25 Days of Home Decor Gifts: The Dining Room

The dining room gets a lot of love during the holidays as family gathers for delicious meals, desserts and conversation, so what better gift than to give your favorite hostess some new dining room decor? Here's my picks for some gift worthy dining room items.  Be sure to check back daily for more home decor gift ideas.

CENBOSS  Woven Placemats - These placements are durable, well made, and will add beautiful texture to any place setting. The mats come in 3 different size options to meet individual needs. The place mats would also be great for utilizing as woven trivets in the kitchen.  

Stone Lain Coupe Dinnerware Set - This dinnerware set is awesome!  Durable and generous in size, these beautiful plates are the perfect gift for new and old home owners alike!

Berglander 20 Piece Titanium Black And Golden Plated Flatware Set - How gorgeous is this flatware?!  I don't own these, but they are on my wish list - hint hint!  The reviews are great one these, so I might be buying myself a gift!

Roostery Cloth Cocktail Napkins - I love colorful napkins to dress up a place setting and these are spectacular.  It's one of those things that aren't normally a self splurge which is what makes it all the more giftable. How stoked would you be to get these as a gift?  

Dumpster Dive Dining Room

This is where we dine.”The dining room table was a dumpster dive find found by my partner’s mother - hence the missing chair! But it’s a Pottery Barn table, so still a score! Originally it was all dark wood, but we sanded and re-stained the top to give it an updated look. The only issue is that it’s not big enough to accommodate our blended family of 7, so we are considering trying to find a leaf (also not found in the dumpster dive), make a leaf, or just make a bench for one side. Making a bench would likely be the easiest choice. But for now when all the kids are here, we let them take over the dining room, and we eat quietly in the kitchen. I actually rather like that arrangement!

Salvaged Table

My boyfriend’s mom salvaged this Pottery Barn table from the trash a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it came missing some chairs and the leaf insert. It was originally the dark stain color on the legs until this past summer when we sanded and re-stained the table top. It’s quite nice now! However, we are still short two chairs and the space we need. Debating adding a bench to one side, but with FIVE kids wondering if a bench is comfortable enough seating and if the three kids that get stuck there will complain. Anyone want to weigh in?! I have never gone the dining bench route.
