Ahh…  Home Sweet Home…

{See this room with some updated Simple White Curtains!}

Breakfast-Room

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day…

Oranges on the Breakfast Table

So, if it’s so incredibly important… I mean, if you really, honest-to-goodness need those carbs from that Cinnamon Toast Crunch…

Hand-Painted Table

Then shouldn’t you eat it on a vintage, hand painted table? 

Handpainted Table

One with lots of gorgeous curves… like you?

Pedestal Table

And shouldn’t the chairs be so unique that you would drive around searching in every thrift, antique and vintage store for miles around?

Just to find ones that {hopefully} nobody else has?

Lovely Breakfast Chari

Knowing that with a little care and some new fabric, they’d become a bright spot, awakening your each morning with a happy start?

Breakfast Chair

And with a name like “Disco”, this fabric certainly make you want to ease on down the road and shake that groove thang, huh?

Disco Fabric

The best fabric in the world {apparently} for cat-napping… This one’s a keeper, I tell ya…

Cookie at the Table

And this photo-bombing blue-eyed sunshine is, too…

Brendan Photo Bomb

I think I’ll hang on to this XBox X-pert a little while longer, as well…

Morgan playing Xbox

This mongrel?  Hmmm… I’ll have to think about that for a second…

Monter Dog Photobomb

Some things are functional… but not forever…

Curtain Rod with beaded curtains

Some things are fun… but not very functional…

That’s ok.  These little mirrors may not do anyone any service, but they are a happy trio…

Little Mirrors in the Breakfast Room

 

And they are right at home perched atop our White-Board Crayon Stenciled Wall…  A fluke, but it too, a keeper!

Inside the pantry,  minus two shelves, add one small freezer…

It’s GRRRRRRREAT!

Pantry Closet

Should I confess that this Breakfast room might actually be my favorite spot here in my Home Sweet Home?

Breakfast Room 4

Or should I confess that rather than eating breakfast here…

It’s really, hands down, by far the best dumping spot we have?

Do you have a spot that is your favorite dumping ground?

UPDATE: See how this space looks with the new, white IKEA Curtains!

    What a great breakfast area Gwen. I love the stenciled walls and the table fits in perfectly!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:46 pm

      Thank you, Eileen! It’s a small space, but it makes me smile!

  2. Janel from NellieBellie says

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:47 pm

      Thanks, Janellie! Now, I just need to work on the chairs so they don’t send us smashing to the ground someday!

  3. cassie says

    Mar 18 at 8:55 am

    beautiful! those soft stenciled walls are my favorite!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:48 pm

      Thanks, Cassie! I am glad i kept them…i almost washed it off to start over with paint. But Now, I’m really happy with it!

  4. Lynn, your fav roomie ever says

    Mar 18 at 9:25 am

    lovies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dining/breakfast nook table is the same blue, all over…and my chairs are covered in a verra similar fabric. Funny, no?

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:49 pm

      hahaha! You crack meup,girlie!!!

      I want to see a picture. Email it to me!

  5. Tina says

    Mar 18 at 9:27 am

    Your room looks so peaceful and quiet. Are you laughing?
    Love that wall so much!
    I’ll take a bowl of Frosted Flakes, please. 🙂

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:50 pm

      um…yes. Nothing is quiet and peaceful in this house!!!

      I’m tots craving a bowl of FF!!! argh.

  6. Bliss says

    Mar 18 at 10:16 am

    The curves on that table look better than mine but I do have a chunky center stump like that. And dumping grounds? Any flat surface is fair territory here, but Brawn doesn’t play fair – he also makes high areas a dumping ground, ones over my head because he’s tall. I guess he thinks I won’t see the mess that way.

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:51 pm

      Oh,Merciness!!! I do, too!!! I hadn’t thought to look up high, but I’m pretty tall, so I don’t think Morgan has that option!

  7. Dona says

    Mar 18 at 10:17 am

    Oh, girl…….this would be my favorite space, too! Freezer in the pantry? BRILLIANT! I remember when you did the walls….still looking for the perfect wall in my house to do….but I don’t remember the table. Did you do that???? How? Where’s the post? INCREDIBLE!

