Spring Dining Room
French farmhouse spring dining room with soft colors, chinoiserie, and budget finds for a simple, yet elegant look for a casual dinner.
Spring is certainly in the air here in the south. I've even started to sneeze quite frequently to ring in the season!
You will find a complete source list of like and similar items at the bottom of this post in the SHOP THE LOOK section.
Spring Dining Room
I love spring! The new buds on the trees, the flurry of bird activity, and the whisper of warm days for the hint that outdoor living will soon be upon us.
This tour is always fabulous. My friend, Marty, from A Stroll Thru Life organizes it for use 4 times per year. It's a large undertaking and she does it so efficiently and with grace.
I find the tour so enjoyable because there is a little something for everyone with the eclectic nature. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Welcome if you are stopping by from Citrine Living. I love her gorgeous home with all the blue and white.
You'll find a complete tour list at the end of the post!
We finally had this armoire moved into the dining room last fall. This is our first spring with it. I absolutely love it in this space. It was worth the work, the wait, and the major expense to bring this family heirloom back to glory.
It's still not quite complete. I've got a few new pine replacement pieces that need staining. If you look closely at the bottom, you can tell. I also plan on waxing it to give it a good seal. Thinking of white wax. I've just got to find the time.
The table used to face in the opposite direction, but we repositioned it to accommodate the armoire.
The rug was a vintage $100 find on Ebay years ago.
Our small town is moving up in the world. We just got our very own Homegoods, and it is amazing! They had some great finds.
I came home with a pair of darling rabbit statues and this gorgeous runner!
Aren't they adorable!
I'm really kicking myself for not buying the blue version of this runner. They also had matching placemats.
I did pick up these really inexpensive placemats. I love them and their delicate pattern. I've linked them below in the SHOP THE POST section.
I'll be sharing the how-to on these little bunnies next week.
HINT: The bunnies didn't come like this and were $1 each!
I adore all things blue and white. Spring was the perfect time to break out my grandmother's pink depression glass plates.
You will be seeing a lot of this runner. I am totally smitten with it!
The simple greenery wreaths are leftover from Christmas. I left them up beyond. I'm on the hunt for something more light and airy to carry me through the fall.
The space used to be so much darker and formal. The lighter, casual look has us dining in here much more!
I am so close to finishing up the white trim work here. If you look closely, you will see that I still have to complete the two built-ins as well as the French door. It's almost done! It's just so time-consuming.
Here is a sneak peek at the family room! I love our new rug, and you are getting the first look. I literally just laid it down 2 days ago. I LOVE it and it's on sale!
Be sure to check out the post on this console table. It is part of a fun Pinterest Challenge where a group of us completed our own version! We do this challenge monthly!
I'll be sharing more of our spring home very soon, so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a post!

Wow, so beautiful! That armoire is absolutely amazing and the showpiece of the room. I so enjoyed your tour! Happy Spring!

Thanks so very much, Amy! Yes, that armoire is a total treasure. It was so worth the long wait of it taking up the garage and the painstaking hours of paint removal.
Beautiful spring tour Christy! And I agree with Laura, I love that table runner so so much
Thanks so much! I wish I could find that runner online. I want it in every color and pillow! LOL! One of those things that I regret not buying the other color pattern when I saw it.
Christy your dining room is truly exquisite! So elegant, as is your whole home. I’m always so inspired when I read your posts! Happy Spring!
Thanks so very much, Tamara! It’s quickly become a favorite room in the house!
Your dining room is stunning. I love that chandelier and the armoire is so beautiful, perfect for that space. Of course you know how much I love your family room, that is where I would spend most of my time. So welcoming and inviting. Thanks so much for joining the tour again this season, always fun to have you share your home.
Thanks so much, Marty! Yes, I love relaxing in the family room. It’s a cozy space for sure. I really love our season tours. It really inspires me to spice up our home. Thanks so much for your hard work organizing.
I am totally obsessed with your armoire – It’s gorgeous! Love that table runner too and the two cute bunnies – beautiful! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks so very much! The dining room has become a favorite spot to decorate.
That is indeed a gorgeous runner! I adore the blue and white pillows in the living room. A truly gorgeous tour!
Thanks so much, Laura! I am loving all things blue and white these days!
I just love your coffee table. Could you share where you got it?
Thanks so very much! It is from Southwood furniture. We purchased about 16 years ago. It’s a great coffee table. Sadly, I do not think this company is around anymore. I need to search and find an alternative because I get asked about it a lot. It’s such a classic style.
