Look at these cuties that showed up in the dining room.....and they brought their own food. They sit on the side board along with a pair of peacock lamps.
And here is a close up of one of the peacocks that just jumped in my cart at HomeGoods a few weeks ago.
On the other side of the room I have a Chocolate Table. Back in the day when chocolate was very expensive wealthy families would display their chocolate inside the table as a show of wealth. No choclate in mine...but I do have some things that are special to me.
On top of the Chocolate table is a thrifted owl, a pumkin and an acrylic lamp with some bling. This corner can be dark, so I needed to add some lighter items.
On the only large wall in the room I have a large mirror, flower prints and sconces.
I am on the look at for a rug for this room and some different sconces The room will stay like this till thanksgiving. Then she will be dressed for Christmas. Thanks for stopping by to have a look. I almost have the living room completed.
Make it an amazing day. I am joining Ann as she guest host Open House while Sherry is away. And Kate at Flaunt it Friday.

I love the chocolate table! The shape is wonderful and the history is fascinating!
I also love the acorns! They look like they've each been waxed. Gorgeous.

You have beautiful furniture...and a lovely dinning room. Trish
Hey Toni,
I just found out how to make history a bit more interesting ... combine it with chocolate, a la chocolate table! Seriously, I love the history of home life, and I have a feeling you know a lot about that growing up in Charleston. Side note: my table would always be empty because I'd eat the chocolate :)
And I love those peacock lamps!
Can't wait to see the finished flooring in the living room.

What a lovely room...thank you so much for sharing and coming to the Open House party! The peacocks are wonderful too.
I love your diningroom. Your table and chairs are stunning and the room is just beautiful. Love the painting also, so precious. I didn't know the history of the chocolate table, but I love it. What a great piece. Your new peacock lamps are great finds also. Perfect in your room and I love great and unusual lamps. These are keepers. Thanks also for the visit and such gracious comments. Hugs, Marty
