Hey friends! Summer is coming to an end soon, so I gave it one last hurrah in our dining room before I switch over to fall decor. It’s my contribution to the Summer Celebration Blog Hop hosted by Amber at Follow The Yellow Brick Home!
If you’re coming over from Country Road 407, isn’t Cindy’s summer bedroom refresh gorgeous?
My sunflowers are on their last blooms right now, but my zinnias are at full peak (that’s one advantage to planting them late). Both work nicely for adding a little pop of color in our dining room.
This hutch remains one of my favorite makeovers. I love the open shelving as it makes it easy to display decor.
Can you tell I have a thing for scales?
I really love how my zinnias look this year! I have a bunch growing that are yellow, orange and red – perfect for fall decorating!
I made over this dining room set a while back and as much as I love the results, I don’t know if I’ll ever tackle a dining room set makeover again. Painting all those chair spindles is a lot of work!
Would you believe that before this was a cabinet in the corner of our dining room, my late father used it as a ammo reloader. He was an avid hunter and reloaded his own shotgun shells. It was collecting dust in my mom’s garage before I pulled it out and gave it a makeover.
Do you like my tiered tray? I’m sharing some tiered tray styling tips later in the week so be sure to stop back by!
Next up on the hop is Judith over at Botanic Bleu. You will swoon over her eye-popping lavender table setting!
Here is the complete lineup for the hop!
Thanks so much for stopping by friends!
This is adorable. Your collection of white dishes is amazing. I love the cute chickens and that Ice Cream sign. It’s all so cute.
Thanks so much Katie!
I love all these different layers of farmhouse goodness Michelle! Your sunflowers and zinnias are amazing. I’ve never tried to grow those before but I love the pops of color they add to your beautiful dining room. I’m definitely going to add them to my list! Hugs, CoCo
Thanks so much CoCo! I love zinnias and sunflowers because they’re so pretty but also they’re super easy to grow where I live 🙂
Your dining room is gorgeous. I love how bright and cheery it is and that hutch is truly a fabulous piece. Love all the ironstone and yes I love those scales too. Beautifully displayed.
Thank you so much Marty! 🙂
Your tiered trays are always so charming! Loving your zinnias and sunflowers too! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thanks so much Cecilia! 🙂
Your dining room is so welcoming. The zinnias are beautiful! It must be a joy to be able to cut them and bring them in for a pop of color whenever you like!
Thank you so much Chloe! 🙂 I do love my zinnias!
I LOVE this dining room Michelle, I think we have the same French Country Chandy. It’s perfect for your space! The Zinnias and Sunflowers are gorgeous, I need to start the larger Zinnias from seed next year, because you can only get the smaller ones here at the garden centers. Love the wonderful colors mixed in with your amazing white ironstone and scales. Plus all the great vintage pieces! Happy rest of Summer!
Thanks so much Debra! I just love my chandy – we both have great taste! 🙂 I always start my zinnias from seed because I can’t ever hardly find them in my local garden centers. But they are super easy to grow from seed. And the best part? You can save the seeds from the flowers and grow them again next year! Happy rest of the summer to you as well!
Michelle, Your summer zinniaz and sunflowers are beautiful. We have a few white zinnias in a spot we only plant white flowers, but the Texas heat is taking a toll on them. Yours look wonderful.
Judith
Thanks so much Judith! Zinnias always do really well in my area. I should try to grow a patch of just white zinnias too – they’d be perfect when I want to keep my decor all neutral. Have a wonderful rest of your summer! 🙂
Scales, ironstone and zinnias are all favorites of mine. Your dining room is truly lovely Michelle. You have the magic touch with vintage pieces I have no doubt! Pinning for lots of inspiration.
Awe thanks so much Michelle! 🙂
Michelle, can I just come live there with you or a while? I see so many things that make me smile. I would love to sit and chat about where you got them. I simply adore your style and home. It’s so stinkin’ cute!
