One of the rooms that's almost complete but not quite complete is our dining room. We still need a new chandelier (we just have the builders fixture right now), drapery, and perhaps later on some paint or wallpaper. Below is my inspiration board for the space including look-a-likes for items I already have. I love the mix of traditional, formal, casual (the tray and pillows), and of course my favorite blue and white colors.

In our dining room right now, we're using our dining table we purchased from Bassett about 8 years ago. I think eventually I'd like a something that compliments the buffet better. We have a beautiful antique buffet, similar to the one above that I bought second hand. On top of the buffet we're using my grandmothers alabaster lamp bases that she gave us after we got married. She bought them in the mid 1960's and they're such a treasure to have! I do need new lamp shades on them and really want the ones blue and white pleated ones shown.
I found my gilt bow mirror on Facebook marketplace a couple of years ago and the matching sconces on Etsy from 2 different sellers. The tea set and candlesticks also on the buffet were passed down from my aunt before she passed away and have a lot of sentimental value. I found the grasscloth runner from Crate and Barrel and love it!
My blue plate wall is a collection of plates from various places including antique stores, discount stores, and Replacements, Inc. My favorite place to source plates is Replacements, Inc. You can find just about anything there!
