Dining Room Inspiration

 

It’s time for another round of voting in Apartment Guide’s Your Picks. Your Place $10,000 sweepstakes. I’m honored to be one of four featured bloggers, alongside Liz from Hoosier Homemade, Shelley from How Does She, and Gina Luker.

Have you been voting every day? Set a reminder on your phone — your daily votes increase your chances to win, and I’d love for one of my readers to take the prize!

If a reader wins, I’ll be thrilled!

 

I WOULD POST YOUR PICTURE, WE’D BE BFFS!

You could use a $10,000 makeover for your place!

Okay, I’m getting carried away — you can absolutely keep the prize money and shop for your own home. But seriously, I want you to win.

The more often you vote, the better your odds of winning.

This time for my design board I was asked to put together a French Cottage dining room.

I added a farmhouse table and bench, paired with eclectic metal cafe chairs for an unexpected twist. I fell for the farmhouse table — a virtual splurge — and loved mixing the chairs and bench. Silver accessories, a beachy table runner and a crystal chandelier finish the look. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Starting at 9:01 ET on Thursday, you can vote for the newly posted design boards, including my French Cottage dining room. All the sources for the items in my virtual dining room are listed with my design board on Your Picks, Your Place.
