Closet Decorator: Mint and Floral Breakfast Nook

Eating areas are highly neglected in the decor department. Plunk down a table and chairs and call it a day.  Such a lost opportunity. I don't know about you but I spend a lot of time around our table; eating (I know-strange, right?), crafting, game playing, visiting, blogging. It may as well be a nice place to spend time.

This is the outfit I chose for some inspiration today...


A girl wearing this outfit obviously has no problem with trends- she's rocking a bold sheer floral top with hits of mint and gold. This is a casual outfit- jeans and flip flops- and anyone rocking a bold print on a casual day is confident in there fashion choices. With that in mind I decided to put together a space that features a few fun decor trends- curtains with ball fringe a chalkboard wall and bold florals.

Here's a pic of that gorgeous Anthropologie rug, not cropped up...

With chalkboard walls don't be afraid to hang art/photographs on them...


If a rug is too impractical for your eating area you could bring in a bold floral  through your dishes...

Or if you have a banquette a couple of these pillows from Indigo would be an easy way to incorporate this trend...

These pillows are gorgeous and the colors are super saturated in person. Once they go on 50% off I may have to make them mine- when Trent's not looking of course (for some reason florals aren't his thing).

Whatever you decide- your dining area should be a space you love to hang out in and don't be afraid to express your personality!
