Welcome to Dining Room Tid Bits with Guest Blogger Linsey from The Farm House Porch

I am so excited to introduce you to Linsey from The Farmhouse Porch! I just love her style and her blog and I know you will too!

Howdy Readers! And Howdy to Karin of The Style Sisters blog!

Thank you so much for allowing me to come share a few thoughts and photos today with all of your followers.

My name is Linsey and you can find me over at The Farmhouse Porch I am so glad I was asked to talk about my dining room because it is one of the rooms in which I spend the most time. You’re probably scratching your head right about now, wondering if we eat 3 formal meals a day in here, royal family style. I’m ashamed to admit that we rarely eat in here. This room has become my “Display Cool stuff and do crafts at the big farm table” room.

My dining room is located just under the loft, right in the middle of all of the action in our house. So from here I can do what moms do best…multitask. I can monitor the kids fighting, smell the dinner burning, and here the puppy ripping up my country living magazine…all while I blissfully craft away (or fold laundry, or paint…).

I like modern farmhouse style. I love chippy painted wood and crusty zinc-y metal. Linen and rustic fabrics. Beat up baskets and tea stained dishes.

And Jadeite!

I just can’t get enough! This is my old apple crate in the other corner. And I’m constantly shakin’ things up in here. Every time I post pictures of my dining room things are different. It’s my vintage playground. Thanks for coming to play!

I’d be delighted to have you stop by my blog and Etsy shop too…HERE

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

Next It is Punkin making time! »

I'm loving that hutch. I did mine black and every time I see a pretty white hutch I am regretting that decision. Looks great with all of the white-ware.