    And by the way….what ever happened to the space behind your closet….where you put the hole in your wall and found? I’m still looking for a wall in my house to do that to, too!!!!!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 9:53 pm

      Thank you so much, Dona!

      The table was pretty early on, I think… here’s the link to that crazy post!
      https://www.theboldabode.com/2011/10/return-of-stranger-and-her-table.html

      The secret storage area is behind the coat closed in my entry way! It’s awesome… Hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to rip it all out and make a real closet out of it!!!

  8. Heather says

    Mar 18 at 10:28 am

    Beautiful room Gwen – love the handpainted table – so pretty!! <3

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:53 pm

      Thanks so much, Heather! 🙂

  9. Courtenay says

    Mar 18 at 11:04 am

    Gwen, why is your whole home so darn dreamy? I can’t get over every single room! I especially love the secret freezer tucked away in the closet. Sneaky storage is the name of the game around here too!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:55 pm

      You are too sweet, Courtenay!!!

      That freezer has been a dream come true! I’m not searching for dinner at the last minute anymore! Secret storage is awesome, yo.

  10. Jacque says

    Mar 18 at 11:36 am

    What a pretty room, that wall treatment is awesome!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:55 pm

      Thank you, Jacque! It wasn’t quick, but WAY easier than using paint!

  11. Jessi @ Practically Functional says

    Mar 18 at 3:20 pm

    Our entire apartment is a dumping ground, it’s horrible! I’m loving your walls!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:56 pm

      Thanks, Jessi! Good grief! It never ends, does it?

  12. keri @ shaken together says

    Mar 18 at 5:35 pm

    Pretty stenciled wall and LOVE your table!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:57 pm

      Thank you, Keri! 🙂

  13. Vanessa says

    Mar 18 at 6:25 pm

    What a peaceful area for a nice cup of tea in the morning!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:58 pm

      I think I might actually do that someday! If I can get up before the chaos starts!!!

  14. Laura says

    Mar 18 at 6:40 pm

    Love your table and chairs and the drapes. Cookie looks happy with everything. How about hotshot? You are amazing! Mom and Dad

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 6:59 pm

      Hehehe! Oh, Hot Shot is always happy! I’ve finally figured out how to keep him off the bed! I put the vacuum in front of the door and he won’t go near it!!! 🙂

  15. Ali says

    Mar 18 at 7:42 pm

    Beautiful Gwen! I can see why you love it 🙂 Well done!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 18 at 10:01 pm

      Thank you, Ali! I hope to jazz it up a little more, soon!

      Have you seen the blog, A Beautiful Mess? OMG…

  16. Holly says

    Mar 19 at 2:17 am

    Your walls look great. The table top is a cool design, too.

    • Gwen says

      Mar 22 at 2:25 pm

      Thanks, Holly! I just love that little nook!

  17. [email protected] The Better Half says

    Mar 22 at 1:42 pm

    love that table, Gwen….and the photobomb! lol!

    • Gwen says

      Mar 22 at 2:26 pm

      Hehehe… isn’t he a cutie?

      Thanks, Jocie!

  18. Sally says

    Mar 26 at 8:18 am

    Very pretty. Yes, we too have a dumping ground. When I add the leaf to our kitchen table to enlarge it for guests, it immediately takes on an additional role of dumping ground. Not enough horizontal space in our home!!! OY.

  19. Ruth says

    Gren, I just found your site. I love your wall, and table. Will definitely try this one day. One of the comments mentioned something about a secret wall in a coat closet…I would like to see that. How do I find it and anything else you have down?
    Thank you, Ruth

    • Gwen says

      Jun 9 at 9:43 am

      I do have secret in my coat closet! I don’t think I’ve ever posted about it. Maybe I should!

      I just cut out the drywall in the closet under my stairs and have been able to store a lot of stuff there. One day, I hope to really open it up and finish it out. there would be so much more storage space if I could!

  20. Becky says

    Apr 25 at 2:19 pm

    Love the stencil! What color are your walls in that room?

    • Gwen says

      May 11 at 1:20 pm

      I think it is Moody Blue by Sherwin Williams, Becky.

      xoxo

      Gwen
