Lemon Tree Living

I have been thinking and dreaming about a refresh to our dining room since the fall of last year when we completed the vestibule board and batten and wallpaper project and ever since then all I can see is that board and batten on the wall in the dining room.

I did a AI rendering of what the dining room would look like to try to convince Michael!!

He has finally agreed that we can do it, but have to wait until the fall, after we complete our basement project that we’re working on right now

I envision blue China gallery on the wall and have been scouring thrift stores and marketplace, looking for plates and platters to use.

My mother and father -in-law are moving into a condo and she and her husband gifted us this very beautiful French provincial scalloped edged table and four chairs that I think are going to look absolutely fantastic.

I’m going to reupholster the seats and then I have a vision in my head parson chairs with a slip cover on each end.

I believe in slow purposeful decorating taking my time collecting vintage items.

I just keep thinking about that TikTok audio where the girl goes it’s time!

Spring has just been so cold but we are expecting temperatures up to 30° this weekend in Windsor Ontario and it being long Victoria Day weekend, I am planting no matter the temperature

I’m doing a lot of planters this year more than I usually do, but thankfully, I was gifted to cast iron urns from my mother-in-law, along with an amazing birdbath and I have a lovely cement urn that came from Micheal’s brother last year.

I have planned out and laid out where everything is going but I have so much to do, but I think I can do at least 90% of it.

I’m gonna work my butt off and it’s gonna look so fantastic!!!
