Wicks Home: Dining Room edition

Hello everyone!

Today I am showing you a tour of our dining room! It is almost completely done, we still want to find some curio cabinets for in here, but it is the only room that is completely together so far! 

Here are the before pictures. I took these photos when we first walked through it! It was absolutely gorgeous and we just knew it was going to be ours! 

My boys taking it all in and checking all the lights to make sure they were working! 

After a few months of biting our nails and praying we finally moved in and I did not take any pictures of moving in.  :( 
I just got a picture of all the crates and my hubby's truck! 
It was a mess, I was chasing kids and directing the hubs and his team of guys, and was just not holding my phone the whole time. So join me as we look into the dining room. 

This is the view from the front door. You walk in and see a hallway and stairs but turn right and you walk right into the dining room.

This is the view from the kitchen!

The first thing we got for this room was the rug. I may change it down the road but for what we need right now, this neutral colored tan rug is perfect! On the wall that leads into the kitchen is a mirror and two pictures. The mirror I used in college as my full length mirror to get ready in the morning and the two pictures we found at Big Lots and they fit perfectly in our home. 

The oil paintings Scott brought with him so I inherited them when we got married. They look perfect in our dining room! They hung in the living room in our apartment and they were just not in their perfect spots there. Here they look amazing and I just love how they are all so different but match perfectly at the same time! 


The blinds were the last things we got. They were just installed this past Friday and it makes a world of a difference with them installed. Those windows are right at the front of the house and I didn't like not having enough privacy, so those windows had to be covered. I struggled with the curtains or blinds idea so I went with blinds and if I want curtains I can always install them later. 

I love this chandelier so much. Not only does it match all the lighting throughout the house but it is not too big or too small. It is perfect for lighting the room.

These two signs that hang beside the mirror are absolute perfection! I love wine, and my hubby saw these and knew they had to go somewhere in our home. For 5 dollars each these were definitely worth the price


So there you have it! Our formal dining room.
 For now it sits empty. I had some roses from Mother's Day sitting on the table but have moved them into our kitchen now so that is all that has been in that room for now. Eventually, like I mentioned above, we are going to get some curio cabinets for the figurines and glass that we still have packed up. I also will probably add some curtains to the area for a pop of color. Throw a table cloth and some dishes on the table and we will be ready to entertain! I cannot wait to host Thanksgiving and Christmas in the years to come in this room! 

I hope you enjoyed a little spot of our home! We are loving having space to grow and play and this dining room is the perfect place for us to have parties and dinners, and everything else! I cannot wait to see how this room develops throughout the years! 

Have a great Wednesday! 

XOXO

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...
