Create a Restaurant Worthy Dining Space
Much of the country is enforcing more stringent gathering rules as the virus gains momentum. Indoor dining is not allowed where I live and I sure to miss it. So why not create a restaurant worthy dining space to enjoy some home cooked meals for the time being?

I’ve chosen smaller dining nooks for today’s post because in my house, it’s just hubby and me. To add a little ambiance – whether your dining room is large or small, add a pretty tablecloth like this white chenille beauty. I’ve been known to use blankets, throws, and even curtains for table cloths. Let your imagination run free!

Consider swapping out existing lighting for a new look. I’m looking for a new pendant light for my breakfast nook. I decided my black one isn’t quite right for the space.

Create a restaurant worthy dining space with cloth slip covers for your chairs. These are easy to throw in the wash if you happen to spill and the room looks soft and feminine with them.
