If you've been watching my Snapchat or paying attention to my Instagram you've seen quite a few sneak peeks of the new house...especially the dining room.

In case you couldn't tell from my last post about brass lighting, I want to move sooooo badly. My brain has been on home decor overload (presently dining room interior design ideas have been top of mind), and I have the storage room to show for it...insert monkey covering its eyes emoji.

In fact, a large part of me wanted to take a sledgehammer to it. But rath[...]
