, we started with the bedroom.
Holy crap that record player is amazing! I really like all the colours you have chosen for the walls in your place. You guys do a really nice job showcasing your vintage pieces.
I’ll start taking some pics of my new place soon, and let you know when I post em up.
Take care!
very cool, can’t wait to see!
I finally got around to it, and had a decent amount of light in the apt to take pictures.

Oh wow, that Victrola is beautiful! It looks perfect in the dining room.
We don’t have a dining room and it is the only thing I would change about my little house. Yours is lovely!!
Gorgeous. I love my home but I would consider moving if I found somewhere where I could have a dining room.
What a beautiful china cabinet!
thank you! i still can’t believe we found a set that had the table, buffet and china cabinet. dream come true!
I LOVE your stuffed animals nook! I have a similar collection of strange yet adorable stuffed animals, this gives me a great idea 😉
thanks! we have a lot of little stuffed animals and creatures around our home. i’m glad they have a few permanent spots like this one.
I love the old record player! Mine isn’t vintage at all, but it plays my old vintage records just fine. I love nothing more than listening to them while I am actually at home to enjoy them.
