Delicious Dining Rooms and Nooks!

Bonjour Friday!
We meet again! You must have missed me as much as I missed you because you're back so soon! :)

I hope you're all having a great day, the holiday weekend is descending upon us quickly and I'm oh so ready for it! Today I had lunch with my mother, my cousin and a friend and we went to eat our favorite, THAI!!! AHHH! It was so delicious! My mouth is just drooling thinking about the Pad Thai, in fact I want more now! Grrr... I'm Thai obsessed, and now I've turned my cousin into an addict too! Hehe.

Anyway, this post is dedicated to gorgeous dining rooms, spaces, nooks, etc... I have pulled together a bunch of great images and I hope you enjoy them. As always I will follow this post up with many more dining rooms posts, this is just Part I. Enjoy!

Oh, and stay tuned for a post on the beautiful artsy new planters I bought, hopefully I can fill them with dirt, rocks, succulents and cacti over the long weekend and have a new planter reveal for you on Tuesday! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

  

I LOVE the glass bottle chandelier hanging above this dining table...  Not only is it "green" in that it is made from various used glass bottles, it lends a great rustic feel to the space and the varying shades of green are very pleasing to the eye!  Also, I really like t

Inspiring Kitchens: Part III

 Hola, Bonjour, Sabahou el kheir, Haai, G'day, Selam, Guten Tag, Kaixo, Hoi, Buon Giorno.... Hello!!

Yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood today!  Who knows why though... perhaps it's the cold weather we are experiencing here in Miami, although I'll admit that gets annoying pretty quickly!  There's no one particular thing that accounts for my exuberance today, other than being alive!  Hehe...  

So anyway, my move is rapidly approaching and to be honest I'm pretty behind in my packing.  In fact, so far I have only four or five sealed boxes.  Ugh, I know I know, I better get a move on, but it's the holidays and so much is going on that it's difficult.  For example, the past week has been Art Basel here in the Miami Design District and there have been many events, including the one I attended last Thursday night to meet Dutch Artist and Designer Mariska Meijers (a post on that later), whose work I featured some time ago in this post.  Among other things, my great aunt and godmother has been in and out of the hospital since her initial surgery and it has been stressful and hectic for me and my family.  Suffice it to say I've been distracted and I'm soooo ready for this move to be done with so I can enjoy the rest of the holiday season!

However, at this very moment there is nothing I can do about my packing, or lack thereof (other than think about fast ways to tackle the packing once I get home today)...  So I'll just sit here oooh-ahhing over pretty images across the net whilst sipping my morning joe and composing more inspirational posts for your viewing pleasure!  Yes, that sounds like a good plant to me, coffee and blogging!....  Beginning with Part III of my Inspiring Kitchens series!  Enjoy!
