Dining Room Divinity

A dining room is an essential part of the home because this is where “family time” occurs. You want it to feel inviting and cozy, yet have an elegant appeal. We have ways of giving a dining room that divine effect. Just follow our lead! We’ve got the tips and tricks you’re looking for.

The foundation of the room is obviously very important, because it affects what style you’re going for from the colors on the wall to the chandeliers to the flooring. What’s very in right now is an industrial style that has metal backbone and much wood. A wrought-iron chandelier is a great accent piece for this style. You can also try a wooden paneled dining room table with possibly bench style seating. This has a way of looking rough, but upscale all at the same time.

To give your walls a little additive that gives the room an updated look, you can install bead board around the lower part of the walls. This would work well with a mixture of styles if you really can’t decide what you would like. Which that means it’s perfect for everyone!

Want to give your dining room a glamorous touch? Change your dining room table to a marble tabletop like Emily Henderson’s dining room table shown here. It’s classy and elegant and girly and stylish and… We could go on and on. It’s beautiful and needed in every home.

We all love open floor plans, but sometimes, we can’t distinguish between each room if they’re all combined into one. We have a trick to solve this problem: use a rug to separate which items belong in which “room.” Have a dining room rug and a living room rug. It helps when the home is structured so nice and open.

Just to give a few more in style, up-to-date ideas, we are crazy for oversize lighting, bar carts instead of china cabinets, patterned accent rugs, and contrasting chairs. There are so many lovely ideas out there. It all just depends on what style you would like and what you find as inspiration for your own home. Check out a few more ideas below!

Mother’s Day Gifts For Every Mom

Mother’s Day is coming up, and every mom deserves something she is going to love (and actually use). For all the husband’s and children that don’t know what exactly to get for your amazing wife or mother, we have complied a few different ideas together to make this Mother’s Day a breath of fresh air for everyone. We have separated the gifts into categories depending on what mom enjoys doing each and every day. There is “the active mom”, “the stylish mom”, “the outdoor mom”, and “the foodie mom.”

This mother clearly likes to sweat it out whether she’s at the gym or doing some yoga at home. There is currently a craze over FitBit’s right now, and they have come out with girly colors to keep the craze going throughout Mother’s Day. It’s also always nice to get new versions of things you have, such as a new water bottle and a new yoga mat.  Some creative home workout equipment is always a great idea for a present as well.

The Stylish Mom would be more than happy to get an item to hold all her glitz and glam such as a jewelry dish or even a jewelry armoire. A woman also can never have too many purses, so that’s always a safe bet. ALWAYS. Some type of beauty cream or wash would be lovely to any woman as well. We love to pamper ourselves, so any skin care system would work, too. This Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System is an extremely popular mini-machine. It works wonders and would definitely be great for Mother’s Day.

Join your mom outside for Mother’s Day! If she loves spending time outdoors on the back patio, fit in to her lifestyle (at least for the day). Ask her what the backyard is missing. If she doesn’t want anything specific, an outside doormat is always a safe bet. They get dirty very quickly and need to be replaced often anyway. If she enjoys have friends over for cookouts and such, a fruit infused pitcher is a great idea. Fruit infused water is a huge deal right now, because it is both healthy and refreshing. If you find a cute decor item that goes with her current outdoor furniture, pick it up! She’ll love it, we’re sure! Last but not least, if she is a gardener, she will love anything that adds to her garden, such as cute, extra elevated garden space.

Does your mom spend all day in the kitchen cooking, baking, or meal prepping? Pick up something for her favorite room! If she doesn’t already own a KitchenAid mixer, she needs one. It is the best kitchen appliance in the world. It would be the ultimate gift for Mother’s Day. If she enjoys spending her time drinking coffee and reading magazines, a Keurig system might be in favor this year. If she already has all the appliances she could ever need, grace that room with some cute relatable decor. There are many pieces of artwork that have fun kitchen quotes that are sure to spruce up a room.

Remember to relate the present you get her to her every day life. If you know nothing about your mother (assuming you’re a teenager looking for Mother’s Day answers), simply just ask her. More than likely, she knows exactly what she would like. If no answers surface, create something for her. Mom’s always love presents that are made by hand with love.
