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

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and doing Show and Tell Tuesday!  Today it is all about how to win your heart!  In the four years I have known Scott he has always known how to make my heart go pitter patter! Whether he is sitting with our children and playing and laughing with them, or on a pizza date where we both look awful because it is so spur of the moment because the kids went to Mimi's for the first time in a couple months we rush out so fast without showers, he knows how to speak to my heart!  Scott and I will be married three years this coming June and in those three years we have been married he goes above and beyond with speaking to my heart! Whether it is a random coffee or energy drink that he brings me while I'm chasing the kiddos, or just telling me to go to the bookstore and read a few magazines, I got the kids for a couple hours, it is those things that win me over day after day! What is different about our lo...

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday! I wont lie, today is a lot like my dish towel says: We had all the plans to go exploring and do something productive this weekend, but I only managed to clean the entire kitchen on Friday afternoon while the babies were napping! Here is a a bit of our weekend:  Friday morning started out with two monkeys jumping on the bed bright and early!  I love how they wake up so happy in the morning Riley got his 15 month shots on Thursday so I was fully expecting a grump and a half and got a very happy smiley baby boy instead!  We practiced blowing kisses We snuggled and we ran around with our backpack of toys Mommy did not unpack from the doctor's visit.  Saturday we spent lots of time snuggling on the couch, napping, and watching cartoons and just relaxing before hitting up the grocery store for a big trip. We got home late enough it was a sandwich for dinner kind of night.  Sunday we had plans to go out and ab...

Weekend Recap on a Tuesday! :)

So I was trying to get this posted yesterday but the littles decided they wanted to test Mommy yesterday and not allow me to get anything done. By the time both kids were in bed for the night I was so tired I just went straight to bed instead of having some "me" time. This weekend started out running errands and going to the park! We haven't been to the park since August when I was put on bedrest! Our newest park member! She learned to climb the slide from her Aunt. She watched her climb up and just had to do it herself The park can be exhausting for little boys!  Scott got home late, late Friday night like 12:30 am and we went straight to bed because he had to be up and out the door for a class at 9 am. He was gone until 4:30 and as soon as he got home Charlotte would not leave his lap! Even with baby Riley sitting there. We watched football all day, and even late into the night, since Saturday is devoted to college football! The ...
