Are dining rooms needed? Hear what realtors had to say by Creative Home Podcast - Home Staging /Decorating Tips
When we lived in our house in VA, we had 2 dining areas: 1 formal dining room and 1 eat in kitchen. Both had full sized tables for our growing family of 5. We didn't normally eat in our formal dining room except for Sundays which I made a rule to do that otherwise it seemed like a waste of space. It didn't matter what the meal was since we normally ate as a family (which nowadays can be difficult to do!).

But when we moved to NC and had to build a house, we had to decide whether we wanted to dining areas again. Which then got me thinking about whether buyers want to see dining rooms or not. So I posed the question to some real estate agents and you wouldn't believe what they said. Listen in!

Some years I find some little treasures to add around the house, but I try to keep them simple and change out the spring tablescape whenever I can.

But I am here to tell you that I've tried several interior home wall colors in my houses and most of the time I get it right. There are some colors that I get talked into and then regret it, but we can make it work around that color too.

Specifically I am changing our bedroom color when we get back to our house in North Carolina. My husband picked a goldenrod wall color and while I was ok with it, now after 6+ years I want to change it. The goldenrod color was difficult to work with when it came to coordinating bed covers and in my mind I had a different color palette. So let's get into what color I am thinking of changing our interior home color in the master bedroom and talk about the 2022 color trends that you can choose to update your home.
