Dining Room Reveal

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my dining room inspiration. I know that I promised I was going to write THIS post shortly after, but my to-do got longer then I could keep up with and I had to take a few steps back and slow down...trying to focus more of my attention on wedding planning! That's an okay excuse though right? Better later then never!

One of the things I love most about our new home is the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is much bigger then anything we've shared together in the past and is one of the most important rooms to us. So I think we both agree that we lucked up!

As an engaged couple we've registered for a handful of kitchen items and have started to receive quite a few that we're really excited about. For instance, our knife set, toaster oven, spice rack and flatware have all been put to good use already. But because I've never had this much counter space, I have no idea how I want to arrange things on it. Do you guys have any ideas that you'd be willing to share with me? Of course I have some inspiration but sometimes accomplishing those "looks" yourself seems kind of impossible. Can you relate?

Of course I had to throw in a random photo of Miller enjoying the sunshine. These past few days in Charlotte have been filled with nothing but clouds and rain and it's been pretty depressing. I'm so ready for more consistent summer weather and I think Miller is too! 

One Kings Lane Reflect Your Style Campaign

One Kings Lane Reflect Your Style Campaign by mscheek

One Kings Lane has been one of my favorite online home decor retailers for over a year now, offering unique pieces that can add life to any room and furniture that make great statement pieces. Last week, One Kings Lane reached out to me to participate in their Reflect Your Style campaign and I was excited to find out that the challenge was to design a vanity space centered around a statement mirror that I choose from a handful of other options.

For my vanity space, I wanted to create an area that was clean, simple, and had at least one fun accent piece like this chair. Something about the color and print combo of the chair drew me in and I really want it now! But back to the vanity itself...I personally haven't seen many table options that I love, so I decided to take two separate corner tables, put them together and create something that would work for me.

I also like to get my makeup and appliances out of view so I would most always have them stored away. However, I am all for having my bottles of perfume out for viewing along with a fresh vase of flowers and a lipstick or two. It is a vanity after all :) And helloooo! Check out the mirror! What girly girl wouldn't love the gold coloring and delicate bow detail? I'm swooning!

What kind of space do you like to get ready in? Be sure to check out the Home Decor Resource Guide and other options for wall mirrors that are just as stylish as the one I choose for some inspiration!
