I have so enjoyed Kelly's bloggy home tour carnival. Thanks Kelly for allowing me to participate. What fun!
This week is Dining Rooms but I'm also throwing in my Foyer since it's nearby and was turning up in a couple of the photos anyway.

A view looking in from the foyer:
(This was my Nana's Dining Room Suite and I am so proud to have it. To be honest, there was a time when I didn't feel the same way; it's beautiful but wasn't what I would've chosen. Now though, I treasure it and have made it a little more "me" by adding the oversized chairs and removing the shelf from the hutch-turned buffet.)
From the foyer / to the right:
A very favorite thing....a handpainted (not by me) ceiling medallion:

A wider view from the foyer into the Dining Room:
One of my only antiques. My Dad spent many years working for a company that did REconstruction (for homes with fire, water damage, etc.). He once was working for a lady with MANY interesting pieces and, one day, when Dad complimented this piece, she remarked that she had acquired it from a lady who owed her $100.00 for a wallpapering job that she couldn't collect on. Dad offered, "If you ever want your $100.00, I'll pay up for her and take this off your hands". She immediately took him up on it. It has the original leaded glass and beautiful inlay.
A fun little "pretty" (what my Grandma used to call decorative "things") by the front door:
The interior of the front doors:
A little spot to the right of the Dining Room:

Wow! Beautiful Dining Room. Love the Foyer & double front door!!
Wow, that room is beautiful. The first picture with the lamplight looks so inviting. I could sit in there for hours. Love the woven chairs, too. Thanks for visiting me - I consider comments from the owner of this room a huge compliment!
You have a gorgeous house. Love all the background on your pieces. I love family hand-me-downs.
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I love your room! It is gorgeous! Thanks for weighing in on the wall color and agreeing with me - hee hee! I'll win DH over to blue sooner or later!
Love your dining room. Our houses are similar in style. Now that I've seen yours, I am going to replace my light fixture..... and I really need a medallion on my ceiling!! Beautiful!
Oops, I forgot to ask... where did you get the chairs? They are great!
