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

Show and Tell Tuesday! House Tour 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday! Today it is House Tour! I have always loved these posts, but have never participated in one because of the fact that we were in a two bedroom apartment, which was tiny for our family of four. This past April we bought our home and moved in and three months later we are finally here at this post and I am so excited to join along and invite you all into our home! It is still a work in progress and none of the walls have been re-painted but I am loving all the grey tones for now, it keeps the home neutral and cool until I feel like spicing things up! Come on in!  We are still decorated from Fourth of July, but here is the front entrance.  When you walk into our home this is the first thing you see. There is a hallway to the left of the staircase, and to the right is the dining room. This is our formal dining room! I need to do an updated tour of this room but for now I b...

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday Ya'll!  I am so glad it is Friday! It has been. rough week for this momma, the kiddos have been loud and crazy but have been so good this week but everything else is just super crazy haha!  Today I am linking up for Friday Favorites with Narci , Andrea and Erika !  So here are some random favorites that happened this week! Cuddles with this sweet boy have been a favorite this week! I have been having on and off contractions and lots of pain so I have been bed ridden for a good portion of the week and this little has hung out with me and watched cartoons! Cuddles are definitely a favorite!    Trying to let this boy in the house more and more since its been chilly outside.  While the training process has been rough, he has started to snooze in the afternoons and those are definitely a favorite!  Breakfast conversations with these two are a favorite from this week! It is always non-stop with these t...

2019 Year In Review: Part 3

Hello!  It is such a hard time in the world right now. It has been a couple months since I last wrote, life has been busy, but while everyone is social distancing, staying home, and doing our part to get rid of this nasty virus I wanted to post some memories of last year to remember. October-December of 2019 were packed full of activities, and just going through the pictures is exhausting, so I have no idea how I even kept up! Grab a drink, and cozy up and I hope you enjoy! October  October started out with birthday naps. All three kiddos are in the same room, and I was laying on the bed with Skyler and we all napped and was just what this momma needed for her birthday!  Hubby brought me the most beautiful flowers for my day and we got booed, by a mystery neighbor Naps were had, especially in mommy's arms  and all of the kindergarten crafts occurred. We painted a pumpkin after her favorite book character Ferdinand.  Quick f...
