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

Some much needed family fun!

It's been a bit hectic the last few days! We got up and went to church Sunday morning for the first time at a new church. The pastor was so funny and made a new church less scary for me! Then Charlotte went to Mimi's for a few hours and Scott and I ran a few errands, cleaned out the truck, and went to the pool hall to play a few rounds before going to get her. I don't know what it is about the pool hall but it always is a place we enjoy going, without baby of course! After we picked Charlotte up, we went home and relaxed for a few hours and watched tv and played COD:ghosts!( Another one of our couple things) Then I packed a bag for Charlotte, did Scott's laundry, and cleaned up the house. Finally I packed my bag. Why am I packing bags and cleaning up the house you ask? Well, Charlotte and I are with Scott this week going to Florida. We are going down to the gulf coast for a little sun, surf, and family time, and Scott has to work a day down there as well! Then we ar...

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! ...

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday Ya'll!  I don't know about ya'll but daylight savings is completely throwing me off! With it being daylight at 7:30 last night to it being pitch black taking Char to school this morning my body clock is off, but only a little since I am up at all hours with a new baby!  Three weeks ago we welcomed our newest little, and even though I am exhausted I am enjoying the cuddles and snuggles from our newest little guy! We are slowly getting into a routine, and the oldest two are still enjoying little Skyler still so that is always a positive sign! I for sure though Ri was going to lose it because he doesn't have mommy all to himself, but all the messes and cartoons are helping him through it! Plus I am starting to be able to spend some time with Ri once Skyler has eaten and can be put down! This weekend was a good one! I got to have some one-on-one time with my girl, and got to spend some time cleaning up my house a little, and Scott made some delic...
