Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We had some lovely sunny warm weather here and I was able to get some bulbs planted in the garden. I found a great sale on them at Vankempen's- they are $1. a bag for anyone local who is interested.
Anyway, I am sharing a few changes in our library/dining room. I did get a new smaller round table (perfect for four)and I traded a bigger carpet with my daughter for this smaller one that shows more of the hardwood floor.
We already had this candle chandelier but it was used outdoors in the terrace in summer so now it hangs over the table in the library(from looking at the pics I think I will lower it a bit though).
It looks really cozy at night with the lighted candles.
I am a window peeper or door in this case!

There used to be a big armoire in this corner as some of you may remember. My other daughter gave me this old chair that i love but it needs to be recovered so I just put some fabric on it for now but what I really wanted to show you in this corner is the French looking tapestry. I loved it the minute I saw it at Coulson's and it was only $16,
I put this picture in to show you the armoire before pic.
This is what it looks like now upstairs in our guest room. I really like how it turned out but might antique it someday.
Well, this is Metamorphosis Monday at Between naps on the Porch so I am joining Susan again for this inspiring party. Thank you Susan for hosting.
Thank you so much for visiting me,
Carolyn

This is just beautiful. What I love is the chair near the fireplace-how lovely it would be to read near a warm fire. The table is perfect and a nice view of the fire plus you can look out the windows outside. I do agree with you about lowering the candle chandelier. The views through the glass door was so pretty and would be wonderful at Christmas. Your room is so warm and inviting.
Wonderful post, Carolyn! Just great. I love all the transformations in your home. Oh! The armoire....SO much better in the light color. Loved it. Great job! Susan
this is such an elegant and charming room. I have no doubt you enjoy every moment in it..
So warm and charming.

Gorgeous Carolyn! Very calming and elegant.
What a beautiful room!! I love the overall look...so cozy and comforting. You are so talented.
I also like the brown transfer ware and the armoire looks so pretty in the lighter color.
Carolyn, your library/dining room is full of warmth. The word "cozy" doesn't do it justice. I love getting a peek into the rooms of your home. It's all so charming.
What a beautiful and cozy room!
Ok, I LOVE this room, and several things in it that need to come to my house, lol!
So cozy and nice.

I loved it all. Especially the sun comming through the window. Makes it so warm and cozy.
I love the white armoire and the wall paper in the guest room and the sun beam through the windows. All look cozy and relaxing.
Have a nice week.

Such a cosy room, and I think it was brave of you to take on the armorie - I don't think I would have had the courage to paint it. It's a great job and the white looks wonderful. xx
C'est la définition exacte (pour moi) de ce qu'on appelle un intérieur cosy !
Vraiment joli !

Beautiful as always. I love that wallpaper behind the armoir.

You always inspire me, Carolyn! I love visiting your beautiful blog and your beautiful home through the wonderful pictures.
Hope you're doing well.

Wow Carolyn,
Your armoire looks great! Painting it must have taken you a lot of time. Your library looks very welcoming. The perfect place to sit in the winter with a book, a cup of tea and a view of the garden!
Lieve groet,

Hello Carolyn
Isn't it nice that we can trade furnishings with our daughters? I've actually not had to trade but was given some nice items.
I noticed you painted the hardware on your armoire too; when we redid the little china cabinet in the kitchen, I left the hinges and knobs black but now I'm pondering this.
You have a good eye for detail which helps make your home so cozy looking.
