As I previously mentioned in the blog, I am revamping the interior design of my apartment. The first project is the dining area! I am going for an earthy but warm atmosphere! I decided to use a gold and burgundy theme for coloring! And of course assortments of candle lighting  and a butterfly candle holder ornament of the same gold color scheme! These items allow the dining area to be used for daily use or a nice cozy dinner or dessert atmosphere by candle light!

 It is an easy way to make a college atmosphere, a second home( nothing beats real home). You can get most of the items i used for this dining area at Target, Walmart, Bath&Beyond;, and Crate Barrel! But the Best deals for large rugs, for a reasonable price, is Walmart! I love their rug in a bag deal! 8x 10 rug in a bag is only $48 to $68 dollars. I used two of those to cover a large room spacing ! It looks fabulous! And they come in a variety of colors!

Also, a basic table cloth and a fold out table makes moving in and out very manageable for a mobile student . My project is not done yet for this dining area. I am adding cushions to my chairs, place mats to the table and some curtains soon!

If you have any other suggestions, let me know!
