Two weeks ago, the babe slept through the night for the first time and I woke up the next morning suddenly raging to get back to decorating our apartment. So, here is a WIP shot of the dinning room, which is looking less sad these days (see the sadness here). I bought the CB2 lamp (thanks for the encouragement), moved the citrus tree, and since is usually just Tim and me eating dinner at the table, I put some of my favorite design books as our dinner guests. This image below was my inspiration for the books-on-the-table idea.
If you know where this image came from, remind me and I’ll link to it! Thanks to reader Dean, this is architect Gil Shafer’s house Ho Me decorated by Miles Reed.

i like the books on the table idea. cute!
Abbey! I love those SNAILS!
It’s looking great. I have books on my tables, too – they are the perfect dining companions. Quiet, entertaining when you want them to be, and never messy.
I like the purposeful books on table!
Our books on table are mounding, which is much less nice. They must be weeded. STAT.
it looks so beuatiufl!!!! i love the books on the table and the lamp and the bar!
i love it! i’m so glad you went with that lamp!!
This is looking amazing! The books on the table are a great idea, the snails are the perfect finishing touch. BTW I love your bar cart and bentwood chairs.
I absolutely love that lamp and orchid and how they repeat each other’s curves!!!
You are so cute, I can hardly take it…I love that there are books in place of peeps at the table!
Congrats on the sleep! I love the snails and where your place is going as a whole, design-wise. It looks fab! These wall stickers popped into mind when I saw the pic – they would look adorable on your white wall is a nice clean slate for them:
