White beadboard, peaches, and champagne!

I am celebrating a few things!
 The new white beadboard I installed and peaches
from our peach tree in New Hampshire.
Peaches fill the basket and the champagne is coming!
We have given away so many peaches already,
 and we couldn't pick them all.
My country style dining room has a lot of white for summery freshness.
My dinnerware is by Ralph Lauren, Boxwood pattern.
 Flatware is vintage silverplate.
Each champagne glass is different.
White eyelet placemats say summertime.
Straw hat spun with gold threads is my garden hat.
My seating has a wire garden bench
with a shabby ruffled eurosham.
The newest additions are my Rehab Boutique
 frenchy chairs with toile seats. Love.
Hydrangeas in a mason jar from my Boston garden.
Our peach tree was bending over to the ground with all its fruit.
Organic gardening at its best.
Fresh and summery,
the classic blue and white combination never is tiresome.
The large chippy blue bench is a lidded box that keeps our recyclables at bay.
Our sideboard holds the blue glass I find so appealing these days.
A secret: the beadboard is actually
wallpaper from Graham and Brown.
It looks so real, my mother-in-law touched it
and said she could not tell the difference!
A lavendar rose stands alone.
Peaches and champagne~celebrating a perfect summer.

  1. I simply adore this entire room! First that table with the glass insets. The beautiful and eclectic seating. The chippy trunk. It's just truly an out of this world room. Need to send some of these photos to a magazine.

  5. This was so summery. Looks like it could have been in Veranda magazine. I love the wire bench and the white pillow and I think the addition of the straw hat on the table says you just walked in from the garden. Fabulous!

  7. Hi Amy,

    Your room is so lovely. I've come by to pick up your blog button {again}..one slip of finger on the keyboard the other night and I wiped out several. LOL

    Hope you are doing well in this horrid heat that we all seem to be living with these days.

  8. Dear Amy,

    I love your diningroom especially your gorgeous french chairs and the beadboard ! It looks so elegant and cozy at the same time ! And its also very convenient: you don´t have to paint the whole room if someone - like me :)- has dogs and needs to paint every year...great idea !

    Have a sunny day !

  15. Everything is beautiful! I'm glad you visited and want to follow my blog. Please let me know if you still have trouble following. I wasn't aware of a problem. I'm happy to be following you and learn from you. I do have a few design questions. Do you have an email? and, it looks like you might have a Saltbox style home??? That is what we have.
    Happy to meet you.

  27. I think you landed it. That was a pretty pink but I agree the bead board is better. And you changed your window treatments, too. The blue chairs are perfect.
    Now I', hungry for a peach.

  31. Hi Amy,
    Your dining room is gorgeous! I LOVE the wire bench you have for seating...might have to borrow that idea! ;o)
    Thanks for your recent visit and your lovely comment about my kitchen. To answer your question about my white walls... yes, I did know I wanted to have them white all along. I had seen pictures of all white kitchens and entire homes in magazine and loved them, but I did worry about whether it would seem too boring and/or uninteresting. I went for it anyway and love the way it turned out.
    You have a beautiful home and blog. I LOVE your style! I'm a happy new follower.
    And I just noticed... thanks for grabbing my button. I'll do the same. ;o)
    Have a great day!
    ~ Jo :)

  32. Wonderful redo, everything is just lovely and beautiful and tastefully done. I wish I lived next door so I could come over and get some peaches. Our peach tree died years ago (so what was my excuse to not plant a new one?) No peach from the store could ever compare with a juicy ripe one off the tree.

    Ok, ok, I need to replant! Maybe this will inspired me.
