Welcome to Day 2 of the 2013 Summer Tour of Homes.  Thank you to Gina from Shabby Creek Cottage for wrangling all of us creative gals and organizing this tour – it is like herding cats I tell you.  The way this tour works is you start at Shabby Creek Cottage’s home and at the bottom will be the next home to gawk at admire and so on and so forth.  At the end of the week you should be able to see 25 amazing bloggers’ homes.  Today is Day 2 and I am the first stop on this tour.  So let’s get this ball rolling…

BH&G Dining Room with text

Just because a dining area is part of the kitchen doesn’t mean it can’t be as pretty as a separate, formal dining room.  Casual doesn’t automatically mean frumpy or boring!  I found proof of that in this inspiration photo from Better Homes & Gardens.  I challenged myself to find 5 DIY projects to recreate this look.
