Sometimes it all just comes together

 Mr. D and I have been hard at work to get our formal dining room completed before Thanksgiving.  We had to enlist the help from an interior designers assistant (I love you Rhonda!) to go shopping with me and get the last few key components to dress the room how I was envisioning in my head but it's come together beautifully and I'm quite proud so I thought I'd show it off.

Now, you'll have to use your imagination for the next couple of pics as these are the BEFORE.  The room itself is quite dark, so getting good pics is hard. 

Just a boring space needing some life pumped into it.

And AFTER!!   

We got a little excited and already put out our Christmas center piece and the two 7.5 foot tall trees in the corners which my kids are loving each night.  They play, "Christmas" as they bring "presents" to place under the trees.  We spoil their fun each night when we make them clean up their mess though.

I LOVE Fleur de Lis so you can imagine what went through me when I found these tassels to dress up my gorgeous shiny crimson panels!

I'm proud of this room, I can't wait for Thanksgiving now and to have my guests enjoy the holiday in a fancy, formal dining room.

P.S.  You can click on each picture to blow it up so you can get a better effect.  I'm a proud girly!
