Dining room tables are one thing you might want to switch out when thinking about redecorating! If your dining room or breakfast area is looking tired and a bit outdated changing your table will give it a whole new look!

I’ve changed out quite a few dining tables! And am always so pleased with how fresh it has made my dining room look!
I’ve always updated my table first in a dining area that needed a little help! And if you still have a matchy-matchy dining room set a table is a great way to break it up and give it a fabulous new look!
There is a whole lot of decorating real estate on a table! And it is one change that will change everything in a room!
Here’s my most recent dining room table change. I loved the concrete dining room table at StoneGable so much I found a new concrete top dining table for our Tanglewood home!
It’s transitional with a farmhouse feel!
I particularly love Transitional dining room tables.
So, what is Transitional style? It’s traditional with a sleeker more updated look. And this style has a hint (sometimes a big hint) of another style mixed in with it.
Here’s a post about WHAT IS TRANSITIONAL STYLE AND HOW TO GET IT!
Transitional dining room tables work with so many styles that’s what makes them so popular!
Here are a few tables we’ve had in our homes had …
Think about updating dining room tables with one that adds a whole new look to your dining room!

HOW TO KNOW YOUR DECORATING STYLE might help you define your style!
I have a one hundred year old rope bed made by my grandfather. It is a 3/4 size bed. We need a queen size bed for the room. I want to use the beautiful wood in the frame for something. Maybe a dining room table or console? My heart won’t let me throw it out. Wondering what you would do.
Hi Deb! That sounds so so pretty! Yes, use that wonderful bed for something. How about a big porch swing/bed!
Thank you for your response! I will work on it. Some may think I am too sentimental about stuff. But it is a work of labor and I appreciate its history.
Did you make a decision on the curtain issue? It may not be the curtains, but the rods. That is what my eyes are directed to on the pictures. Try white rods and rings or hide the rods behind the curtains somehow.
Yes, Carol I have made a decision. I’ll post about it soon. One of the reasons your eye goes directly to the rod is because I called attention to it. In my sunroom I have the same rod situation but no one has said one thing. What we call attention to we give our attention to! Fun little tidbit!
The sunroom has way less rings hanging on the rod – much softer looking hardware even if it may be the same thing it does not carry the same look in each room. However, you sure proved it is in the eye of the beholder with all the comments! 🙂
You just seem to answer questions I’ve been wanting to ask and haven’t!! I enjoy your posts sooo much!! Thank you!!
THANKS, Laura! I’m so glad!
I still have my oval oak table from the 90s and my son thinks I need to update it. However what I like is that while it seats six comfortably, in a pinch I can squeeze in eight because if doesn’t have the sharp corners of a rectangle shaped table. I have though, updated the chairs three times.
Have you thought of refinishing or painting your table?
I’ve considered painting the pedestal and apron in the past but maybe need to revisit that idea again. Thanks for the reply.
My kitchen/dining area table was purchased in the mid 70’s for $175. At that time, I felt that we paid top dollar for it. I had wanted an antique, round, solid oak pedestal table. Consequently, it was worth it to us. It sits 6 comfortably, as does Christine’s, and with 2 leaves, can squeeze in 8. We purchased new oak chairs in the 90’s, and they still serve us, with occasional re-gluing. Would like to paint/stain the chairs, but not sure whether to go black or light. From what I have learned from you, Yvonne, my decor style is transitional. Every few years, we lightly sand and re-poly the tabletop.
Painting your chairs will definitely change the look. My daughter painted her’s black and it is very sharp. It updated an old set to suit a young family. I would only paint them black if you have touches of black elsewhere – curtain rods or such.
I have read the tutorial on the front door “hello.” vinyl decal. Could you tell me where you purchased the decal? I have been looking, but have not found it.
Thanks,
Mary

Everything looks so pretty! Do you mind sharing the source for the light over your table? It’s exactly what I have in mind for my kitchen. Thank you!
Here you go, Janice: https://rstyle.me/+67_wHQ2Aq_JeHP-ZWuUmWg
Where did you get your wood bowl or wood planter you had on your table? I have not been able to find one anywhere? Thanks, Jean Miller
Hi Deloris, I found it locally. Sorry, I don’t have a source.
Is this your table, Yvonne?

Yes, it is. This table is so beautiful! And nothing hurts the top of it!
Hi Yvonne, have you, by chance decided on your new dining room table yet? I am in the market for one, along with chairs, and I keep watching for any word from you. Thank you!
Yes, I did. I opted for a round dining table by Ethan Allen. It’s won’t be here until February.