And I’m so glad I got to see the amazing transformation of the hutch. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Awe thanks so much Cindy! 🙂 If you’re ever in the Nor Cal area, feel free to stop on by! 🙂 And I’m happy you enjoyed my hutch transformation. Have a wonderful rest of your summer!
Michelle, I loved seeing that angled shot of your dining room; totally didn’t realize it was open to your kitchen there. And didn’t realize your little coffee bar was there, either. Isn’t it funny how it’s hard to visualize other blogger’s homes, even though we’re seeing them all the time? Love your late summer colors of whites with sunflower gold and black; one of my favorite color combos, too.
Thanks so much Lora! 🙂 I don’t share that angle in our dining room much because our kitchen is well used and usually a disaster! I believe a well used kitchen is the heart of a happy home, but for blogging purposes, not so much! 🙂
So many pretty collections! I love all the white and those vintage scales! Your dining room is so summery and the tiered tray is the perfect touch!
Shelley
Thank you so much Shelley! 🙂
Michelle, your dining room looks perfect for late summer! I love your pops of colors with your blooms among the calm neutral backdrop. I could seriously snoop around at all of your lovely vintage farmhousey treasures for hours! There is just so much vintage goodness in this post! I think I must add some sunflowers to a large ironstone pitcher now for our farm table. Thanks for inspiring!
And yes, I love your adorable styled tiered tray. Can’t wait to see the post!
Thanks for celebrating summer with us!
Thanks so much Amber! 🙂 And thank you for inviting me to be part of the hop – they’re always so much fun!
Michelle your home is so pretty. I love the white dishes you have collected. Love your tier tray décor. You style everything so pretty.
Thank you so much Terrie! 🙂
Michelle, I’m so glad to meet you through this blog hop! Your home is lovely with such charming vintage details. I love the story about your late father’s cabinet. I cherish sentimental pieces like that in our home. I’ve thought about refinishing our kitchen table, but you might have convinced me not to do that…sounds like it was a lot of work, though yours turned out great!
Hi Crissy! Very nice to meet you too! I’m happy you like my vintage style – thank you so much! 🙂 The table and chairs were a ton of work (especially the chairs) but it was definitely worth it in the end. I just wished I knew how much time it would take so I could plan better, but it seems projects always take more time than what I think they will 🙂
I loved this tour of your dining room. I didn’t realize that your dining room opened to your kitchen and I’m glad that you shared that shot to help me better visualize your home. Your cabinet is lovely and I drooled over your Ironstone and your fabulous scales.
Thank you so much Paula! 🙂 I don’t share that angle in our dining room much because our kitchen is well used and usually a disaster! I believe a well used kitchen is the heart of a happy home, but for blogging purposes, not so much! 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer!
Michelle, I always love your collection of white dishes, vases and containers. I love sunflowers and they look so pretty in your white pitcher. What a graet way to display summer flowers.
Thank you so much Carol! 🙂
What a beautiful dining room! You have so many pretty items and vignettes in this space, and I love a bouquet of sunflowers! Enjoy these last weeks of Summer!
Awe thank you so much Shannon! Enjoy the last weeks of summer as well! 🙂
Michelle
Your home is lovely. I never noticed before the sweet acorn details on your hutch.
Thanks for letting us in to look around

Thank you so much Lisa! 🙂 I love my little hutch acorns!
Just love your beautiful farmhouse neutral backdrop for all of the floral pops of color. You have such wonderful collections! !
Thank you so much Christy! 🙂
Beautifully done. I got so many good ideas here to try on my own cottage home. And some antiques I need to shop for first. Thank you so much for sharing.
*Smiles*
Thanks so much Pamela! 🙂

~Emily
Thanks so much Emily! 🙂
I can absolutely appreciate the sweat and probably some tears that went behind this immaculate make over. I LOVE ALL OF IT… SO 100% my style. I spend days on one piece and speak to my other self ‘Ms Perfectionism’ and constantly attempt to rebuke her, it works about, 🤔never😇
Can we borrow you for about a month 🙏😂preferred during mental health month!
Just kidding.. Your work is over the top AMAZING
Thank you for sharing
